Starting a Doula Agency
Booked Solid But Still Getting Inquiries?
Here’s Why You Might Be Leaving Money on the Table
If you’re a busy doula who is constantly turning away clients because your calendar is full, you might be wondering… What should I do with all these extra inquiries?
You’ve worked hard to build a solid reputation. You’re getting word-of-mouth referrals, providers are sending clients your way, and potential clients are finding you online. It’s an amazing place to be—until it starts to feel like a problem instead of a win.
You don’t want to burn out. You can’t be at every birth. You don’t have more hours to give.
So, like many doulas, you might just refer those clients to other doulas and move on. It feels like the easiest thing to do. But here’s the truth…
You Might Be Leaving Thousands of Dollars on the Table
Every time you pass along a referral without a system in place, you’re:
🚫 Doing the work of explaining what doulas do, selling the value of hiring one, and sending them elsewhere—for free.
🚫 Helping another doula book a client while your income stays the same.
🚫 Missing out on an opportunity to grow your impact AND your income.
So, what’s the alternative?
Instead of giving those inquiries away, you could be building something bigger—something that allows you to:
✅ Say yes to more families (without working more hours)
✅ Create additional income streams without taking on more births yourself
✅ Support other doulas who need clients (and provide them with real opportunities)
✅ Grow your business in a way that works for YOU
The solution? A small, streamlined doula agency.
“I Don’t Have Time to Start an Agency…”
I hear this ALL the time from doulas who are stretched thin but also turning away clients every month.
Maybe you’ve thought:
“Starting an agency sounds way too complicated.”
“I don’t want the stress of managing a huge team.”
“I wouldn’t even know where to start.”
If that’s you, I have good news:
You don’t have to build a massive, corporate-style agency. ✨
You don’t need 20+ doulas on your team. ✨
You CAN keep things simple, streamlined, and stress-free. ✨
In fact, my coaching client Juanita Harris thought she would never start an agency—until she realized she was already doing half the work without getting paid for it.
In my latest podcast episode, she shares how she built her agency in ONE WEEK. If you’re getting extra inquiries and don’t know what to do with them, you NEED to hear this.

Final Thoughts: What Would Happen If You Said Yes?
If you’re turning clients away every month, it’s time to ask yourself:
💭 What if instead of saying NO, I had a small team of doulas to say YES?
💭 What if instead of giving referrals away, I built a system to benefit everyone—clients, doulas, and myself?
💭 What if this next step allowed me to create more income AND more time for myself?
You’ve already built a thriving doula business. Now, it’s time to grow in a way that works for YOU.
