Doula Business Success From Passion to Profit:
How to serve others AND make your living as a doula

Doula business success is dependent on more than your ability to attract clients through savvy marketing efforts, though that is a part of it. It's about being the best doula you can be, becoming resourceful in meeting client needs, delivering on promises, communicating effectively, and generating repeat business and referrals.

Lifespan Doulas offers guidance to reach your goals as a doula in the form of Patty Brennan's two books, The Doula Business Guide and The Doula Business Guide Workbook, a self-paced online business training, and private mentoring sessions.
