Episode 95: Doula Business Chat

Becoming a doula means that you are starting a doula business. Many doulas overlook this first step. Or this information is not a big part of their doula training.

Understanding the ins and outs of starting a business is important. Creating a legal business structure, setting up business accounts for banking, taking payments, and offering services are critical first steps. These steps not only protect your business but can protect your personal assets as well.

Running a business means that you need to manage many aspects of your doula business daily. Working with clients is a part of what you will do as you work in your business. But it won’t be the largest part of what you do, at least in the beginning. Doulas who want to make a living at this work will need to tend to their business just as diligently as they tend to their clients.

Join us as we discuss the basics of running a doula business.
