Is becoming a doula the right type of lifestyle for you?

Do you want a doula career?


A doula must be:

• Open to almost anything, especially when it comes to working with expecting mothers.

• Can handle certain amount of stress

• Has the ability to multitask at all times

• Being able to combine personal and professional life since they are on call on a consistent basis for their clients.


Try volunteering with a doula and see them through the entire process.

You can get in contact with your local hospital or public health office to see if they have the name or a way to get in contact with a certified doula in your area.

Some doula’s may be hesitant to have a volunteer with thembecause of the privacy and confidentiality, however, there are others that are happy to help share their experiences.


Search on the internet to find a doula in your area.

In some of the smaller areas of the United States it may be more difficult to find a doula.

However, if you’re willing to travel even if it’s just to experience a live birth and be there for a portion of the post-partum job of a doula it would be worth it.


If doulas are not available in your area, try connecting with a mid-wife.

At least you would get an introduction to child birth and care of mother.

Remember: mid-wife, are most typically a certified nurse which is not something that a doula is.


Also try to get in touch or visit some of the agencies where a doula can get their certification that could assist you in learning more about the life of a doula.
