    July Doula Tips - Day 9 - Spend time working on your birth connections

    August 03, 2012

    It is great to have a local group of professionals which you can network with (great resources like: other doulas, childbirth educators, midwives, Chiropractors, Acupuncturist etc). This network often can lead to referrals and be a source for backups too. I am a believer that time spent networking is never wasted time!

    How do you grow your birth connections?

    Tomecas Gibson Thomas I connect with other Doulas thru Meetups. But I have not connected with any from my training class. I have attended doula mentor groups and meet and greets. But just getting together to have lunch or vent. I don't connect with anyone.
    Firm Foundations Doula Services I get great resources by attending birth conventions, and community showers. I drop into any offices, stores, and centers with remote connections to birth. Schools too. I introduce myself and get to know what people do and offer. Also I look for deals for my clients in exchange for referrals.

    Stephanie Aho Doula Banguilan For the local Atlanta folks, check out the Atlanta area childbirth professionals group on meetup or fb.
    Nicole McKay In Ontario (Canada), I attend Doula CARE meetings for my city and we plan doula month activities, continuing education events, and monthly meetings about different topics (pelvic floor health, etc). We usually invite a doula to facilitate or have a speaker come in. Great place to meet for backups!
