Amazing Book, Amazing Teacher
This book is really fantastic and I recommend it to anyone who is a Doula or wants to become a Doula. I took my Birth Doula training from Patty at her center in Ann Arbor, MI and I can personally say that this is a woman who is full of knowledge and has a lot to offer and teach. Starting any career or business is hard work and no this is not a complete guide to running a business BUT it is a very comprehensive book on what a business looks like for a doula. Great info and I suggest that if you are considering becoming a Doula you start with this book first.

Invaluable.
The information that Patty has packed into The Doula Business Guide is amazing, and this is an absolutely invaluable resource for me as I get started with my doula business. Patty is SO encouraging, and hits on so many of the issues that have crossed my mind in considering every aspect of becoming a professional doula -- on both the business side of things as well as on the personal.This will be read, and re-read, and resourced (Lord willing) for many years to come.

Great practical guide for doulas
This is a great book that every doula should read to learn the "business" side of running a doula business. Lots of good tax tips, advertising ideas, and practical suggestions to be successful as a doula.

Doula Business Guide--Great Resource
I think this guide has some great doula resource tips in it.I did have an objection to one section of the book--since it is kind of sensitive subject about child abuse, etc. Really, the parents should always be approached first about anything because something that might look like abuse to you may just be a bug bite or cut or sore. Always talk to the family first. It will be the best for everyone or a trusted friend of the family. We should always remember a child is going to be happier with his parents.
