Doula Mentoring
for Western Wisconsin & Minnesota
Considering becoming a doula?
With over 150 births across 4 states, plus a decade of varied birth advocacy & consulting experience, I love hearing from new & prospective birthworkers seeking advice on how to get started (or grow)!
Maybe it's questions about training and certifications, or the realities of on-call life. Maybe you're wondering how to find clients & set your fees, how to manage the administrative side, or if it's possible to leave your current job to doula full time.
I am experienced with all aspects of running a fulfilling and successful doula business, and love elevating other doulas to reach their potential WHILE staying true to their authentic values, their families and themselves!
My approach blends practical advice and resources with self reflection and hard-earned wisdom. Mentees also have access to my lending library, which includes many books for both doulas-in-training & deepening continuing education, as well as opportunities for in-person group mentorship with other birthworkers.
You don't have to do this alone!
Mentoring for New and Prospective Doulas in WI & MN
Launching your career as a doula can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be! As someone who left a high powered career, built a successful doula business from scratch, then moved cross country and had to start all over again, I know how it feels to be at square one.
Wherever you are in your journey, I love helping people transform their calling for birthwork into a sustainable career.
Don't spin your wheels Googling or scrolling Facebook for answers aimlessly. Reach out for one-on-one individualized support today!

Investment:
- Initial intake: $100 for up to 90 minutes
- Subsequent Sessions: $80
Location: my office at TruLiving Birth Center (321 13th St. SE, Menomonie WI).
Virtual option: Zoom is also available for people outside my service range or with barriers to travel, but I encourage in-person sessions where possible.
*Fees do not cover time spent outside of sessions answering questions over email. Please book a session if you'd like advice!
Contract: many new doulas are looking for a solid contract to build out, and experienced doulas often need to upgrade theirs to be more professional or better protect their interests. As an attorney with substantial experience drafting contracts for fellow doulas, my own contract is for sale as a template for $150 on a standalone basis (discount to $100 for mentees).
Legal advice: if you are looking for one-on-one advice on a legal issue, such as whether to form an LLC, a client dispute, or how to protect yourself if you hold another license (such as an RN), I offer consults subject to my availability at a rate of $150/hour. Please inquire if interested.
