What is a Mentored Doula?
I currently have a Birth Mentor (An experienced recognised Doula registered with Doula UK) who is there to support and guide me through my time of becoming a Recognised Doula. (Also known as Accreditation) Although it is not a necessity to become ‘Recognised’ to work as a Doula I feel I want to give the best support to all of the families I work with and to be the best Doula I can possibly be for you.
Having a mentor to check in with and debrief after each birth client will enable me to reflect and learn from each experience until my Mentor believes I no longer need such support.
Benefits to hiring a Mentored Doula:
- 2 for the price of 1! Through me you will gain the knowledge and expertise of my experienced recognised Doula Mentor.
- A mentored Doula is often cheaper than a recognised Doula
- I will only be taking on one new birth client at a time so you can rest assured as soon as I receive your call and have arranged child care I will be with you at your chosen birthing place as soon as possible.
