A common question I get asked is if Death Doula work is a viable income, how much can one make, and if this is something one can work in as a career for their life.
The answer is quite simply, YES!
It's true that the main focus of Death Doula work shouldn't be finances, but it is also true that our time, our resources, our education, and more, all cost money. Most Death Doulas I talk to wish they could do this for free, but in life, in the way we have created this world to work, we need to be able to take care of ourselves, feed ourselves, and pay our bills.
It isn't wrong to consider or wonder if this career path can uphold your life financially, and yes it can! We teach you in our course, not JUST the compassionate, holistic, and practical aspects of caregiving, we also teach you how to create a successful Death Doula business, with clients! We have graduates making anywhere from $35,000 - $100,000+ a year.
We cover marketing, taxes, websites, social media presence, packages, services, setting your fees, payments, and so much more! This is a one stop Death Doula College. You can also take courses to hone in and specialize on various facets of Death Doula Care. We also offer business coaching to help you get set up and have clients heading your way!
Your career starts here and grows here!
