Taking Tayna virtual doula training was honestly a game changer for me. Before the training, I kept hearing from others that I needed to offer free births or charge super low to “get experience.” Tayna shut that down real quick and I’m so glad she did. She told me from the start, “You’re going to charge what you’re worth,” and then she actually gave me the tools and confidence to do it. Her training wasn’t just about birth. It was about how to support clients in real-life situations, how to handle tough conversations, and how to really stand in your role as a professional. I felt so supported and so educated coming out of her training. Within two weeks I booked my first three clients and earned thousands more than I would have if I’d listened to the “do it for free” crowd. I’m so grateful I found Tayna. She helped me learn how to support families, how to set boundaries, and how to actually run a business, not just wing it. If you’re thinking about becoming a doula, don’t wait. This training is the real deal.
