Whether you are training with CAPPA, DONA, ALACE, or any other doula organization, starting your own business and learning how to serve your clients effectively can be difficult. Finding clients can be even more difficult and you need a good place to start. Your doula training is your FIRST start, but once that is completed, you are still a bit lost and need some guidance from an experienced doula.
My name is Elizabeth Petrucelli and I am a Certified Labor Doula with CAPPA and DONA. I opened my business in December 2004 when my son was 15 months old. I felt alone and unsure of myself. Finding clients was extremely difficult and finding someone to help guide me was even harder. I needed a mentor but there wasn't anyone out there willing to help me. I was considered a "competitor" and no secrets were shared. I didn't know what a contract was supposed to look like and I certainly didn't know what to go over in prenatals.
