Building a doula business can feel overwhelming.
You finished your training feeling excited, motivated and ready to support families.
Then reality set in.
How do you actually find clients?
What should you charge?
How do you write a contract?
What happens when a client asks a question you don't know the answer to?
How do you build a business that works around your own family instead of taking over your life?
You don't want to work it out on your own anymore or find a business course that fits the birthworker industry...
What you actually need is time with someone who has spent decades inside this work; someone who can look at what’s in front of them & quickly see what matters, what doesn’t, what’s working, & what needs to change.
Because when you’ve been around birth work as long as I have, you start to recognise patterns.
You see where birth workers can streamline.
You see where processes can be simplified.
You see why they have so much trouble deciding on what goes into their packages & how to price them.
Show Me The OptionsThere are times in this work where you just wish you could sit down with someone who has been doing it for a long time.
Â
And pick their brain.
When I first became a doula over 24 years ago, there wasn't anyone showing me how to actually build a doula business.
I was learning as I went.
Some things worked brilliantly.
Some things... well, let's just say I learnt those lessons the hard way!
Now I get to help other birth workers do this with more support.
I've been supporting families since 2002, building my own business, creating online courses & mentoring doulas around Australia & overseas, one of my absolute favourite things is helping other doulas.
Sometimes you just need someone who's been there.
Someone you can message and say, "Can I just run something past you?"
Maybe you've got a tricky client.
Maybe you're unsure what to charge.
Maybe you're wanting to know you've covered all the bases in your contract.
Maybe you're trying to work out tech & wondering why on earth it's so confusing!
Or maybe you just want another experienced set of eyes on your business.Â
That's where I come in.
I won't tell you that my way is the only way.
I won't try to turn you into another Bonnie.
I'll simply share everything I've learnt over the last 24 years and help you build the business that works for you.
Here's how we can work together.
Doula Power Hour
$137
Need help with one specific thing?
For one uninterrupted hour, we'll focus entirely on you & your business & get you unstuck.Â
You'll leave with practical next steps, greater clarity & a plan you can confidently put into action.
Perfect for Doulas who want the opportunity to ask me absolutely anything business related & would like occasional mentoring throughout the year.
Monthly Mentoring
$197
Sometimes one hour just isn't enough.
After our 1:1 Power Hour, you'll also have private WhatsApp access to me for one month to cover all the little questions that naturally come up as you build your business.Â
If you are after that next level of support then this is just like having an experienced doula mentor in your pocket for a month.
This is where you stop guessing yourself & propel yourself forward.

Why do I sell is USD when I'm in Australia?
Because I mentor doulas all over the world.  Using USD keeps the pricing simple & consistent internationally.

I can not thank you enough Bonnie for your support as I set up my doula business. You are so amazing at helping others succeed. I feel like I'm on the right path having your support & wisdom. I love my packages now & I can't wait to tell my clients about them.
Carena
Wow ... I love you!!! Thanks for our session today & for sharing so generously, you have the best ideas. I think what you do is really incredible. I just don't have the words to be honest, you are beyond amazing so thank you thank you thank you. I feel like I can actually do this because of you!
Tanya
Your words really resonated with me about being fully booked but not thriving in my business. We rely on my income now as a family so it's really important that this work is sustainable. Thanks for showing me how to boost my earnings that don't physically require my presence.
A Final Note
Doula work can be incredibly meaningful.
It can also feel surprisingly solitary sometimes.
Many birth workers figure things out on their own; especially when it comes to the business side of this work.
But you don’t have to.
If it would help to talk with someone who has been walking this road for a long time, I’d be very glad to.
Love, your doula mentor, Bonnie 💛 Â
