Starting a Doula Business is Like Having a Baby


Starting your own doula business is a lot like having a new baby.

You're overwhelmed, you feel isolated, you have a bajillion questions running through your mind at all times and sometimes you just want someone to tell you what to do next.⁣

⁣You drive yourself crazy Googling how to do things all night long without really finding any answers. Who do you trust?

You lie in bed awake daydreaming and letting questions circle around and around in your head.

You miss the ease of your former life - when you had a steady paycheck.

I often compare the new doula business journey to the postpartum journey because you need the same things:⁣

  • an experienced guide who's been in your shoes⁣

  • a village of support of other people on the same journey⁣

  • someone to cheer you on and tell you that you're doing a good job⁣

  • somewhere to gather with people who "get it" and can support you⁣

  • help with your new role, support as you figure out these new tasks and processes that your new "job" requires⁣



And that's just what you get when you join the Postpartum Doula Academy!



  • A small "inner circle" of doulas (group is capped at 10 people) who share your mission, your passion and your dreams who will support you in a positive environment

  • An experienced marketing mentor (ME! ) to offer tips⁣

  • Access to wise leaders (guest experts each month) on a variety of marketing & business topics⁣

The doors to the Postpartum Doula Academy are open now. Join us!⁣
