Why Doulas Choose The Birth Companions
Imagine being able to make an additional $50,000 every year without having to do any of the admin work that you do for yourself? We take care of the business side so that you can focus on support!
Consistent Clientele
You will have the opportunity to expedite your journey toward becoming a true professional doula. You will also be guided by your mentor and the rest of The Birth Companions community in growing your personal brand and business.
Freedom to Run Your Business
We value freedom and agency. We foster the connection, but you choose your own fee and set the tone for the structure of your support.
Insurance Billing
You will be able to focus on your favorite part of this work while we take on the administrative load.
Mentorship
Mentorship includes 1:1 mentor relationship building, virtual master doula roundtables, and a 'master warm line' when in need of immediate support.
Emotional Support
Doulas are empaths. We need to receive just as much support as we give in this line of work. Through monthly birth and postpartum shares, master roundtables, our doula hotline, and several chat groups, you will NEVER feel alone.
Backup Network
Knowledge only comes with experience. Your experienced mentor will be there to answer your questions during challenging births and to provide you with in-the-moment suggestions.
