Understand Your Brand

Finding Your Brand and Putting It to Work

Have you ever heard terms like "brand identity" or "target customer" tossed around and wondered what it all meant? Would it surprise you to know that great branding isn't a luxury but a true necessity for a sustainable business? In this course, you'll discover what branding means, why branding is important, how to define your own unique brand, and ways to define and implement that brand in your business. Unlock your fullest potential to attract your ideal clients, setting yourself up for a fulfilling and sustainable career.

Demystifying Client Meetings

Making Your Meetings Work

As a birth doula, how can you tell if you're covering what you need to in your prenatal client meetings? How can you find out what you need to know about your clients to best support them? How can you spend an amount of time that fits in with your busy schedule?

Learn to go deeper in your client meetings, optimizing your approach to learn the most about your clients, give them what they need, and make these meetings work for you.

The Backup Plan

Creating a Sustainable Doula Practice

As doulas, we're all familiar with the difficulties of being on-call for our clients. All too often, we neglect to protect our own time and space by treating backup as a just-in-case, only-if-absolutely-necessary component of our business—if we have backup at all.

In this course, you'll learn how to build a strong backup relationship that will help you avoid burnout, navigate life transitions, and ultimately put you on a path toward a sustainable, long-term career as a doula. Learn how to use backup and in what situations as well as that critical piece of how to set up a backup agreement with another doula. Find out the best way to talk to your clients about backup so that they can understand how backup works powerfully in their favor as well.
