Wow, I think I'm ready with two local groups

The last month was all about recruiting students to my upcoming birth doula training. One thing I have learned from the process is that you can no longer be a self employed or a small business and just focus on the service you are offering the world. Whether it is a service like mentoring, coaching, therapy or day-care, or you are selling products, the world has changed, and it is all about SEO- Search Engine Optimization. If Google search engine can not find me – I do not exist! Now imagine me - being a Taurus, big mama, gave birth three times vaginally and naturally, a birth doula, birth doula mentor, with preference for intimacy and eye-contact and lots of touch, having to learn all about attracting potential students via cyber space, and spending hours on key words density, tags, link building, site maps, duplicate content, free press releases, social networks and authority websites….OMG. I was so challenged. However, you can find me now much easier (You and Google spiders :)). By reading my blog right now you are taking part of this effort of telling the world about me and my extensive and amazing birth doula training. So thank you! A big Thank you is sent to the universe for bringing to my life my new friend and doula student Esther, who was so committed and patient in teaching me all the above, and coached me for becoming active, do the work and get results. I love you Esther!

The current results are that my website does come in a more visible and practical place when you search for “Birth doula training in San Jose/San Francisco Bay Area”, or “Becoming a doula”. The more exciting results are that there are amazing 8 students signed for my training, and there is still a month ahead of us, so I am hoping for 1 or 2 more. On my website there are already program schedules for two groups, isn’t it great! (If you are considering joining my training, I am recruiting now for group B). I am assuming this is also thanks to the raving testimonials my past students wrote me in different places, which might be the result of my investment and dedication to provide the most through birth doula training anybody could think of.

This year training has evolved so much. I have prepared more hand outs, I have developed information sheet of how to use the supervisions, and there are more coaching exercises included. The most exciting news is that the Birth doula training at Mama Center is now officially the only training in the USA with close supervision in L&D, as this year students will take shifts joining the midwives for their births. I can't wait to begin! How about you?
