Get trained and certified as a doula, or accelerate your business and your advocacy, through this leading doula mentorship.

Do you feel like everyone else has a map that you don’t have?
Would you rather catch a placenta with your bare hands than learn a CRM? (Do you know what SROM is but not what a CRM is)?
Are you often sacrificing your own needs and the needs of your loved ones, in order to serve your clients?
Do you feel like you have to choose between being a good person and making good money?
Do you often wonder if it has to be this hard?

It connects your clients to the support they need. It connects your community to resources. It connects YOU to your future.

Like a bridge, your business needs careful design so it can support the heavy load of birth work with ease, and extend your contribution far beyond your years.
The IBP Business Intensive will equip you with:

Clarity on the best path forward for your birth business

Tools and step-by-steps to build a profitable and sustainable practice

Strategic support and accountability as you embrace challenges and celebrate wins.

Confidence to live by your values even while you grow your income

“IBP has helped me discover the golden era of my doula career! I’ve made huge strides in my business, my family life is stable and supported, and I feel so much love for this work that I didn’t realize was fading from my days as a new doula. I’m deeply grateful for Meredith and Alicia and my cohort.”
Bee Johnson
This is not another on-demand self-paced online training.
For five weeks, you’ll have a handful of serious strategists in your back pocket.

Five Private 1-1 Strategy Sessions with Meredith, Alicia, or a specialized coach of your choice. Real support and accountability.

Five Video Modules dripped to you every week, in bite-sized pieces that you can refer to again and again.

100-page Strategic Playbook full of our templates, systems, and strategies—laid out in a way you can actually implement them.

Five group calls with your cohort of intentional birth pros who—like you—want to make their highest possible contribution to their community and to their future.

Community where you can tap into additional live weekly learning (guest master classes, birth trainings, peer reviews) and archived classes, and ask your questions in our forum of smart, kind professionals.

What to expect? We’re here to make a real difference! Plan on 5-6 hours per week of class and homework time.

OR TWO PAYMENTS OF $750
We've done this before and we've seen the results: doulas who were once adrift are now competent business owners, making real money, serving the kinds of clients that fuel their passion.
Whatever your business needs right now, we're here for it: we'll build your business model with you, organize your financials, brainstorm revenue streams and marketing, and help you systematize. In the words of doula Audrey, "IBP has been a comprehensive kick that my doula business needed in order to go forward."
Or as Krissie said, "Before I participated in IBP, I had a lot of goals but didn't know how to get there, or I set up costly roadblocks in my mind. Now I have ways of reaching goals and getting s#!% done!!"
MOST PARTICIPANTS EARN BACK THEIR TUITION WITHIN 2-3 MONTHS
Our investment in you is no joke! We meet with you every week personally during the first four months of the Accelerator (then monthly after that for the rest of the year). We talk about you in between. We strategize at your side, break down your
challenges into manageable action, offer accountability, and celebrate your wins!
Business is an afterthought in most doula trainings. Here, business is where we start. Why? Because no matter how skilled they are, burned out and starving doulas can't make their highest contribution to their communities.
Our boots are on the ground. We are doulas, and we are business owners. We know your work from the inside out, and are ready to help you find your joy.













Know exactly where you are, and where you want to go.
Understand your value, and know what to charge based on real math.
Have clarity about which clients you are best equipped to serve, and who you want to spend most of your energy and time with.
Identify your roadblocks, bottlenecks, and backlogs and get things flowing again.
Fortify your website for real client attraction.
Own new systems for knock-out interviews, for client management, for effective marketing and networking, and for standing out from the crowd.
Identify your unique specialty (you’ve got one) and exactly how to sell it.
Get clear on how to manage your business’s money.
Create a plan for “giving back” that fills your soul and answers real needs without compromising your own financial security.
Learn how to automate and outsource the tasks that drain you, and gain back your time.
Complete a project of your choice that will bridge you toward higher income, longer impact, and greater peace in your work. (We’ll break your project down into manageable action, provide resources, offer accountability and strategy, and cheer you on toward your highest potential!)
Have new connections with highly intentional women, who share your mission, and who care about your success.

Every Monday Oct 12 - Nov 9 at 1:00pm ET: Live group call together. This is a magic hour for integration of the week’s materials!
Between Oct 5 - Nov 10: Join us for all of our (optional) live IB community meetups on business and birth. Also, take advantage of our community archive! This includes guest masterclasses on financial management, investing, pricing, money mindset, business models, and more!
Because running a birth business is like giving birth. It’s gritty, euphoric, raw, and rewarding—and you deserve people at your side who will roll up their sleeves for you.

Intentional Birth Pro was quite literally the best money I’ve ever spent. It was deeply transformative on a personal and business level. I knew I loved birth work, and I knew I was nearing burn out. I am now excited to continue in this work, and have the confidence that I can do so sustainably, with a community of incredible birth workers cheering me on.

This is where we integrate what you are learning with a personal eye on your business, your doula practice, and your life. We'll discover your challenges, goals, fears, knowledge gaps, and strengths, and strategize alongside you for success. We'll offer advice, share stories, provide resources, and help you ask good questions. We'll provide accountability aligned with your commitments. In short, we'll doula you! For the first four months of the Accelerator, you will have the option of booking one session per week with Meredith, Alicia, or one of our IBP mentors (or feel free to rotate!).
A resounding yes! Our mission is to help experienced doulas stay in this work long-term. We’ll show you how to create sustainability and joy in your business— whether that means reassessing your rates and marketing, scaling up or down, refining your advocacy, or reconnecting with your purpose. We’re here to help you stay in the profession, grow, and thrive.
Absolutely! Many brand-new doulas have joined our program, and we’re always thrilled when they do. Why? Because we know they’re getting a powerful, aligned start. We teach you everything we wish our doula trainings had covered—business foundations, birth physiology, effective advocacy, and the confidence to lead your clients with honesty and heart.
Yes! Please select your preferred plan at checkout. We want this to feel accessible and doable for you. And here’s the exciting part—many of our doulas earn back their full investment with just one client.
Yes! And the Accelerator gets you 90% there! To complete certification you will need to attend 6 guest masterclasses and 6 peer reviews, along with a few other requirements. Please see our certification guide here. There are no additional fees to certify or to maintain certification.
Absolutely. Our model is a “Physiology First” model, which means that we prioritize the normal physiologic processes of the body --- hormones, biomechanics, nervous system, and more --- even in the hospital, and even when medical tools are in use. We will also show you how to prepare your clients well for unmedicated birth, and how to support their informed decision-making process in a revolutionary way.
We believe in your calling to serve your community, to support women, and to witness and protect humanity’s daily rebirth. Your work is the most important in the world, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about helping you find your path toward security, longevity, and fulfillment. We’re right behind you.
