As a doula, determining your rate is not just about choosing a number that feels right—it’s about valuing your time, skills, and the expenses of running a business. Many doulas, both beginners and those further along in their careers, struggle to charge rates that reflect their true worth. If you want to make doula work a sustainable, long-term career, it's important to understand the business side of it, and that starts with setting your rate correctly.
