Diversify

Increase your income as a childbirth professional by offering more products, services, or classes.

If you are a doula consider becoming a childbirth educator or prenatal yoga instructor too.  Birth professionals that have other skills can leverage their personal connection to families who would rather obtain all their care from one individual.

If your services focus only on birth, think about how you can help afterward, perhaps as a postpartum doula or lactation consultant.  Your passion might be upon one particular childbirth professional role, however, if you are skilled in another role you can weather economic down times.

Learn about over 60 different roles available  in the childbirth profession in the newly released book, Called to the Childbirth Profession.
