One of the most common mistakes a new doula can make is treating their doula business like a traditional business. Advertising, marketing and promoting your business in the traditional ways can end up delaying your success in your doula career. In Micah’s mentorship, she covers why these traditional techniques are not as effective in our unique, service industry. She gives away all of what she did to build her brand and remain relative in her local area for years.

Did you know that 98% of women in the United States will deliver their baby in a hospital? Why is this an impactful statistic for doulas? In this episode, Micah shares her passion and conviction about doulas being able to confidently support an expecting family within a hospital setting. There’s a difference in supporting in this environment as opposed to a home birth or birthing center. If you’re an expecting parent, this episode will give you clarity on what to look for in a doula if you’re wanting a more natural childbirth-friendly experience in the hospital.

What if doulas, L&D nurses, OBs & midwives all worked TOGETHER to help bring the most positive birth experience possible for a laboring mama?

In this episode, I’m being interviewed by my friend, Kelly Hof who is an L&D nurse and we share the same vision of teamwork in the birthing room. I’m telling you, this approach to supporting a family is extremely beneficial during childbirth. On Kelly’s show, The Birth Journeys Podcast, we have a passionate discussion and our hope is that anyone listening will see and understand why this message needs to be shared more.
