For End-of-Life Doulas
The end-of-life doula field is rapidly evolving as the U.S. population moves into an unprecedented period of aging. More people recognize the need to face death more openly. And, people in underserved communities need better access to supportive guidance through their dying process. As a result, the demand for end-of-life doulas is going to grow rapidly in the years ahead. To meet this demand, doulas like you will open private practices or join doula group practices working in communities across the country. Our online End-of-Life Doula Business Development Class is designed to provide the knowledge and tools needed to build or expand a private practice.
Success in a small business needs more than passion. You have to take a hard look at your readiness, understand the implications of choosing one legal structure or another, create an appealing website, and know how to write a blog. You’ll want to develop a comprehensive business plan, build a marketing campaign, and take advantage of the exposure social media gives you. You also need to know how to charge for your services, have a contract template, and other forms at the ready when you start. Figuring all that out on your own, and having the tools you need at your fingertips, can be time consuming and frustrating. That’s why we have done a lot of the hard work for you and packaged it all together in our online End-of-Life Doula Business Development Class. Let us help you start your business or expand an existing one.
The End-of-Life Doula Business Development Class is a one-time purchase. Access to this online class is ongoing. Periodically, new material will be added.
