Podcast, and founder of Birth, Baby! Academy, about using authentic networking to grow a doula business doula without relying heavily on social media or paid ads. Ciarra explains that the best early referrals come from other perinatal professionals such as chiropractors, pelvic floor PTs, therapists, photographers, and birth centers, and emphasizes approaching conversations with curiosity and community benefit rather than pitching. She shares examples of networking leading to major opportunities, including free event space for a doula training and ongoing free class space through a chiropractor partnership. They discuss vetting referral partners, hosting group networking nights, finding warm leads via mom groups, and attending larger mixers.
