Business Books for Doulas Birth work is service work, and a doula practice runs on the same fundamentals as any
You trained as a doula.
Nobody taught you the business side.

Meet Robin Elise Weiss.
Birth work is the part you trained for. The business behind it is the part you did not.
I have spent 30 years on that side of the work: pricing, contracts, marketing, scope, client systems, and the long-term shape of a practice that can actually keep paying you. I have trained more than 10,000 doulas and attended over 1,500 births. Whatever you are working through right now, I have probably helped someone through it before.
Practical guidance and proven tools for practicing doulas
If you are already attending births, the next questions get harder. How much should you charge? How do you find clients who can pay you what the work is worth? How do you keep the business from swallowing the rest of your life? I have spent 30 years helping doulas work through those questions. My courses and tools are built for the business side of the work, the part your certification did not cover.
Build a doula business that holds together
My course library covers the working parts of a doula business: marketing, finances, pricing, contracts, and client communication. Each one is short, practical, and built around something you can apply to your next interview, your next contract, or your next invoice.
- Learn at your own pace. Short, on-demand classes that fit around births and the rest of your life.
- Earn continuing education hours. Most courses count toward DONA recertification and other CE requirements.
- Priced for working doulas. Most classes are $19. The flagship Doula Business Course is $347.
