End of Life Doula Mentoring
Small Group Sessions
End-of-life doula mentoring is a valuable resource for any doula who is just beginning or already on their way, and seeking to improve, continue learning, and/or expand their offerings. It can be difficult to take the next step after training, so we are here to help you develop your ideas, get motivated, and find your niche in your community. The world needs you; let us help you get going today!
Our mentoring is also for folks who desire to embody this wisdom and calling in their daily lives, whether it is working as a doula or being of service in your relationships and community. It is not a requirement to have a doula business or to have completed our training to join and benefit from mentoring. These sessions are about elevating us all to be leaders in this space, in the way we are each uniquely meant to be.
Group Mentoring consists of four (4) sessions with two facilitators and up to four participants. These groups are kept small to provide personalized support for each participant!
The program is designed to mentor participants as they start or continue their journey of working as an EOL doula or being an advocate for death-positive spaces and conversations.
