Doula Services
Pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum are times of complexity, contradictions, and multiplicity—many things can be true at once. You may feel immense joy and massive overwhelm all at the same time. You may feel at times like you were made for this, and then the next moment, feel like you have no idea what you are doing. I am here to help you hold and face that complexity and to work through it with confidence, love, and acceptance.
As your doula, I will provide emotional, physical, informational, and nutritional support as you process, prepare, and navigate this time. I support YOU in YOUR vision of birth and postpartum.
Interested in having Eva as your doula?
Currently accepting birth and postpartum clients due in 2025 who live in Honolulu, HI!
“What if we looked at the old ways with creative eyes to see what wisdom they could give us? ... Could we reclaim this sacred time of recovery and bonding after birth, borrowing from the heritages of our aunties, grandmothers, and mothers-in-law, whoever and wherever they may be? After all, we experience the first forty days only once with each child.”
— Heng Ou, in "The First Forty Days"
Birth Doula Package
It matters how little ones enter into this world. I aim to help make that entrance as sacred, joyous, and supported as possible. My birth doula package includes:
2 prenatal visits (up to 90 minutes)
Support via text & phone from day of hire until postpartum visit
Access to a range of birth and postpartum resources, including books, handouts, etc.
On-call doula services for birth from 37 weeks until 42 weeks
Weekly check-in walks beginning one month before due date
Continuous support for labor and birth

Infant feeding (chest feeding, bottle feeding, pumping)
Infant care and soothing
Staying nourished (cooking and grocery shopping)
Belly binding
Household organization/cleaning

Client Testimonial
“Eva supported our family from the early pregnancy stages through birth and beyond, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience with her. In the prenatal visits, she was the perfect balance of practical and emotional help: providing new information and resources where needed, but also warmth and compassion when that was what we needed most. When it came to labor and delivery, her steady encouragement and calm, constant support gave me strength and made it possible for me to achieve the birth I wanted; she also supported my partner and his role in the birth. As we have moved into the postpartum period, I am continually impressed by Eva’s care and attention: she nurtures me so that I can recover and nurture my little one. And of course, she is wonderful with our baby!
Wherever you are in your birth journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Eva as a doula. Her support made a vast and positive difference in the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience for our whole family.”
Sliding Scale Pricing
Acknowledging the vast disparities in incomes and privilege within our society, I offer a sliding scale with three tiers of payment rates to increase accessibility to my services. I ask that you pay on the scale according to your ability and will not question your self-determined rate. The three tiers include:
Solidarity Rate
This rate is intended for folks with unstable or low income and black, brown, and indigenous folks.
Full Cost Rate
This rate is intended for folks making average income.
Redistribution Rate
Paying this rate allows for a contribution to support my time working with folks with less access to wealth.
Birth Doula Package
Solidarity Rate = $600
Full Cost Rate = $1,000
Redistribution Rate = $ 1,400
Postpartum Doula Services
Solidarity Rate = $15 / hr
Full Cost Rate = $25 / hr
Redistribution Rate = $ 35 / hr
I believe all birthers deserve access to birth and postpartum support. If money is an issue, let’s discuss.
