Here are the questions we most often receive about The Ultimate Birth Doula Toolkit
- Is this toolkit just for new doulas? – No! While this toolkit was created with the new doula in mind, which is evident in the thoroughness of the materials, even the experienced doula will find ideas and tips that will make their practice more successful.
- Is doula training needed in addition to this toolkit? – Yes! This toolkit is not designed to teach you support techniques or about the stages of labor, which are usually the main topics covered at doula trainings.
- Is this toolkit needed in addition to doula training? – Yes! The Ultimate Birth Doula Toolkit is designed to walk you step-by-step through the process you will go through as a doula; giving you concrete, practical suggestions you can use in your interactions with clients and in the structuring of your business. These topics are generally not covered in depth at doula trainings. Additionally, you may receive hard copies of some forms you can use in your business at your doula training, but with this toolkit you’ll receive electronic copies of documents you can easily customize to suit your individual needs.
- Does this toolkit promote a one-size-fits-all doula practice? – No! The Ultimate Birth Doula Toolkit provides the backbone and organization of your business, but not the philosophy or training. You will be able to personalize all the materials and ideas you find in this toolkit in a way that fits you and your business. You will also be given plenty of prompts to help you discover your beliefs and style so you can build a doula practice that represents you.
- How is this toolkit different from the Building Your Birth Business Toolkit? – The Building Your Birth Business Toolkit is focused on the logistics around creating an LLC and the steps you need to take to ensure it has limited liability protection, whereas The Ultimate Birth Doula Toolkit is focused on the process of becoming a doula and working with doula clients. While there is a small amount of overlap between the toolkits, they cover distinct topics and have different areas of focus. If you are a new labor/birth doula, you would benefit from purchasing both of these toolkits.
- How will I receive the Toolkit? – After completing your purchase, you will be sent an email with a link to download all toolkit materials in a zip file.
When you use The Ultimate Birth Doula Toolkit, you won’t have to start your doula business from scratch. You will be given easy to follow steps to make your doula services more inspired, effective, and professional. This toolkit takes the guesswork out of developing your doula business and client process. You’ll save precious time so you can focus on why you became a doula in the first place – to spend your time supporting expecting and new families.
