How to Get Doula Clients Fast (Pregnant + Postpartum Moms Who Are Ready to Book)
If your doula business feels heavier than it should…
If you feel like you’re doing everything and still barely moving…
If you’re wondering why other doulas seem to be gaining traction faster than you…
Take a breath.
Because nothing is wrong with you.
What’s wrong is the structure you’re trying to build a business on.
This is where the Momentum Wheel comes in- the framework that separates stagnant doulas from the six figure doula who leads with clarity, ease, and confidence.
Let’s break it down.
Why the Beginning Feels So Damn Hard
In the early days of your doula business, you’re building from pure emotion.
Grit.
Desire.
Belief.
Identity that’s still forming.
You’re trying to:
• Be visible
• Call in clients
• Take up space
• Not spiral when a consult ghosts you
• Show up even when you feel lost
And even with all that effort, you feel like you’re not going anywhere.
Here’s why:
You’re pushing a wheel with one spoke.
It’s like dragging a wagon with square wheels and saying,
“Why won’t this thing roll?!”
Momentum isn’t personal.
It’s mechanical.
You’re not stuck because you’re not good enough.
You’re stuck because no one- not even a future six figure doula- can roll a one-spoke wheel.
Adding the Second Spoke- And Feeling the First Real Shift
Now imagine adding just one more spoke:
• Clarity
• Messaging
• Finally understanding the difference between content that educates vs. content that sells
• Niching down with confidence
• Saying, “This is who I help. Period.”
It doesn’t change everything overnight…
But suddenly the wheel feels less lopsided.
Your message sharpens.
Your content hits differently.
Somebody DMs you.
Somebody replies to a Story.
Somebody asks for pricing.
It’s small.
But it’s movement.
And movement builds belief.
Belief builds momentum.
Momentum builds a doula who feels unstoppable.
What a Fully Built Wheel Looks Like
Now jump ahead.
Picture your wheel fully equipped with ALL the spokes:
• Instagram (visibility)
• DM conversations (connection)
• Email marketing (loyalty)
• Long-form content (depth)
• Local networking (credibility)
• A bold, clear niche
• A simple offer stack
• Consult mastery
• Follow-up that actually works
• Systems that keep everything flowing
A full wheel doesn’t wobble.
It rolls- effortlessly.
This is when your effort-to-result ratio finally becomes fair.
This is when:
• Visibility feels natural
• Leads come in without hustle
• Your confidence becomes steady
• Selling feels like service
• Consults convert because your energy is grounded
When your wheel is built, you’re not chasing clients.
You’re leading.
This is the moment you start stepping into six-figure doula territory- not through force, but through structure.
The Spokes of the Wheel (And Why Each One Matters)
Let’s break down each spoke with precision.
Instagram- Your Visibility Engine
How people find you, trust you, and get familiar with your voice.
But IG alone cannot carry a business.
DM Conversations- Your Connection Engine
This is where real desire is uncovered.
Where relationships start.
Where leadership is felt.
Email Marketing- Your Loyalty Engine
Social media can glitch, crash, or hide you.
Email is intimate, consistent, and high-conversion.
A missing email list can cost you years of momentum.
Long-Form Content- Your Depth Engine
Blog · Podcast · YouTube
This is where people feel your authority and commitment.
Local Networking- Your In-Person Credibility Engine
Prenatal yoga studios.
Baby fairs.
Midwives.
OB offices.
In-person energy builds trust instantly.
Consult Mastery- Your Conversion Engine
This is where HEART-Led communication turns curiosity into a contract.
Where you stop performing and start leading.
Follow-Up- Your Momentum Maintenance Engine
Most doulas lose clients here.
Follow-up is how you stay present until they are ready.
Systems & Simplicity- Your Stability Engine
Templates.
Workflows.
Calendly.
Boundaries.
Content rhythms.
Structure creates freedom.
The Psychology of Momentum
Momentum isn’t just strategic- it’s psychological.
Once your wheel starts turning:
• You stop questioning yourself
• You stop undercharging
• You stop hiding your gifts
• You stop letting one “no” wreck your week
• You stop waiting for confidence and start acting from it
And instead…
You start trusting your voice.
You start enjoying sales.
You start attracting aligned clients.
You start stepping into the leader you’re meant to be.
This is how a six figure doula is built- from identity, structure, and momentum.
Not hustle.
