Boundaries - such a misunderstood word, yet an action we must take to sustain our doula practice for years to come!

Long births are the name of the game in doula work. We intentionally try to minimize the risk with high quality education, offering support from a distance until active labor commences, and putting clauses in our contracts. But somehow, we still hit those births that last 24+ hours. Boundaries: Recovery Plan

I'm going to be the best doula this world has ever seen! I'm going to be booked out six months in advance! I'm going to take every inquiry that comes my way! I'm going to hold the most certifications! I'm going to be the most popular. I'm going to be the most sought after. I'm going to be the best! Boundaries: Client Goals

I'm just a birth doula. Everyone needs me all the time. I never get a break. I'm always on call! Boundaries: Variation of Interests

Boundaries: Work vs. Personal
