30 Days to Building Your Doula Business
A free email series for doulas who know how to support birth but are not sure how to run the business side. One short, practical step a day. No overwhelm, no jargon, no cost.
16 emails over about a month. Unsubscribe anytime.
DoulaBusinessChallenge.com is a free 30-day email series from Robin Elise Weiss, a DONA-approved birth doula trainer with a PhD in healthcare management. Over 16 short emails, it walks practicing doulas through the business side of the work: setting a fee, finding clients, contracts, and getting paid. It is completely free, and you can go at your own pace.
The part nobody trained you for
You trained to support birth. The business side is the part that got left out.
Pricing, marketing, contracts, and getting paid are where good doulas get stuck. Not because they are not capable, but because no certification covered any of it. This challenge fixes that one email at a time.
What is inside
Four weeks, one practical step at a time
Each email gives you one thing to do that day. Most take five to fifteen minutes. By the end of the month you have the bones of a working doula business.
Your offer and your fee
Get clear on what you sell and set a fee you can say out loud without flinching.
Finding clients
The ways doulas actually get hired, so you can find your first or next client without cold pitching.
Contracts and getting paid
A contract that protects you, plus the basics of invoicing, insurance, and Medicaid where it applies.
A practice that lasts
Simple client systems, backup, and boundaries so you can keep doing this work without burning out.

Who is teaching you
I am Robin Elise Weiss
I am a DONA-approved birth doula trainer with a PhD in Healthcare Management, so the business side of birth work is my actual field. I have attended more than 1,500 births and trained more than 10,000 doulas over 30 years. I built this challenge because running the business is the gap my students name most, and it is very fixable.
You will not be doing this alone

When you join the challenge, you are welcome in the free Facebook community where doulas ask questions, share wins, and work through the same steps together. Abundance over competition, always.
