Nanaimo Doula Collective The Nanaimo Doula Collective is a local collective of birth and postpartum doulas, providing support to families in the Nanaimo are. Our diverse doulas bring a rich background of education and experience to their work.
Fees For Service: The cost of doula support varies depending on the education, certification, skill and experience of the doula and the support the mother and her family want. It may also vary to accommodate families with limited funds. Birth Doula Support typically runs anywhere from $350 to $800, and most often includes 2 prenatal meetings, support throughout labor and birth, and 2 postpartum meetings. Postpartum Doula Support is typically about $15-$25 an hour, The amount of postpartum support a family might need will depend on their personal circumstances. Typically, families request a postpartum doula once or twice a week, for 2 or 3 hours/visit. A common way women access doula care is as a gift from their families, who may be unable, or unavailable to be with the new family. Doula support is an amazing gift to give! If our fees prevent you from accessing support, please contact our coordinator to discuss your situation.
