20 Years as a Doula: What Actually Matters

After 20 years as a doula, I’ve learned that being good at this work isn’t just about techniques—it’s about sustainability, discernment, and knowing what truly matters. In this video, I share the biggest lessons I’ve learned from two decades of supporting families through labor and birth. From burnout and boundaries, to partner support, birth culture, professionalism, and longevity in doula work, this is an honest look at what it really takes to stay in this career long-term. ⭐PARTNER SUPPORT: https://form.typeform.com/to/tSKA3I ⭐ I'm Alice Turner, doula and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator and I work with people from pregnancy through the early newborn time.
