You have completed your training. They gave you a lot of information about what a doula does, but now what? What about the business side? Where do you even start? That's where I come in. I have been a full-time doula for eight years, and previous to working as a doula, I worked in executive-level retail management for some of the best retailers in the world. I worked for companies like Saks Fifth Avenue, J Crew, and Microsoft. I have experience in business and birth, and I can help you navigate how to get started and what you need to have in place to launch your business.
Are you a seasoned doula and would like to offer more? Learn how to create the digital side of your business, so you don’t feel like you have to be on call all the time. How can you set up a virtual platform? What are landing pages? What tools can you bring into the business to simplify your life? ’ll share all of that with you!
