    💳 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.

    Coverage and reimbursement amounts vary by plan.

    Empowered Beginnings does not bill insurance directly.
