This
income is considered gross income (before taxes and other
deductions).
"With publicity"
discounts, means that the
expectant mother (and her partner) will actively assist me in
promoting my services by the use of photography and electronic
(website) promotions, talking to other expectant mothers about my
services, and any other means of helping me advertise, promote, and
inform other expectant parents about services available through
Natural Attachment. This discounted rate not only helps the mother
and her family financially, but it also helps me to "get the
word out" among the community since my only advertising or
promotion is done through the company website and not all women
considering homebirth have access to online information.
This
sliding scale is for reference only. These fee
rates are not set in stone. Changes may be made without notice as
expenses increase. Natural Attachment will work with each individual
family’s financial situation and if hardship is proved, I
will
adjust my fees accordingly. I do offer payment plans and partial
bartering as payment options. Every woman deserves a positive birth
experience and every baby deserves a good beginning. All I ask is
that the amount that is agreed upon is paid promptly and fully.
