Meet Anna

Anna Rodney

Why agencies stall

Most agency owners hit the same walls. This session names them — and shows the way through.

You’re the bottleneck — nothing happens unless you touch it.

Growth has flatlined and you can’t tell what’s actually holding it back.

Hiring and keeping great doulas feels like a constant scramble.

You’re too busy to step away — a real vacation feels impossible.

What to expect

Who is this for?

Doula agency owners — and doulas preparing to build an agency — who want to grow sustainably without burning out.

Is there an offer?

Yes — Anna shares her 5-week Agency Owner Mentorship, with a limited-time code WEBINAR100 for $100 off (24 hours only). No obligation; the webinar itself is packed with value.

Is this really from someone who’s done it?

Yes. Anna built Chicago Family Doulas into the largest doula agency in the country and has trained 1,500+ doulas — this is operational, first-hand experience.
