How old was your little one when you started? I’m looking into becoming a doula, but my son is 6 months old and I’m worried about the time I’d have to spend away from him and how manageable it would be.
He was around 9 months when I took my first client and we weren’t breastfeeding anymore. Is the time away from him hard, yes, absolutely. But I spend less time away with him because I own my own business, I trust he’s in great hands when I do need to go and know all parents have to take this step - so don’t let that guilt sneak in!
This is great. What places did you put your business cards out at?
Thank you!!! Anywhere. Chapters. Starbucks. Coffee shops. Kids stores! Midwives. Swimming pools. Legit just drop them where you think someone pregnant would go!
One thing I'm struggling with, as an upcoming doula (I'm in the process of becoming certified), is the idea that I will have to decline people. I will be the only doula within 200 miles. How do you say no gently? This is the one thing about which I've been truly stressing.
Very valid! Don’t overthink it. You will be too busy with families who are paying for your services and know your worth! You just say I am so sorry I don’t have availability for your due date, but I can offer you childbirth education or postpartum care and then send them on their way! Put availability on your website before hand too! Overtime I’m sure new Birthworkers will appear so build relationships, and then you can refer 🥰
Oh you should focus on getting clients first, it’s hard to build a clientele in the first place because not a lot of people know what a doula is
How did you get your very first clients?
Facebook! I posted in a Mom Group saying I was a New Doula and she was due next month and paid me $150! She has given me five referrals now and we’re planning her next homebirth for this fall 💜
