Your insurance company or HSA may be covering doula costs and childbirth education classes! Doula services are covered in many cases through different insurance plans. Marissa will provide an itemized receipt of your services for you to submit your insurance for potential reimbursement.
It is with great joy and excitement to share with you, dear community,
My sweet partner and I are welcoming a new being into our family! What a profoundly opening experience this has been so far. 🌼
After 12 years of birth work I’m finally becoming a part of this amazing team of mothers in a brand new way. I’m crossing the threshold, entering a new world.
I am planning to give myself maternity leave from supporting birth doula clients until spring 2025. Birthing families - I will be supporting births as of June 1, 2025, so if you are due on or after June 1, 2025 please email to book an exploratory call!
For postpartum doula support, my hope is to give myself and my family as much nourishment as possible during my sacred postpartum time. I will begin supporting postpartum families as of November 1st 2025.
I plan to pause weekly Prenatal Yoga Classes for a few months after class on Friday November 15, 2024 and come back to teaching weekly Prenatal Yoga classes as of spring 2025.
During the time of my leave, all existing class packs will still be valid for Mommy + Me classes. Please use your special code to sign up for Mommy + Me. I am extending the class packs, so you won’t lose any existing credits.
Additionally, I’m offering a Digital Class Pass which will give you on-demand access to 20 Prenatal Yoga and Barre classes taught by me, available below.
