How much does a birth doula cost in NYC?

Experienced birth doulas in New York City and New Jersey typically charge $2,500 to $6,000, depending on experience and on what the package includes. We share our current rates on a free discovery call, and doula fees are often reimbursable through employer benefits such as Carrot or Maven, or through an HSA or FSA.

Can one person be both a birth photographer and doula?

Yes. At YourCherish, the same certified person can support your labor as your doula and document your birth as your photographer, creating a seamless and deeply personal experience.

What hospitals in NYC does YourCherish serve?

Our doulas and photographers work with families at hospitals across the five boroughs, including NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, Lenox Hill, NewYork-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell, Columbia, Montefiore, LIJ, Brooklyn Methodist and Maimonides, and at hospitals in New Jersey and Connecticut. Each hospital sets its own policies, and we confirm the current rules with you before your birth.
