Business for Birthworkers
It’s time to change the narrative of business as a birthworker and to that end we are going to spend eight weeks looking at all things business. This starts with your mindset and your relationship with your business. We then move towards strategy and obstacles. By the end of the eight weeks at least one area of your business will be transformed.
Why Business for Birthworkers?
Birthwork is a vital profession that empowers women and birthing individuals, improves birth outcomes, fosters positive birth experiences, advocates for informed consent, and provides essential postpartum support and mental health care. However, as a birthworker, you may not always recognise your value due to societal misconceptions, lack of professional validation, emotional toll and burnout, financial challenges, and personal doubts or imposter syndrome.
As people working in the birth world, your expertise and compassionate care significantly contributes to the well-being of birthing individuals and their families. By embracing a business mindset and understanding your business, you can amplify your impact and create a lasting positive influence within the birth community.
The work that you do is incredible. It’s life changing stuff. You know the service that you provide.

What Our Graduates Think
"Mars has a way of breaking down your habitual thought process into its component parts (which she does quite sneakily and subtly I think), so as to reveal to you where it is you keep tripping yourself up with some kind of a panic mode or fabrication. The process is held with lots of kindness, and some tough love."
"I'm only two weeks into Business for Birthworkers with Mars and honestly, the transformation I've felt has been phenomenal already. In each of the two sessions there have been multiple points I've felt a significant shift in my mindset and blocks that have held me back for years have melted away. Mars has such a divine gift for this work. I cannot wait to see where I am with myself and business at the end of the 8 weeks."
"The course far exceeded my expectations. Not only did I come away each week with self-coaching tools to put in to practice straight away, there were so many additional wise nuggets, suggestions, advice and ideas that Mars imparted during the sessions. These helped me with parenting, relationships, time management, setting boundaries, and much more."
