Have you finished your doula training and don’t know where to go from here?

Being a doula is an extremely rewarding career, but getting started can be overwhelming. Doula mentorship can provide guidance and support so that you can ace your consults, getting more clients, and more confidence. Looking for help supporting your clients? Or perhaps you’re having challenges writing contracts and forms? Look no further than doula mentorship. What are you waiting for?

Your birth doula mentorship includes:

  • Monthly one-on-one mentorship sessions for 8 months. 4 will take place virtually, and 4 will be in person when available.

  • On-call support 24/7 for questions and guidance when your clients are in labour. Plus guidance leading up to the birth to help you with prenatal visits and supporting your clients.

  • Post-birth check in after each birth you attend to review what you learned, what you’d change, how you feel about the experience, and how you’ve grown.

  • Free access to my google drive with many resources and information.

  • Free attendance in childbirth education group class. This may satisfy a necessary component with your doula training. Currently offered online.

  • Guidance with creating contracts, intake forms, and confidentiality agreements.

  • Learn helpful skills including active listening and checking biases.

  • Invitation to regular doula meetings where we learn additional skills, discuss challenges, and support one another. Currently held on Zoom.

PLUS:

  • Potential of using me for in-person support or back-up during births (if you are local; subject to availability and an additional fee) and/or assistance in finding an alternative backup.

  • Potential for client referrals from me (not guaranteed)

  • Option of having me join for client consults to help you get hired!

  • Option of having me join / lead prenatal visits for up to 3 of your clients (if you are local; subject to mutually agreed upon availability; it is your responsibility to discuss with clients)

  • Get added to the local doula registry in Peterborough area, if you’re local.

  • Letter of completion/recommendation which may satisfy a training requirement.
