Thread: I may have a new doula client

Yay I am so excited. I meet with her on Wednesday. She wants somone who know something about hypnobabies. Wish me luck!!!

exciting, good luck! I'm sure the fact that you are doing hypnobabies for your own upcoming birth and you have been accepted into their training program will be to your benefit

My first "client" (a friend, whose birth I am doing for free) is 38 weeks tomorrow, so my first birth as a doula could be any day now!

Very cool - congrats!

That's exciting. I hope it goes well for you I have a client who is due anyday now, I'm looking forward to her birth.

OOOO how exciting! I hope the meeting goes well for you.

Thanks! I am excited. This may be my first paying client too. LOL

Well I am in wait mode now. I am unsure what they are going to do. I am second guessing myself. ahh I hate this part. If I wasn't desperate for a new client it wouldn't bother me that much. Starting out as a new doula is just hard.

I have had two potential clients I interviewed with decide not to use me, and it is so hard! They both explained their reasons for their choices and they made sense, but it's still tough--I think it's hard no to put some emotional investment into it when you have a meet-and-greet.

Trust yourselves & your ability to support these women & their families - it all falls into place exactly as it should, in the end

I know I can help her. I just know it. I am just not sure how well I sold myself. She is just a month away from delivery and I left the fee the same. I am not much of a business women. LOL
