social pricing model

the price of a doula accompaniment:

For a doula, accompanying a birth is a “professional matter of the heart” and it is important to her that every expectant mother can afford a doula if she wishes one.
However, doula work is also part of the doula’s income and a profession that cannot be planned or predicted, involves many restrictions and demands a lot from the doula and her immediate environment.

The doula fee is a flat rate, which is made up of pre- and postnatal services, includes a 4-week on-call period and can be supplemented with additional services.

The duration of the birth itself (and the doula’s attendance time associated with it) is unpredictable and varies greatly.
For this reason, my support during the birth cannot be charged at a flat rate either in terms of time or money and therefore cannot be included in the basic price of the birth bundles.

 

your birth – your chosen amount:

I work with a social pricing model so that different needs and this unpredictable part of our collaboration are taken into account.

For my support during your birth of unpredictable duration, you have the opportunity of adding one of the following amounts to the basic price with the final invoice after birth:

CHF 1000.-, CHF 500.-, CHF 200.- or CHF 0.-

Choose the amount that feels right for you and is compatible with your financial means. Your choice will not be questioned at any time.

 

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.

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.

In addition, engaging with continuous support during pregnancy, birth and postpartum is sustainable prevention and part of longterm health maintenance.

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.
