Doula Business Consulting


Randy Patterson has successfully consulted for more than 600 birth workers since 2009 and believes first-hand in the power of one-on-one support.

As your business consultant, Randy works with you on business strategy, organization, and strategic planning. She introduces you to the skills and knowledge necessary in order for you to thrive. Randy will offer advice, create success formulas specific to your business and brainstorm with you to produce the results you seek.

If you came to birth work because you were passionate about supporting families, but were blindsided by the business side of things, you’ve come to the right place.

You are not the first overwhelmed birth worker seeking Randy’s support to enhance your business acumen, and you will not be the last!

Through one-on-one private business consulting by video conference, Randy will bring your focus to topics that will improve your business’ reach and elevate you quickly to success.

Randy has personally done what you’re trying to do, and she advises others on a daily basis to do the same.

Stop trying to reinvent the wheel and get started today!
