Doula Mentorship Starts Here

I remember when I was brand new baby doula straight out of my training seminar and had no idea where to go from there. How do I find clients? How do I make a living and support my family in birth-work? Do I have what it takes? And I wished for someone to talk to about it all, but didn't know who to reach out to. If this sounds like you, then you are in the right spot! 

The Wholly Mama Birth Doula Mentorship Program is a new way to step into birth work with confidence and knowledge so that you can worry less about the business side of things and focus on the root of being a doula; supporting those who are pregnant, birthing, and in their postpartum period, with compassion, experience, and evidence based information. 

​As birth workers, we carry so much for our clients in terms of both triumph and trauma - but we deserve support too!  We deserve to have our people along side us, to support us through those triumphs and traumas that we experience secondhand, to help us debrief after those hard births and to celebrate the ones that run smoothly.
