With eight years of hands-on experience as a Certified Labor Doula and three years as a dedicated mentor, I’ve been where you are. I know the uncertainties, the questions, and the desire to provide the best possible care for families... and feeling completely lost on how and where to start. That’s why I created The Doula Academy—to help you grow into the confident, capable doula you already are, providing you with the skills and support you need to succeed.
More and more, fresh doulas are asking for shadowing opportunities, and I get why! Your first birth as a doula can feel daunting, and you think that having the chance to observe an experienced doula will prepare you for taking the lead with your own clients. Well, doula, I'm here to tell you that you already have all that you need to support families. You can (and should) take the lead with your clients. And that's exacts what The Doula Academy empowers you to do!
The mission of The Doula Academy is to help grow your abilities and confidence as a doula. That's why instead of you shadowing my work with clients, I'll be shadowing yours! You've worked hard and know your stuff, and I want to empower you to take on clients of your own to help grow your budding business and reputation as a doula.
YOU will access your knowledge to support your clients, and I will be there to support you in the background.
You got this, doula!
