Every doula has different skills, experience, and fees.
Here are some of your options at B*E*S*T:
Getting StartedChildbirth Education & Discussing Your Needs
The prices below are for people who are not interested in labor support from B*E*S*T Doula Service, or have their own doula. These classes are available to people all over the country who want to learn from my decades of labor & birth experience.
If you choose to work with a doula from B*E*S*T Doula Service, the costs of these classes are included in your labor support package.
Virtual Interview
- A 20-30 minute virtual meeting so you can ask clarifying questions and get the information you need.
Introductory Class
90 minutes- Lots of tips about pregnancy, birth and newborn care. This is the class to help you decide if I am the right doula and educator for you.
- Add $20 to receive a packet of samples & goodies after our session!
Virtual Childbirth Preparation Classes
5-6 hours- We’ll continue with nearly six hours of 1-on-1 childbirth preparation to educate you as we get to know each other. Each session reviews tips on how to get the birth you want in a hospital setting, which hospital protocols are necessary, and how, when & why to avoid the unnecessary ones.
- These classes will prepare you for birth. You won’t need to take any additional childbirth education classes other than Infant CPR.

NEW: Unlimited Combo! Receive In-Person AND Virtual Labor Support
$2,000
Problem: You want a very experienced doula who will know what to do in any situation, but they’re so expensive!
Problem: You found someone who’ll be by your side no matter how long your labor lasts to provide hands-on support. They charge less money, but they lack experience.
B*E*S*T Doulas has the perfect solution for you!
A newer doula can provide hands-on support, while your highly experienced doula will be available for unlimited virtual support throughout your labor.
It’s the best of both worlds – wisdom gained by many years of experience, combined with the energy & enthusiasm of an eager new doula!
*If you’ve taken the Introductory class and all three prenatal classes, the price drops to $1,500.
The doulas at B*E*S*T have a range of fees from $2,500 to $5,000, but I also work with some brand new doulas who charge less. If my fee is too far out of your price range, just let me know about your budgetary concerns and I will try to find you a more affordable doula. Your time will be better spent interviewing doulas you can afford!
