You’re passionate about postpartum doula work,… but it’s hard to land clients and run your own business.
You go on interviews but you’re not sure if you’re doing everything you can to maximize your chances of being hired.
You want to make this sustainable and prevent burning out, but you’re not sure you’re setting the appropriate boundaries – or if setting boundaries will impact your chances of being hired in the first place!
Contracting with clients makes you nervous – have you covered all of the “what if’s”?
You’re overwhelmed by how to make sure your clients don’t overlap too much – but don’t have gaps between them that are too big either!
Basically… you know that just because you’re passionate about the work does not mean you’ll be successful at it!
You don’t want to be one of those doulas who burns out and moves on, because your heart is in this work!
And… You know that can’t be expected to be a good doula and a successful business owner overnight. But you want to make sure your investment in doula training doesn’t go to waste.
The thing is, if you get the right support, it’s totally possible. For eight years, I’ve been witnessing new postpartum doulas begin their journey, hearing all of their insecurities, and to be honest.. watching the mistakes they make. I’ve helped them with the core components of building their career such as: -improving their interviews – and therefore, their hire rates!
-understanding how they can stand out and get hired despite being the “new” doula
-setting boundaries now to prevent disappointing families later
-benefitting from feedback to constantly improve
-getting clarity about their contract so they feel 100% explaining – and standing by – their terms
-taking control of their schedule to maximize earning while preventing burnou
