Did you know that doula benefits may be available to you through your workplace?
Are you expecting and considering hiring a birth and/or postpartum doula? Did you know that many workplaces are providing stipends or have partnered with companies such as Carrot Fertility and Progyny to offer their employees a stipend for doula care? YES, you read that correctly. We are seeing families with stipends between $2,000 and $60,000 from their employee benefits.
The process is easy and we are skilled at helping you through the process. We even offer labor doula packages tailored for your family to utilize your family full employer benefit. These labor packages include virtual classes and a daytime shift with a postpartum doula. Learn more about our workplace benefits package here.
If your work place offers a general doula stipend and you would like to book postpartum support, we will help you navigate this and we will work together to create a package that works best for your family. Learn more about our day and overnight postpartum doula support here.
