Professionalism has many definitions, and how one exhibits doula professionalism in their doula work will vary.
We believe that professionalism means that we embody integrity and accountability, responsibly conduct ourselves, and always present the best versions of ourselves in our work.
This means we have solid systems to navigate prospective clients through our hiring process efficiently. From the first contact to signing the contract, individuals seeking our care are learning about what it is like to experience our support. Their interactions will shape their desire for our ongoing support and determine if they feel safe in our presence.
Boundaries are also an essential part of professionalism. Boundaries around our time and when we work. This may mean scheduled time off. Or a weekly schedule that gives us time off to focus on family. Boundaries around contracts and money are also essential.
Other aspects of professionalism include phone/video call etiquette and our appearance. Join us as we discuss why doula professionalism is important and how to define what that means to you.
