Business Essentials for Death Doulas
Online Training Program
Build a values-aligned doula practice with practical structure, clear pricing, and authentic messaging. Learn simple tools for intake, agreements, outreach, and planning, then put everything into action with gentle guidance. The training is self-paced, so you can move steadily, return to lessons when needed, and shape a business that fits your energy, season of life, and community.
Who this Training is For
This course is designed for doulas who have completed core end-of-life training (with IEOLCA or another reputable program) and are ready to translate that learning into a professional practice. If you feel called to serve yet want clarity around pricing, packages, agreements, boundaries, or how to describe your work with confidence, you’ll feel at home here.
If you are just beginning your path and haven’t taken a foundational doula program yet, consider starting with the IEOLCA Certification. When you’re ready to shape services and launch, Business Essentials will meet you with structure and tools.
Register for the Business Essentials Course today and begin your next steps toward a steady, sustainable doula practice — $99 USD (reg. $375).
