What do our offerings & fees include?
The fees reflects the depth of our collaboration and the breadth of services provided.
Dedicated Time Commitment
Your custom ceremony or doula engagement requires a substantial dedication of time, typically spanning several months to ensure every detail is perfect.
-
I spend anywhere from 10 to 20+ hours on each custom ceremony, often requiring a minimum of four months of relationship-building.
-
This is often an intense undertaking that includes dedicated time before, during, and after the passing, ensuring all family and legacy wishes are honored.
What The Offering & Fees Ensure
Your fee covers the entire Meaningful Moments process, ensuring a seamless and deeply personal experience:
-
We’ll sit down for meetings and interviews so I can fully understand your vision, personal stories, and family dynamics.
-
I’ll compose the complete ceremony from scratch (no two ceremonies are the same).
-
I’ll work with you on multiple drafts until you approve every single word.
-
I’ll collaborate with wedding planners, musicians, and venue staff to ensure perfect execution.
-
I’m here to guide participants and provide an eloquent, personalized delivery of the ceremony.
-
You can rely on me to prepare and deliver a bound keepsake copy of the final ceremony script.
QUALITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF MY WORK. LET'S DISCUSS YOUR CUSTOM NEEDS.
offering Structure & Fees
Because each ceremony is uniquely designed and the level of required emotional presence and logistical work varies greatly (from a simple Baby Welcoming to a comprehensive End-of-Life Doula engagement), my fees are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Ceremony Fee range is $800 - $1,200
Note: This range represents the majority of personalized ceremony work. Comprehensive End-of-Life Doula packages are structured differently based on the required length and depth of support.
We pride ourselves on full transparency. We will provide a specific fee quote after our initial, no-cost consultation, once we understand the scope, location (Chicago vs. national travel), and timeline of your meaningful moment.

End-of-Life Doula Fees & offerings
My fee structure reflects the depth of time, care, and personalized guidance that end-of-life support requires. Every family’s needs are different, which is why I offer both individual services and package options. My role is to be a steady presence helping you prepare, understand, reflect, and honor a life with intention and compassion.
When you work with me, you are not paying for standardized or pre-written materials; you are investing in deeply personalized guidance, careful listening, planning, and ceremony creation tailored entirely to your family’s values, culture, and needs.
Below is a general overview of what may be included in your service:
