Your support matters. For that reason, all packages include an experienced backup doula. While I fully intend and plan to attend every birth, having a backup ensures you are never without care if an unexpected situation arises.

    Concierge Package

    A Personalized Approach to Your Birth Experience

    No two births — or families — are the same. That’s why all support through Empowered Beginnings is designed to be flexible and tailored to you.

    While many families choose a comprehensive package, we can also build a personalized support plan based on your needs, preferences, and level of support you’re looking for.

    Whether you’d like:

    • Additional prenatal sessions

    • More hands-on preparation

    • Earlier on-call support

    • Extra guidance leading up to labor

    We’ll create a plan that feels aligned, supportive, and right for you.

    If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, just ask — we’ll build it together.

    Cost: TBD

    (Applies to All Packages):
    If the client is comfortable, I will take a few candid birth photos and share them within 72 hours of delivery in a password protected gallery — at no additional charge.

    💳 Payment Options

    I offer several flexible payment options to make booking support as accessible as possible:

    • Stripe (via Doulado) – My primary payment method and the best option for clients planning to use HSA/FSA funds. Eligibility and approval are determined by your individual plan.

    • Square – Available as an alternative payment option and may offer Buy Now, Pay Later options such as Klarna or Afterpay, subject to approval.

    • Venmo, Cash, ACH or Check – Also accepted.

    Processing Fees
    A 3% processing fee applies to payments made via Stripe, Square (standard payments), or Venmo.
    Payments made using Buy Now, Pay Later options incur a 6% transaction fee.

    Important Notes

    • Buy Now, Pay Later options are administered by third-party providers and cannot be used with HSA/FSA funds.

    • Approval of HSA/FSA payments or reimbursement is determined by your plan administrator.

    • Detailed invoices or receipts are provided to support reimbursement submissions when applicable.

    If you have questions about which payment option is best for you, I’m always happy to help.

  • All doula services with Empowered Beginnings are provided on a private-pay basis.

    I am registered with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey to support insurance reimbursement for doula services. If your plan offers a doula benefit, I provide detailed invoices and superbills to help you submit for reimbursement.

    Carrot Fertility
    I am an eligible doula provider through Carrot Fertility, and my services are structured to align with covered birth doula support. I’m happy to provide documentation to assist with reimbursement.

    Coverage and reimbursement amounts vary by plan.

    Empowered Beginnings does not bill insurance directly.
