Hi. It really depends on the doula and how many clients she will get a month. The average cost of a doula is around 500.00 dollers per birth with all the prenatal and postpartum meetings as well. So most doulas make any where from a couple hunderd to a few thousand a year. Most doulas will have volunteer clients and the such so Its not a very high paying job at all. If your planning on making a usful income from it I would look elsewhere. The business cost is almost as much as a doula would make a year for brochures,biz cards,website,supplies for doula bag,prenatal handouts ect. But it is a very rewarding profession. Hope this helps.
