Doula Business Starter Checklist | A&V Learning Studios

Every thriving doula business begins with a clear plan. This free checklist walks you through the first steps to turn your calling into a confident, professional practice. Inside, you’ll find practical steps to lay your foundation — from defining your “why” to setting prices and creating your first client forms.

What you'll learn

Build Your Foundation

Define your “why,” identify your ideal client, set your prices, and register your business legally.

Create Systems That Work

Develop contracts, intake forms, and onboarding templates to streamline your client experience.

Launch and Grow Confidently

Announce your business, attract your first clients, and plan for sustainable growth and balance.

Tips for Future Leaders

Great leaders aren’t born overnight—they’re built through relationships, credibility, and consistent growth. Success starts with connection: strong relationships form the foundation for referrals and trust. Your credibility is your greatest currency, so protect it fiercely. Don’t wait for everything to be perfect; progress comes from starting where you are. True resilience is built through support systems, not solo work. Every skill you build today—no matter how small—will serve your future clients and shape the leader you’re becoming.

That’s why we created the Doula Business Starter Checklist — to help new and aspiring doulas start strong, stay grounded, and grow with confidence. This is the exact roadmap we wish we had when we began, and now it’s yours.
