Yes, absolutely.

In fact, many newly qualified doulas find this approach particularly helpful because it focuses on building relationships and local visibility rather than trying to build an online audience first.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of where your first referrals can realistically come from.

Yes.

This workshop isn’t about rejecting online tools. It’s about understanding that most doula referrals still come through trust networks in the real world.

Even doulas with established online platforms often discover that their strongest growth comes from word of mouth. This workshop helps you nurture that intentionally.

No.

Many birth workers feel uncomfortable with traditional sales language, and this workshop respects that.

Instead of learning how to promote yourself, we focus on helping you articulate your work clearly so that others can confidently recommend you.

Yes, gently so.

There will be time for reflection, small exercises and optional sharing with others in the room. Nothing performative, nothing high pressure.

Many people find the conversations with other doulas to be one of the most valuable parts of the session.

By the end of the workshop you’ll have:

• A map of your real-world referral ecosystem
• A clear referral story that describes your work
• A simple offline marketing plan for the next few months
• Greater confidence in growing your practice through relationships

The aim is that you leave with clarity and tangible next steps, not a long list of things to keep up with.

No preparation is required.

Just bring yourself, something to write with, and a willingness to reflect on the relationships and communities already around you.

Yes.

Some participants may be newly trained, while others may have years of experience. The exercises are designed so everyone can work on their own situation and local context.

Places are intentionally limited to keep the group small enough for conversation and reflection.

Once the workshop is full, bookings will close.
