BIRTH
“Not only is the child born through the mother, but the mother is born through the child.“
Gertrud von Le Fort
And in this way, also a father, a big sister or a big brother is born.
I will be happy to accompany you during this unique time.
BIRTH BUNDLE “our birth”
from 1800.-
Content of the birth bundle:
- get-to-know-me meeting, 1 hour
(if no contract is concluded later on, it will be charged) - 2-4 pre-birth meetings (4 hours in total)
- 4-week on-call service 24/7 around your due date
- continuous support during the birth
- 1 postpartum meeting/ birth reflection approx. 8 weeks after birth, 1.5 hours
- flat-rate expenses for communication via phone, SMS, messengers and emails
- a crocheted umbilical cord tie made by me, an alternative to the
plastic clamp - “our doula birth present”
Scaled pricing:
My doula fee is a flat rate based on the pre- and postnatal services and a 4-week on-call period.
The duration of labor and birth cannot be calculated in financial and time terms, as it can vary greatly and is never predictable.
My continuous support and care during the birth itself can therefore not be charged conventionally.
I work with a social pricing model for this incalculable part of my service:
For my support and care during labor and birth, you can add an additional amount to the basic fee of CHF 1800.- after the birth.
Choose the amount that feels right for you as a family and suits your financial situation best:
CHF 0.-, CHF 200.-, CHF 500.- or CHF 1000.-
The chosen amount can be paid e.g. with the final invoice after birth and will neither be evaluated nor questioned.
Not included:
- car expenses: 2 CHF back and forth from Unterkulm (travel time included)
- parking fees
- public transportation fees: all tickets from Unterkulm and back (Halbtax price),
travel time (40 CHF/hour) - additional days on call
(30 CHF/day, 150 CHF/week) - additional time/conversations
(140 CHF/hour) - please note my T&Cs.

What is an umbilical cord tie?
Instead of clamping the umbilical cord after birth, it can be alternativley tied off.
The umbilical clamp had not been invented until before the second world war and tying the umbilical cord used to be a common practice in this country.
The umblical cord tie doesn’t have to be sterile before use, as the surface of the umbilical cord, the clothing or the skin of the baby aren’t sterile either.
After the birth, the midwife will tie off the umbilical cord.
Please inform her in advance and discuss your wish to use an umbilical cord tie with her.
The umbilical cord ties are made of 100% cotton and can be hot-washed or sterilized if you wish to.
Please see the gallery below to find your favorite one(s).

Thoughts on value and pricelessness
I deeply believe that hiring a doula should not be a matter of financial situation, but a matter of personal need and the resulting priority given to the upcoming birth and postpartum experience.
The way birth and the time surrounding it will be experienced not only shapes the mom, the baby, the dad and the family, but ultimately has a long-term impact on the particular society, culture and generations to come.
Pregnancy, birth and even the postpartum period therefore deserve, in my opinion, at least as much investment, priority and importance as other big events in life (such as weddings, honeymoons, christenings, baby showers, decorating nurseries, birthdays, etc.).
A doula supports and promotes the best possible birth experience for mom and baby in a meaningful way.
The investment in your birth preparation, birth, and postpartum is a unique gift to your baby and you, whose lifelong value ultimately cannot be defined by any amount of money in the world.
If financial reasons prevent you from hiring a doula, get in touch. We will find a solution.
