I will continue to say it until I’m blue in the face. We need outside perspectives on our businesses to help us thrive! Whether that’s because we don’t have all the ideas or because we haven’t walked this out yet and feel a touch stuck. Today we are diving into that again. Because, dear doula, you need it!

The Benefits of Doula Coaching with Becky Chavez
Doula Tips and Tits with Kaely Harrod
10/16/24 • 61 min
Doula Business Coaching is not just a fancy, unnecessary thing. It is specifically designed to grow you and your business using the expertise of a doula who’s been there done that many times over! It’s not about making you into me and my business, but it is about helping you grow using tools I know to work and not making you figure that out on your own!
Meet Becky Chavez:
Becky Chavez, a first-generation Latinx mother, is married and has three bicultural children, residing in Whittier, CA, with early childhood roots in Nayarit, Tepic, Mexico. Proudly identifying as Mexican American, Becky dedicates herself to her community, offering workshops, support groups, and personalized birth and postpartum care to families in-person.
Founding Birth to Latch studio with a deliberate focus on creating a nurturing space for families, she aims to address postpartum depression and ease the transition into parenthood through birth support and perinatal education. Birth to Latch operates as a collaborative practice, uniting doulas, lactation professionals, and other healers committed to holistic self-care. With five years of experience in home visiting with Los Angeles County, Becky served at-risk families during the perinatal period, providing essential skills such as childbirth preparation, infant massage, non-violent parenting methods, and resource connection.
Inspired by her own struggles through postpartum depression, Becky's passion for aiding others blossomed, propelling her vision for the past eight years since her doula training in 2016 and the inception of her inaugural postpartum support group. Continuously pursuing educational growth, Becky remains dedicated to self-reflection, learning, and personal evolution to best serve the families she encounters. Follow her on social media at @birthtolatch and her space continues to grow.

Do Doulas Need Business Strategy?
Doula Tips and Tits with Kaely Harrod
03/10/23 • 9 min
Strategy and planning is at the center of what we do as doulas. If we support birth we tell our clients they should go into the process of labor with a plan, or at least a bit of knowledge and some preferences! Your Doula Business is similar to this! You need to have some kind of game plan, and also a little bit of flexibility for how this might go.
You need to have an idea of not only where you hope to go as a doula, but also what that could look like and how you may get there. Now I specifically want to encourage you to both DREAM BIG and also plan strategically. Those two need to go hand in hand. They need to be held together, just like in birth preparation.
Key Takeaways:
- All business owners need plans and strategy
- Doula business owners are no different
- There’s still a LOT of variety in how that can look
- But intentional planning is important no matter what your goals are!

What is a Doula Coach?
Doula Tips and Tits with Kaely Harrod
03/08/23 • 11 min
As a coach I doula doulas :) I teach doulas how to organize, run and plan their businesses, but also guide them with compassion, empathy and support throughout the whole year we are together! I pour into my doulas so they can pour into their clients.
Doula coaching is something that not as many people have heard of. I have so many conversations explaining what doulas are/do so this doesn’t feel that far off from those!
Key Takeaways:
My doula coaching includes:
- Goal setting
- Strategy
- Accountability
- Encouragement
- Referrals for services
- Key resources for your business
- A kind kick in the butt as needed

What Does a Birth Doula Do With You During Pregnancy?
Doula Tips and Tits with Kaely Harrod
10/19/22 • 14 min
Each Birth Doula works slightly differently, that’s part of the beauty of our work! Some doulas have a variety of options in terms of what is included in a doula package and others have a set standard of what they do with clients. While I can’t guarantee that this episode covers all the variety of how individual doulas work, however it does cover the types that I most often see!
Many birth doula packages include some form of prenatal education and interaction with a pregnant client and their support person/partner. Oftentimes you have virtual access via text, email and calls, as well as one or more prenatal visits. One of the things you can ask doulas when you’re doula interviews is what kind of prenatal interactions you will have with them.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Many doulas include the following prenatal interactions in their packages
- Text/Email support during pregnancy and sometimes a short time during postpartum
- One prenatal to plan for birth and sometimes write a birth plan
- One prenatal for planning comfort measures or practicing things together
- An on-call period that either starts from date of hire or from 36 weeks (that’s a good thing to ask!)
- Not all doula packages are the same, so ask what is included when you’re interviewing doulas!

What Happens With My Hormones after Giving Birth?
Doula Tips and Tits with Kaely Harrod
07/27/22 • 12 min
What Happens With My Hormones after Giving Birth? How will I feel during the postpartum time? I remember asking these questions during pregnancy. These are common questions to have because of the talk about Postpartum Depression and then Postpartum Anxiety. There is a lot happening with your hormones in the postpartum days and weeks and that is one more reason why rest and patience is so important.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Estrogen and progesterone both plummet after birth while oxytocin and prolactin increase to facilitate bonding and lactation
- This drop impacts emotions and you often feel a lot of extremes in the early postpartum weeks
- After about three months or so, your hormones of what your estrogen and your progesterone are back to pre pregnancy levels in most people

How Can I Help Tears Heal After Giving Birth?
Doula Tips and Tits with Kaely Harrod
07/15/22 • 10 min
If a person tears during vaginal delivery then the next question is usually how can I heal? Healing vaginal tears is a spectrum, just like anything in birth and postpartum. This episode dives into some tips about how to help that process proceed.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Ice can be really helpful for the first 24 hrs but should not be used on the vulva and perineum after 48 hrs
- After ice warmth is helpful for healing. Many people use warm baths or sitz baths during this time.
- Avoiding constipation or unnecessary strain or pressure on the pelvic floor aids in healing
- It is normal for it to take anywhere from days to weeks to heal from a tear depending on severity.
