Hello, amazing birth workers! I’m thrilled to finally share the exciting news: my new ebook, “Hi! I’m a New Doula, Where In the World Do I Begin,” is here!
Starting out as a doula can be such a mix of excitement and “where do I even begin?” You know you want to help and to make a difference in someone’s life as they bring their child into the world—but maybe the journey feels a bit overwhelming at first. I remember that feeling all too well, which is why I’ve created “Hi! I’m a New Doula, Where In the World Do I Begin“. I want you to feel confident as you begin this career, and this ebook is designed to give you the tools and insights to help you do just that.
This guide is a resource I wish I’d had when I started. It’s packed with everything I’ve learned over the years, plus all the essential steps you need to build your career from day one. I’ve put together strategies and tips for those first big steps, like connecting with clients, building a community with other birth professionals, and creating your brand. You’ll get real-life insights, strategies, and practical advice to help you market yourself and grow in ways that feel authentic and meaningful.
What You Will Find Inside
Inside, you’ll find chapters that dive into all the essentials, starting with the basics on how to get started as a doula. I cover what to look for in certification programs, the different types of doula work, and some foundational steps to help you set your goals and intentions. We’ll also explore the importance of building relationships, from clients to birth professionals. Knowing how to connect with hospitals, OBGYNs, and other doulas is big when trying to get your name out there. It’s not just about being seen; it’s about building connections that make this work feel collaborative and supportive.
Marketing yourself is a big one, so I’ve dedicated an entire section to it. We’ll talk about building a strong brand and standing out on social media in a way that aligns with your values. I’ll also help you navigate website creation, so you have a professional yet personal online presence that resonates with potential clients.
If you’ve been wondering about different business setups, like joining an agency, partnering with other doulas, or even forming a collective, there’s a section for that, too. This part will help you think about how you want to structure your work and where you feel most comfortable. I’ve included tips on interviewing prospective clients, with practical questions and resources you can share—from VBAC information to cesarean support—so that you’re prepared for each client conversation.
Doula work is fulfilling but can be demanding, so there’s a whole section dedicated to avoiding burnout and finding balance. I’ve included ways to help you build a support system and prioritize self-care. You’ll find tips for managing childcare if you have little ones at home and insights into choosing certification organizations and finding your ideal clients.
“Hi! I’m a New Doula, Where in the World Do I Begin?” isn’t just another resource; it’s a guide written from my own experience. My goal is for you to feel supported and excited about building a career where you wake up each day ready to help families, advocate for positive birth experiences, and share in some of life’s most meaningful moments.
If you’re ready to step into this journey with clarity and a solid plan, then this ebook is for you.
