Fee Details
Birth Support The fee varies based on location (e.g., Calgary vs. High River). My services include prenatal visits, continuous labour support, and a postpartum visit. I aim to make my services accessible to everyone and offer flexible payment plans. In some cases, I may accept a pay-what-you-can plan. Postpartum Support The hourly rate depends on location. Additional expenses, such as parking and meal preparation, are extra. Daytime hours only, with limited weekend availability upon request.

Kat has been an exceptional support. Through TTC, loss, giving up on pursuing fertility treatments, and a surprising pregnancy, she has been a rock. It hasn't mattered if it was an up, a down, or an in between moment, she was there being this incredibly beautiful pillar of support. She is so kind and you know that her intention is always to ensure that you're not alone in your journey. She has so much personal experience and this field is clearly her passion and calling. When you have Kat by your side, it's like having the very best "best friend" you could ask for.
