Planning for vacations, family events, or personal time can help prevent doula burnout.

Even labor doulas with “unpredictable schedules” can plan ahead by choosing not to take clients during a specific period or by relying on their backup doula. Postpartum doulas can also block off their schedules to create an intentional lull.

We must take the same advice we give our clients when we tell them to prioritize themselves and their needs.

These unintentional lulls are dangerous. They can create a narrative in your mind that leads to self-doubt and self-depreciation.

If you are a doula experiencing an unintentional lull in your business, we encourage you to reach out to us! At ProDoula, we are here to support our members through the highs and the lows, just as ProDoula members do for their clients.
