Hi im Yusyaidah from singapore! Had 4 extraordinary birth, in a taxi , 2 home births & unassisted hospital birth. Birth is my passion & Im excited to be here! Would love to do the right thing from the start n not second guessing myself! Looking forward to build a sustainable passion & dream!

Update... So my client ended up choosing another doula but he was courteous enough to let me know that that's what he was doing. So it's still a win. I learned lots and I'll keep moving forward

Hi everyone! I’m currently in the process of building out my business, Under the Same Sky, and I’m hitting the 'tech phase' of website and domain setup. ​I’d love to hear from those of you who have already set up your own sites. If you don't mind sharing, I have a few questions: ​Platform Choice: Did you go the DIY route (Squarespace, Wix, etc.) or hire a designer? How did that decision impact your business early on? ​Domain/Email: Did you run into any major 'gotchas' when setting up your professional domain or email? (I’m currently looking at Google Workspace integration). ​Reflections: If you could go back to the beginning, is there anything you would have done differently when setting up your online 'home'? ​Integration: Any 'must-have' tools or integrations (like booking calendars or intake forms) that you wish you had implemented on day one? ​I’m aiming for a clean, professional, and accessible site, and I’d so appreciate any wisdom or 'lessons learned' you’re willing to pass along. Thanks so much!

Hi! I currently require a retainer fee when the contract is signed and then ask for the remaining balance of my doula fee to be paid by 38 weeks. This is still a little awkward for me. I have a client who forgot to pay the remaining balance, and I’m not sure how to word a message to remind her. Curious to hear how other doulas handle payments!
