​You're thinking about becoming a postpartum doula...OR
You've completed your postpartum doula training...AND
You were told, “You’re a postpartum doula.”
And now what?
​
If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or underprepared—you’re not alone.
Most postpartum doulas feel this way after training.
​
You might be asking yourself:
-
How do I get my first client?
-
What if I don’t know the answer to something?
-
How do I explain my services clearly during the client interview process?
-
Will I even get hired if I'm a new doula?
-
What boundaries should I be setting?
-
Am I actually ready to do this work?
-
What about contracts and insurance?
-
What should I charge to clients?
-
Do I need register my business?
-
How do I market my services?
-
Can I actually make enough money as a postpartum doula?
Most doulas don’t quit because they lack passion.
They quit because they lack support.
​
​If you’re feeling excited and overwhelmed at the same time, you’re not behind.
That's exactly how most new postpartum doulas feel after training (or right before!).

Let's be clear, YOU can do this!
Training and/or Certification do not necessarily equal confidence AND you've got it in you.
You just need a guide. Training is a great start. Mentorship is the perfect next step.
Introducing the Postpartum Doula Mentorship
This mentorship is for newly (or about to be) trained doulas who want guidance, not guesswork.
​
This is not another certification.
This is not information overload.
​
It’s real-world guidance from someone who has already walked this path.
​
*Not completed a training yet? We can talk about that too!

This Mentorship is for you if:
You’ve finished training (or are planning to take a training) and want to feel really ready
You want confidence, clarity, and a plan
You believe great doulas deserve great support

Experience optional.
Support essential.
What you’ll gain inside the mentorship:
-
Clarity on what to do after training / certification
-
​Step by step guidance to set your business up correctly
-
Simple systems that hold the logistics, so you can hold the families
-
Confidence in real postpartum homes
-
Language for client conversations and boundaries
-
Support for when situations feel unclear or heavy
-
