What is a Doula invoice?

A doula invoice covers non-medical birth and postnatal support services including antenatal preparation sessions, 24/7 on-call birth attendance, and postnatal recovery support visits. Doulas provide emotional, informational, and practical support to birthing families but do not provide clinical midwifery care. Birth doulas and postnatal doulas are different roles, though some practitioners offer both. Doula services are self-pay; they are not funded by the NHS and are not covered by most private health insurance. Pricing varies widely by experience, location, and service scope. A deposit to secure on-call availability for the birth is standard and should be invoiced at the time of signing.

How to invoice as a doula

Invoice a deposit (30-50%) at contract signing to secure the on-call period. Invoice the balance by the due date or at the start of the on-call period. For postnatal doula work, invoice weekly or after each block of sessions. Cancellation terms should specify when deposits are and are not refundable.

Frequently asked questions

When should I invoice a deposit?
Invoice the deposit immediately on contract signing. The deposit secures your on-call availability for the birth period and compensates you for blocking other clients out of that time.
How do I handle a client who asks for a refund if the birth goes to hospital?
Your contract should cover all birth settings. A transfer to hospital does not affect your service - you accompany the family. Refunds are typically only applicable if the contract is cancelled by the client with agreed notice.
Is doula work VAT-exempt?
Doula services are not classified as regulated health professional services for VAT purposes, so they are not automatically VAT-exempt. If your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, you should charge VAT. Many doulas are below the threshold as sole traders.
How do I price my services?
Doula UK publishes suggested minimum fees as guidance. Rates range from £800-£2,500 for birth packages depending on experience and location. Postnatal doulas typically charge £15-£25/hour or £150-£250/day.
What cancellation policy is appropriate?
The deposit is typically non-refundable if cancelled less than 8-12 weeks before the due date. Cancellations with longer notice may allow deposit transfer to a different due date. Define this clearly in your contract.
