There are so many different ways to invest in your business, which in essence, is investing in yourself. You can invest small amounts, which give you a return on investment in terms of more time. That extra time can be spent working on other things in your business or spending it doing something you live that has nothing to do with business. A slightly larger monetary (and time!) investment might...

When I started my doula agency, I didn't know what I was doing. I made a lot of mistakes, and those mistakes cost me time and money. I needed this to work for me because I didn't want to go back to my corporate job, and I wanted to have control of my time so I could not only help postpartum families, which is something I am passionate about, but so I could be home for my family. But, all...

As a birth or postpartum doula, you have an infinite amount of clients. People are always having babies! So it truly saddens me when I see doulas who have the mindset that they can't get clients, they have to take more courses in order to get clients, or you have to offer a million different services. The truth is, you can get clients without having to take more courses or offer a ton of serv...

Having a sustainable doula business that lights you up starts with having systems in place.

Three ways that I recommend to ensure your business is sustainable are:...

As a birth or postpartum doula, you have an infinite amount of clients. People are always having babies! So it truly saddens me when I see doulas who have the mindset that they can't get clients, they have to take more courses in order to get clients, or you have to offer 50 million different services.
