Eeeeep, welcome!
I am so excited that you are keen to join the Radiant Birth Family. You'll get a whole bunch of emails from me, so if anything doesn't make sense just text or email me :)
While we all care for our clients 1:1, we are all here to support each other in our work as doulas. We hope to be a place where birthing folk can arrive and receive continuity of care during their sacred rite of passage through to postpartum and be held by our collective as a whole.
We recognise that each mother is unique, and so each doula brings their unique offerings; for you that means in the online space mostly which is so valuable. I really value everyone's feedback and input always; so if you have an idea, feedback or questions always reach out. We work together as a village. Because we need a village too.
Step 1 | Jump in to the Whatsapp community and meet everyone
Use this link to join: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LWr9N0wMYIGB8pL8ieoMTS
When you do join the chat, please introduce yourself and I will also have pre-empted that you will be joining too!
You can read about everyone else here and we usually share a little of our stories, our star sign (you know the important sh*t), how we became a doula, other things we do or have done, and sharing about your family if you like too!
Step 2 | Pay the annual membership fee
An annual collective fee of $300 paid via the link below
Be comfy with the referral pathway fees:
All bookings through RB via chat booked, email connection or website form submitted will incur a cost of $240 or 10% of services engaged by the client, whichever is lower, this can be collected over a number of invoices until the maximum of $240 is reached.
Connections made with the other collective members do not incur any referral fees, I love that if you get enquiries that you can share these with one another; if you want them to have access to the community then I can set them up for $120, which you can add to your package or they can sign up directly :)
Whilst the client is yours after the initial steps of the process, you are coming under RB's recommendation, so I trust you’ll continue your services with care and professionalism. You’ll be operating as a sole trader.
The flow of client connections
You’ll have a unique bio that encapsulates who you are and what you offer. You can see the doula decks here.
On your page there is a booking link directly with you for a connection zoom/call/google meets, do you have access to this?
Sometimes enquiries come through the contact page in which case I will email connect you or encourage them to book a time to chat.
If the booking lands - the job is then in your hands.
On my end, I set them up with community access.
There is no minimum or maximum requirement for bookings, we can talk about your individual availability and your goals for birth/postpartum support.
Once you pay the you will then get access to the Collective Homepage where you can access everything that you need.
Step 3 | Sign the agreement here
Step 4 | Online Chat Set Up
Follow these instructions to set up your zoom scheduling for connection calls and other online services, you will need a paid zoom account for anything except the connection calls as these are under 40 minutes. or you can choose to use Google Meets.
Step 5 | Set up your doula deck page
I will pop you up on the doula decks, to do this I need:
About you - your biggest strengths as a doula and what you’d like to focus on (belly binding/ ritual/ birth/food/ birth education etc be specific please)
Your training and experience
Packages and offerings, cost etc
Areas that you offer support in
Testimonials
High res images that I can share on the website, your favourite that will be your bio pic needs to be 4:5 aspect ratio - Radiant has a warm vintage-esque aesthetic so please check socials and site for guidance. The more images you have the more I can promote on socials.
