Tens Machine Rental ($50)
Rent Perfect Mama+ Tens Machine from 37+ weeks up to the birth of your baby.
TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation relieves pain by stimulating the sensory nerves which control touch and temperature signals. When a competing sensory stimulus is delivered to nerves that are signaling pain, the competing stimulus will close the so called "pain gate". We experience the same effect when rubbing or pressing on a body part immediately after it was bumped or hurt. Perfect Mama+ Tens machine has 60 levels of intensity and can be used to alleviate discomfort from Braxton-Hicks contractions as well as labor contractions. The rental unit comes with a set of fresh electrodes, which can be reused a few times by the same person. Additional sets of electrodes can be added on for an additional fee. |
Payment
While I am not contracted with any insurance providers, as most of them do not cover doula care, these services are eligible for reimbursement with most Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Please verify with your insurance provider before using your HSA or FSA card.
In case of a sudden emergency where I am not able to attend a contracted birth, a back-up doula will be provided. In case the back-up doula is also not available, a refund for the full amount will be issued to the client.
If you wish to cancel your birth package before the on-call period has begun, a refund will be issued for the amount paid, minus the fees for any prenatal visits that have already occurred. If you wish to cancel once the on-call period has begun, a refund for 50% of the amount paid will be issued.
Payment can be made by card, check or Venmo.
