Frequently asked questions
What is your range of services?
I offer virtual doula support and in-person services within a three-hour radius from South Bend, Indiana.
If I have to travel over an hour to you, there is an additional $300 fee to cover my costs. That covers my travel to you for the birth and for one postpartum visit. The rest of our visits will be virtual if you are over an hour away from me.
