Use this checklist to review your doula agreement

A useful agreement makes the working relationship understandable before services begin. Review these sections with a qualified professional in your jurisdiction, then adapt the language to your practice and services.

People, services, and fees

Identify the parties and exactly what the package includes.

Practice and client names, contact details, and expected due date
Prenatal, labor, birth, postpartum, virtual, and on-call services
Package fee, deposit, installment dates, late payments, and expenses
How added visits, travel, or out-of-scope requests are handled

Availability and boundaries

Explain how support works and where its limits are.

On-call window, response times, contact methods, and urgent situations
Backup doula arrangements and continuity if the primary doula is unavailable
Non-medical scope, client responsibilities, and provider communication
Circumstances that may pause, change, or end services

Changes, records, and signatures

Document what happens when plans change.

Cancellation, refund, rescheduling, and missed-birth terms
Privacy, records, testimonials, photos, and communication consent
State or jurisdiction, dispute process, and severability language
Client acknowledgements, dates, signatures, and completed copy

Set expectations early

A clear service agreement helps clients understand what is included, what is not included, when payment is due, and how communication works.

Stop chasing PDFs

Use a digital workflow so the agreement lives with the client's documents instead of getting buried in email attachments.

Keep records together

Connect agreements with intake, birth plans, invoices, messages, and appointments for a cleaner client record.
