” Show me a successful individual and I’ll show you someone who had real positive influences in his or her life. I don’t care what you do for a living — if you do it well I’m sure there was someone cheering you on or showing the way. A mentor. ”
– Denzel Washington
Nurturing Birth offers mentoring to doulas across the world. The Initial Doula Mentoring Programme is available to anyone who has recently completed a doula preparation course and is embarking on doula work for the first time. Our Experienced Doula Mentoring Programme is available to doulas who have completed an initial mentoring journey and/or who would like additional support, reflection and confidence. Nurturing Birth mentors are experienced doulas gifted in empowering and encouraging others and have been carefully selected and trained by the Nurturing Birth mentoring team. All Nurturing Birth Mentors are mentored themselves and fully follow our vision: “to nurture, inform and empower doulas and families”. Many mentors have lived/worked in other countries and speak different languages. On signing up for mentoring a doula will have access to the full list of mentors available and be supported in choosing the right mentor. Both mentors and mentees receive guidance on how to make the most of the mentoring programme, which is usually conducted by Skype video calls.
