I'm a new doula....How much should I charge?

[@alejandra49]

Love this video! I'm really wanting to become a doula and I'd like to aim to help minority groups and/or people that might not be able to afford a doula. You really confirmed what I've been thinking, contacting different organizations in hopes of finding one that might be able to fund me. Thank you!

[@DoulaSchool]

Hey Alejandra! If you're still looking, we do have some scholarship opportunities at Doula School. Here is the link to apply doulaschool.ca/scholarship/

[@alejandra49]

@@DoulaSchool I'm actually very interested. Thanks for the info!

[@angelatillman4323]

I really could have used doula services when I was pregnant. No one told me about any services or any kind of help. Doctors turned my being ill into a joke. For some reason it was always a man saying that. The whole pregnancy/birth experience was awful

[@DoulaSchool]

Sorry you had a difficult experience. Hugs

[@master00booya]

Thank you for this, I’m new and have so many questions, this is a great start.

[@samanthajackson6418]

I’m currently completing my second postpartum doula training. Your videos are incredibly informative! Thank you.

[@DoulaSchool]

Thank you Samantha, this means a lot!

Love that we were able to help Danielle!

[@rhondal8887]

How's it going for you?

[@dijhaallen]

This was so helpful, thank you!

[@DoulaSchool]

Thank you! Glad you found it helpful

[@jeysianebecker5108]

Love this! I just have a question, would that value (a month of daycare) be per month or the whole package until the mother gives birth?

[@StefanieAntunes]

Yes, as I describe and have found, that's equal to the typical package (a couple of prenatal visits, birth and one postpartum visit).

[@peacecreature1238]

unrelated but you look just like Alicia Silverstone !

[@user-nc7dl7wf8k]

I didnt knock it

[@MsPeaceofGod]

How often do you see your client in a week?

[@DONAIntl]

Most doulas include a couple of visits only during the pregnancy! Some include more or have different packages, but it's not the same as visits with a primary care provider since we don't have medical duties. It's more for getting to know them and vice versa.

[@MsPeaceofGod]

Oh I see. As a Postpartum doula, how often would you say a client should be seen?

[@DoulaSchool]

Ah! Well that will depend on their needs and mostly their budget. We sometimes work one time with a client to help provide education and demonstrate techniques and some clients will hire us for 3 months of support! As a birth doula most doulas provide one or two follow-up postnatal visits.

Nyc is 1500 a month
