Andrea shares how she shifted from offering basic care to providing a more holistic set of services, including cooking, bodywork, and Ayurvedic mother care. She emphasizes that her business, Upon Arrival Doula, grew significantly by turning conversations into clients through authentic community engagement, such as participating in local mom groups and early childhood festivals. Andrea advises other aspiring doulas to leverage their unique strengths and focus on building genuine connections to grow their businesses organically.
