Business Systems
For doulas, midwives and birth workers
I build the packages, contracts, pricing and on-call boundaries that let doulas, midwives and birth collectives care for families without losing themselves. I am a certified postpartum doula and a former COO.

A simple website that books the right clients
How to manage a birth collective
Put agreements in writing before you need them: how clients are assigned, how backup works, how money is split and how decisions get made. Use one shared calendar and one intake process for everyone.
How should a doula structure her business?
Use clear packages with a set number of visits and on-call dates, a written contract with a non-refundable deposit, and a payment schedule finished before the due date. Then protect off-call time as firmly as on-call time.
Questions from doulas and birth workers
How much should a doula charge?
Price from your real costs, including on-call time, travel, backup fees and the hours you cannot work while on call. Most doulas undercharge for on-call time.
What should a doula contract include?
Services and visit counts, on-call dates, backup arrangements, the deposit, the payment schedule, and refund and cancellation terms.
Do you work with birth collectives?
Yes. I help collectives set roles, pay splits, shared calendars and written agreements.
