Sliding Scale for Doula Services
In order to make services accessible to all people, we ask those in need of doula services to choose which of the following tiers that they find themselves in, acknowledging an hourly rate within each one that they feel comfortable with.

- I have debt that sometimes prohibits me from meeting my basic needs.
- Working through survival credit card debt.
- I have no access to savings.

- I rent lower-end properties or have unstable housing.
Price: $25-$75 per hour.
Tier 2

Installment Plan for Memoir Services
For our memoir services, while the cost of service is a set flat rate, we require clients to create a customized installment plan with us. We want everyone to be able to have their memoir written and for finances to not hinder that process. The fee for legacy memoirs are spread out over the course of the work, up to 1 year.
