Doula Mentoring

I’ve been part of Amy’s mentorship program for 4 months now and I can’t say enough about it. I had been practicing as a doula for about a year and a half but felt like the organization I trained with didn’t give me the education and preparation I needed - enter, Amy. She has taught me to acknowledge my own biases, shown me how to advocate effectively for clients, given me confidence in teaching, and helped me define my role as a doula more clearly. Amy has a way of challenging you while also holding space and making you feel supported. I feel more prepared than ever to serve clients and be the doula I want and need to be. The group weekends give us a chance to bond with other doulas and talk things through as a group, and our one on one sessions give me more personalized advice and insight.

Simply Loved Doula

When I met Amy just to talk about being a doula I knew I wanted her to be my mentor and asked about the mentorship program. She explained it to me and I knew it would be very beneficial to my career and future as a doula. Once I started the program it blew my mind how much we learned and how important to know what she was explaining to us. She helps us all learn so much. I am thankful to have the mentorship program and her. Can’t wait to see what we learn next.

I feel heard and over all encouraged by Amy. The way our conversations flow from topic to topic feel over all like just one big conversation. It is always kept interesting!! Myself having issues focusing I never feel like it is hard to follow along. Amy makes sure to always break things down if someone isn’t understanding. This makes everything so much easier to keep track and follow along. We have a safe space to talk freely and build each other up. I couldn't ask for a better space to grow as a Doula!

Close to Home Doula

I can’t thank Amy enough for welcoming me into the world of doula care and practices. Not only has she opened her home to us and shared her knowledge and experiences, she’s given us the tools and confidence to nurture and enhance our own strengths and abilities. Amy has taken on many titles within our community, most notably embracing the role of Auntie; empowering others with advocacy and leadership. Amy’s passion for helping others and guiding them through the process of childbirth and everything before and after, shows through with every client. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor, thank you Amy!

Beyond the realm of professional mentorship, she has effortlessly woven a tapestry of warmth and camaraderie, making me feel like a part of her own family. Her nurturing spirit and profound expertise have not only enhanced my doula practice but also enriched my life in ways I could have never imagined.

Amy has a unique gift for fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose, creating a bond that transcends professional boundaries and mirrors the depth of familial love.

Her presence in my life is a testament to the profound impact a mentor can have, not just in professional development but also in cultivating a sense of kinship and belonging that lasts a lifetime. I am incredibly fortunate to have Amy as my mentor, friend, and honorary family member, enriching my journey as a doula and beyond.
