How It Works

Getting doula care with Melancentric is easy, flexible, and built around you.
Here’s what to expect from your first message to your final visit:

Step 1: Book Your Free Consultation

Click the button to schedule a 15-minute Virtual Meeting. We’ll learn more about you, answer your questions, and help you decide if doula care is the right fit for you. No pressure—just information and support.

Step 2: Coverage + Intake

We’ll check if your care is covered by Medi-Cal or another insurance plan. If not, we’ll talk about sliding scale or self-pay options that work for your budget.
Then we’ll send over a simple intake form.
