$67.00 $77.00

A professional, customizable client agreement system designed specifically for birth doulas.

You know your doula business deserves a professional contract. But creating one from scratch can be overwhelming.

What should I include? What about payment plans? How do I handle travel, communication, backup support, cancellations, or a change in birth plans?

And once you've finally written it all out, there's the formatting, the editing, the policies you may have forgotten, and the question of whether you've actually covered everything you need.

Stop piecing together your contract from old templates, Facebook groups, and Google searches.

Start with a professional foundation and make it yours.

The Birth Doula Contract System gives you a professionally structured starting point and the tools you need to build a client agreement that reflects your services, your pricing, your boundaries, and the way you practice.

✨Editable Canva Contract Template✨

Prefer Canva?

You'll also receive a professionally designed Canva version of the contract so you can customize the content and create a polished client-facing agreement that feels consistent with your brand.

Use whichever format works best for your workflow, Google Docs or Canva.

✨Clause Library✨

Not every doula needs the same policies.

The included Clause Library gives you additional contract language you can choose from based on your services and business model.

Each clause includes:

Best For: guidance on the types of practices or situations the clause may be useful for.

Ready-to-Use Language: copy and paste the clause directly into your contract, then customize it to your practice.

The library includes additional language for situations such as travel, extended labor, cesarean support, home birth, communication boundaries, and more.

Choose what applies, remove what doesn't. Make it yours!

✨Setup & Customization Guide✨

You won't be left wondering what to do with a 20+ page contract.

The included guide walks you through the process from beginning to end, including:

How to use the color-coding system
What needs to be customized
What should be deleted
How to choose your payment structure
How to choose your communication structure
How to use the Clause Library
Best practices for customizing your agreement
Important legal considerations
What to review before sending your contract to a client

✨Flexible Payment Structure Options✨

Your business doesn't have to fit someone else's payment model.

Choose the structure that works for your practice, including:

Retainer + Balance

Collect a retainer when the contract is signed and the remaining balance according to your payment terms.

Pay in Full

Collect the full package fee when the agreement is signed.

Payment Plan

Divide your package fee into scheduled payments that work for your business.

You'll select the structure that fits your practice and remove the others from your final contract.

✨Communication Structure Options✨

Set expectations around client communication from the beginning.

Choose from options including:

Structured Communication

Clearly define your communication methods, business hours, and expected response times.

Unlimited Call & Text

Include unlimited phone and text communication as part of your package while establishing reasonable expectations around availability and response times.

✨Built-In Customization System✨

The contract uses a simple color-coding system to make customization easier:

🟡 YELLOW = EDIT / ADD YOUR INFORMATION

These are the areas you'll need to customize for your business.

🔴 RED = DELETE

These are instructions, unused options, or content that should be removed from your final client-facing agreement.

Instead of searching through the contract trying to figure out what needs your attention, the template guides you through it.

✨Final Review Checklists✨

Before your contract goes to a client, use the included checklists to review:

Business information
Services
Pricing
Payment structure
Communication policies
Additional fees
Optional clauses
Placeholders and highlighted text
Signature information
Final formatting
Legal review considerations

Because the last thing you want is to send a client a contract with “[INSERT YOUR BUSINESS NAME HERE]” still sitting in it!

✨ BONUS: Simple Logo Creation Resource✨

Don't have a logo yet?

We've included a bonus resource to help you create a simple, professional logo for your doula business so you can begin building a cohesive brand alongside your new client agreement.

Your contract should look and feel like your business, even if you're still building your brand.

This is for you if...

You're a new doula who wants to establish professional systems from the beginning.

You're an experienced doula whose current contract needs an update or a more comprehensive structure.

You've been using a basic contract and know it's time to create something more intentional.

You've been meaning to create a contract but keep putting it off because you don't know where to start.

You want flexibility instead of a one-size-fits-all agreement.

You want your client experience to feel professional from the very first step.

Why a Contract Matters

Your contract isn't just paperwork.

It's where you and your client establish a shared understanding of:

What you provide.
What they can expect.
What you charge and when.
How communication works.
Where your boundaries are.
And what happens when things don't go according to plan.

A thoughtful contract can help reduce confusion, establish clearer expectations, and create a more professional foundation for your client relationship.

You spend so much time caring for your clients. Your business deserves that same level of intention.

Make it Yours!

The Birth Doula Contract System is intentionally customizable.

Your pricing may be different from another doula's. Your availability may look different. Your communication boundaries may be different. Your services, policies, and business structure are uniquely yours.

That's why we don't want you copying someone else's contract and calling it your own.

We've done the heavy lifting so you can spend your time making thoughtful decisions about what actually works for your business.
