The Sustainable Doula Practice Toolkit

$35.00

Tools for building a practice that lasts

Doula work is deeply meaningful — and it can also be exhausting, confusing, and unsustainable without the right structures in place.

The Sustainable Doula Practice Toolkit is a practical, values-aligned resource designed to help doulas build clarity around capacity, boundaries, pricing, and shared care — without hustle culture, overwork, or guilt.

This toolkit is not about doing more.
It’s about creating a practice you can actually continue.

Who This Toolkit Is For

This resource is especially helpful for:

  • New doulas building their practice intentionally from the start

  • Doulas feeling stretched, underpaid, or burned out

  • Doulas curious about insurance or Medi-Cal–based care

  • Doulas navigating shared care, backup, or collective models

  • Doulas who want clarity without pressure or “scaling” rhetoric

You do not need to implement everything at once.
This is a reference you can return to as your practice evolves.

What This Toolkit Is (and Isn’t)

This toolkit IS:

  • Practical and immediately usable

  • Grounded in real doula work and lived experience

  • Supportive of insurance-based and shared-care models

  • Designed to reduce emotional labor and burnout

This toolkit is NOT:

  • Legal advice

  • A one-size-fits-all formula

  • A replacement for mentorship or community

How You’ll Use It
