Doula Mentoring
Support, guidance and encouragement for doulas at any stage of their journey
Being a doula is one of the most rewarding and life changing jobs in the world, BUT it can also feel so overwhelming at times. I went from starting at zero, not giving birth before myself or having any experience seeing birth, to scaling a business that crossed £100k within 2 years. I’ve been through all the challenges, worked my ass off and managed to now have a thriving business that allows me to do what I love AND have freedom - exactly what we go into self-employed work for!
Whether you're newly trained doula and preparing for your first clients, trying to grow your business, navigating a challenging situation, or simply looking for someone who understands the realities of birth work, mentoring can provide a space to reflect, learn, vent, and grow into the amazing doula you know you are.
My mentoring sessions are designed to offer practical guidance, honest conversation and encouragement, helping you build confidence in yourself, your work and your business.
Why I Mentor
After leaving a long corporate career as an Executive Assistant and a life-changing period of travel and study (including yoga and ayurveda training in India, massage training in Bali, and training to become a counsellor), I decided I wanted to work for myself and combine all my passions into a career where I really felt I was making a difference in the world.
I began my doula career after training with Nurturing Birth in 2023 and going on to train as a hypnobirthing teacher shortly after, and three years later have created an amazing job that I absolutely LOVE and works for me and my life. Since training I’ve supported families across London and beyond, attending births in hospitals, birth centres, and homes, and nourishing new mothers with loving postpartum care (all while continuing my travel adventures!).
Within the birth-work space I’m especially interested in nutrition, cultural practices, the psychology of birth and early childhood development, antenatal education, natural/holistic medicine and anything to do with how magical the body and mind are!
Throughout my first years as a doula, I leant on the support of mentors, colleagues and friends and know how important it is to have trustworthy and safe people around you who really GET the things you’re going through. Setting up a heart-led business yourself and supporting women through some of the most intense & magical days of their life can be both incredibly rewarding and hard work! Learning how to get clients, create your own brand, network, and cope with the challenges the medical system brings as a doula mean you really need that team walking alongside you. THAT’S what a mentor is truly for, walking alongside you every step of the way.
I’m especially passionate about supporting new doulas who want to create balance and freedom in their lives, alongside creating a truly sustainable business. My mentoring style is open, encouraging, and practical, with space to explore both the emotional side of birth work and the practicalities of building a truly profitable business that fits around your lifestyle.
I believe doula work should enhance your life, not overwhelm it. I’d love to walk alongside you as you find your unique rhythm and confidence on this journey.
