As a Washington State certified birth doula, I am proud to accept Apple Health (Medicaid) insurance (2025 coverage is currently not available due to program delays), and I can work with HCA accounts and other insurance providers to help secure reimbursement for covered doula support services.
I also understand that financial flexibility is important, which is why I offer a variety of flexible payment options. Every family deserves the support of a doula, regardless of their economic background, and I’m committed to making birth support accessible to all.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out so we can discuss your specific situation. Together, we’ll create a personalized birth plan and payment option that works best for you and your family!
