A note about fees: Money is a necessary evil. I need it, to care for myself and my family. However, if I wanted to be swimming in the stuff, I’d go do something else! I try not to let money get in the way of me supporting a family who I feel a real affinity for, so if you are concerned about my fees, talk to me. We can usually find a way. I have been paid in so many ways over the years so am definitely open to being paid or part-paid in kind, as well as cash. So if you or your partner have a skill or service you can share, let me know!
I’m happy to be paid in instalments.
Likewise, if, after you have been ‘doulaed’ you think I’m a bargain, please dom’t buy me flowers. You are very welcome to pay me more if you want to show your appreciation, or you think I’m cheap at double the price, or you want others, less fortunate than you, to be able to benefit from doula support – whatever the reason, your gift is appreciated, received with love and used to help those in need.
Remember that Doula UK also has a voucher scheme, so friends and family can buy you doula support and if you are in receipt of state benefits, Doula UK also has an Access Fund
