Start a Midwifery Business Right

This online, self-paced course includes video lessons, case studies, and practical exercises designed to help you implement boundaries effectively. You'll gain tools to strengthen your self-trust, navigate complex client relationships, and balance personal and professional needs.

You’ll explore what boundaries are (and what they are not), how to set and maintain them, and why they are essential in birthwork. Topics include clinical boundaries, financial boundaries, the “Sacred Yes / Holy No,” recognizing when your limits have been crossed, how to fire a client, and the anatomy of trust. The course also addresses risk, safety, and codependency in birthwork.

This course is for all birthworkers—midwives, doulas, childbirth educators, and lactation consultants—who want to develop a deeper understanding of boundaries in their professional and personal lives. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your current boundaries, refine your communication with clients, or prevent burnout, this course will provide valuable tools and insights.

By understanding and implementing strong boundaries, you’ll improve your client relationships, reduce stress, and create a sustainable, fulfilling birthwork practice. You'll learn to make empowered decisions, protect your energy, and confidently uphold the standards of care that align with your values and well-being.
