Unveiling the Investment: The True Cost of Hiring a Sleep Doula
Hey Amazing Families,
Hope you're sipping on some good coffee while diving into this post. Today, I want to chat about something that often comes up: Why does it seem a bit pricey to bring a sleep doula on board? As your go-to sleep doula, let's break it down together, just like we would over a cup of coffee.
First Initial Chat (30-60 mins): We kick things off with a friendly chat – just like friends catching up. It's where we get to know each other, ensuring our approach aligns perfectly with your unique situation.
Review Questionnaire & Sleep Log (1 hour): Your details are like gold to us. I spend about an hour going over your detailed questionnaire and sleep logs and to get the full picture.
Sleep Foundations Consult (1.5-2 hours): This is where the magic happens. We delve deep into the foundations of sleep, discussing strategies and creating a roadmap tailored specifically to you and your child’s needs.
Prep for Consult (30-60 mins): Think of this as the behind-the-scenes action. From grabbing necessary items to bundling up your printables, it ensures everything's set for a smooth consultation.
Travel Time (Up to 60 mins, if in-home): For in-home sessions, the time spent traveling is a key part of the whole experience.
Sleep Coaching Consult (2-3 hours): The heart of it all. We work together closely to create a sleep coaching plan that aligns with your parenting principles and goals making sure you feel confident moving forward.
Write Personalized Sleep Plan (1.5-2 hours): Crafting a plan just for you takes time and expertise – making it as unique as your situation.
Daily Email/Text Review and Response (15-60 mins/day): Ongoing support is CRUCIAL. We're in this together, reviewing updates and adjusting the plan as needed.
Phone Call Follow-Ups (1.5-2.5 hours): These calls are our way of keeping the connection strong, addressing concerns, and celebrating your victories.
Total Time Investment: 14.75-32.5 hours
And remember, this breakdown doesn't even touch on the continuing education hours and business expenses to keep providing you with top-notch service.
Investing in a sleep doula is more than just clocking in hours; it's investing in your well-being.
As you can see you receive SO MUCH SUPPORT when you work with me. I can guarantee positive changes in your baby’s sleep within the first 3-5 days of implementing our plan, but most importantly, you’re not left to figure out changes to your plan alone. I’m with you every step of the way.
So what do you say, are you ready to get more sleep?
Warmest regards,
Doula Deb, Your Dedicated Sleep Doula
