How did/would you find your doula?

I met mine at a birth doco screening, I was finding a way to get there on FB with Kelly, and she offered me a lift. I was still TTC and had just started my doula course. We became friends, and when I fell pregnant asked her to be my doula.

I think its all about the getting involved side! Events, forums, social networks, birth classes - anything you can go to in order to mingle with women who are potential clients. Directories are good too, but people getting to know who you are as a person works well than most things. I used to help out at Birth Choices and other birth education classes, at the end of it, they'd learnt about doulas and wanted to talk to some Or places like BB where women already know what they are

Word of mouth. I have met so many now just from being around, in all the various parenting channels that I have to make a CHOICE! And I'm pro-choice and all, I just suck at actually doing it.

I have both my certifying births from there and a couple of other contacts in just the last few weeks since I put mine up. Make sure you mention that you are a student and they will contact you.
