    I think with something like this, word of mouth is the most powerful recommendation. The more births you attend, the more people will talk about you. Assuming they have a positive experience, it will be all good.

    I found mind on the internet, not through here. I think she was listed on a doula directory and then I emailed and it went from there.

    More broadly, I think part of your problem might be that a lot of people still have no idea about doulas and what they can do.

    It seems you've covered all your bases in a PR sense and in time you will get more clients.

    Sorry, I missed your other question. You could give them to pregnant people you see out and about? The first few times it will be hard and you'll feel like a complete douche but if you want to really get out there that's the best way I can think about. If you do it in a non-threatening, non-hassling way it could work.
