Daisy birthing

[TheWhoOfWhoville]

Hi, just wondered if anyone works as a daisy birthing teacher or has any insight? I'm trying to work out how financially viable this is. The amount you can charge per class seems pretty good, but I'm wondering how many classes you can reasonably run per week in the licensed area and how many people you get signing up per class? Any other comments on daisy birthing welcome too, Thanks

Hi, I'm a teacher with The Daisy Foundation. I run birthing and baby classes. The amount of classes you run is completely dependent on how much time and work you want to put in. There are teachers who continue to work full-time and choose to run 1 birthing class a week but there are those who are running 15+ classes of birth and baby and have taken on their own employees to help. It also depends how much time and effort you put in to promote the classes. Getting up and running can be tough but the great thing about Daisy is the classes are amazing so once you get mums into class they usually stay for multiple terms of birthing and then follow on with baby. They rave about classes to their friends and family and you soon find most of your new clients come from recommendation.
Hope that helps!

Thanks Ali, that's really helpful. I think I'm going to take the plunge, very scared but excited!

Hi sorry new here but thought id reply.

I have just taken the plunge and paid deposit for daisy training. As im due my baby in september im not training until jan in st albans and that gives me time to save rest of the money.

I had a tough time deciding between daisy yoga bellies and aquabellies but since they were too much money i went for this and i hope i can make a steady good enough incone from it each and every month

Ah they mentioned there was a new January date in St. Albans yesterday - good luck with it, I hope it goes well! I've chosen areas and have my contract for training in September, but am having a major wobble that the area isn't strong enough, there are a lot of teachers around this area and the postcodes left are quite economically deprived. Also having sudden self doubt as to whether I'd be any good at it, so haven't signed the contract yet. Not sure if these are normal wobbles or a sign that this isn't really for me!
