NY Baby is offering a 6 session mentoring/training series with Stephanie Heintzeler. This is for new birth and postpartum doulas who are not yet certified or newly certified.

Stephanie is a former midwife/birth doula and lactation consultant in NYC who founded the doula-agency “The New York Baby” in 2014.

$147 for the whole series.

By the end of the 6 sessions you will have learned about

• How to get your client to hire you

• How to get into networking and build a team of people who you can refer to and who will send you clients

• Doula-boundaries (with clients and scope of practice-boundaries)

• How to lead a prenatal session

• Safe practices for birth support

• Helping a client during labor (communication with medical team, comfort measures for client, pain relief options)

• Medical terms

• How you go about a postpartum visit

• Tackling breastfeeding issues

• Safe practices for a postpartum visit

And much more!

During the calls we will break into small groups to practice client interviews, prenatal sessions, and birth support. Role playing will be a big part!

We will set up a group chat via Signal where everyone can stay in touch with each other in between sessions.

In between our sessions you will have some homework to do which will help you grow your business and doula-knowledge.

During or after our time together you can apply to work with the NY Baby agency for client referrals.

If you have any questions please email stephanie@thenewyorkbaby.com to sign up.

What other interventions might come up with an epidural and how can we avoid a csection? Join NY Baby to learn!

Grow your business

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 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?
