Birth work is a meaningful and fulfilling calling but how you practice matters. We know that irregular hours, emotional exhaustion, and insufficient support are contributing factors to burnout in the profession.

Did you know that when you are self employed you keep only about 50% of what you make on average? Yes, you read that right! By the time you pay the taxes (you get taxed twice as a sole proprietor) and overhead, not to mention all of those hours spent in meetings with prospective clients, you end up keeping only 50% of your income. We’ve been there and are here to tell you that there is another way to do this work more sustainably both physically and financially.

At Birth Realm we are pushing the envelope on what it means to support postpartum families. We are committed to helping you build a sustainable career by rooting you in a community of like-minded practitioners who value rest, healing, and support for our doulas as well as the families we serve.

We are not a contracting service; instead we are a company where everyone is an employee and receives the benefits of that position. This means coverage for when you are sick, the availability to take time off, collaboration with a team of experienced birth workers, and so much more. We have a passionate, supportive and fun team culture – come join us!
