Carrot Fertility & Maven Clinic Approved Doula in NYC
Your employer may already be paying for your doula. Here's how to use it.
YourCherish Accepts Carrot Fertility, Maven Clinic, and Cleo
If your employer offers Carrot Fertility, Maven Clinic, or Cleo as an employee benefit — you may be able to apply those funds directly to your birth doula, postpartum doula, and photography services at YourCherish.
We work with NYC families every week who are surprised to discover their employer covers doula care. You may have this benefit right now without knowing it.

HSA / FSA
Birth and postpartum doula services are eligible expenses under most Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts. You can pay for your doula with pre-tax dollars.
We provide properly formatted invoices for HSA/FSA reimbursement. Photography services are billed separately and are not HSA/FSA eligible — we structure combined packages to maximize your eligible reimbursement.

New York Medicaid covers birth doula services for enrolled families — up to 3 prenatal visits, labor support, and 3 postpartum visits at $0 out of pocket. We are enrolled as a NY Medicaid doula provider. Full Medicaid guide →

Why This Matters
Birth doula support in NYC typically costs $1,500 to $3,000. For many families, employer benefits cover 50% to 100% of that cost — making a private certified doula genuinely accessible.
The same families who don't check their benefits are the ones who tell us a year later they wish they had hired a doula.
Your benefit may expire at the end of the calendar year. If you have Carrot or Maven funds remaining, doula services are one of the highest-value ways to use them.
