Episode 142: Doula Connections

Doulas of the Roundtable

Creating meaningful connections with your prospective clients—is a vital skill for any successful doula.

Building trust and a personal connection is essential for securing clients and providing the best support throughout their journey. Many practical strategies can be utilized to connect on a deeper level, from the first consultation to ongoing care.

Communicating with empathy creates a welcoming atmosphere. It also allows you to establish yourself as a trusted partner in your clients' birth or postpartum experiences. When meeting in a client's home, you can use context clues to initiate conversations that build rapport and trust, allowing you to understand better and support their unique needs. Things such as décor, family photos, and personal items all open pathways to genuine connection.

Join us as we explore how to create genuine connections that enhance the client experience and leave them feeling well-supported.
