Your investment in me includes everything listed above
$1100
A $350 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking. This is to secure I am available the month your baby is due. I only take on 3 births per month. Your deposit insures that I do not book another client in your place. Your deposit will not be refunded for any reason.
The remaining balance is due within 3 weeks of your due date. Any amount paid after your deposit may be refunded in the event you decide to cancel- BEFORE 37 weeks.
In the event that COVID restrictions remain at a level that I am unable to attend your birth, no refund will be provided. I will offer as much home support as I can before you head to the hospital.
