Doula Trainings
Join me for our comprehensive workshop on how to become a successful doula! As a former midwife and doula living in NYC, I’m now eager to share my secrets to a filled and a path of joy in my birth work. You can have this success, too!
- Do you want to get booked 6 months in advance while charging what you are worth for your doula services?
- Do you want to prove the current reputation wrong that doulas burn out quickly and rarely make a living on being a doula alone?
- Do you want to learn how to run a doula business rather than being in a 9-5 helping profession that doesn’t pay?
- Do you want to know how to help your client get the birth they want?
Book a NY Doula workshop today and watch your business grow!
2023 WORKSHOPS
Supporting medicated births
Date: TBD
Fee: $15 (free for doulas who are listed on the NY Baby website- use code NYBABY).
More than 80% of clients mention that they don’t want an epidural during labor. Many change their mind once they are experiencing contractions. As a doula it is our job to support our client no matter what kind of birth she has. How can we help them when there is an epidural in place? What other interventions might come up with an epidural and how can we avoid a csection? Join NY Baby to learn!
