Episode 85: Working With Repeat Clients

As a birth worker working with repeat clients is always an exciting and humbling experience.

For many, the repeat client is like working with an old friend. Someone you’ve developed trust, a deep bond with, and a healthy mutual respect for. Yet at the same time we as birth workers have to be careful not to make assumptions about what the client will need in this birth or postpartum experience based on previous experiences.

There are also many questions that birth workers have when it comes to working with repeat clients. For example, we often hear the following:

“How much do I charge a repeat client if my prices have increased since their last birth/baby?”

“How many prenatal visits should I do with a repeat labor client?”

“What topics should I cover during a pre-birth visit with a repeat client?”

“How will what this client needs from me change as a postpartum doula with an older sibling in the home?”

Come join us as we discuss the ins and outs of working with repeat clients.
