Mentoring
What is a DD Companion?
A Developing Doulas Companion is a Doula who has been selected for their excellent listening skills and and range of experiences with supporting families throughout many different maternity journeys through the birth and postnatal periods.
A companion will support a fellow doula through the mentoring process of learning and reflection, and onto acknowledgment.
About Me
As a passionate and dedicated doula, I am committed to supporting new doulas through the Developing Doulas Companionship Programme. I completed my training with Developing Doulas in 2019, and since then, I have been privileged to support numerous families through their unique journeys.
My approach to companionship is rooted in the principles of the Developing Doulas community, emphasising collaboration, compassion, and personal growth. I believe in walking alongside you as you develop your own style of doulaing, offering a safe space for reflection and discussion. My experience includes supporting a diverse range of families, and I am committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all doulas.
My Fees
Primary companionship monthly fee: £45 per month
(Reduced to £35 per month after acknowledgment if you wish to continue)
This monthly fee includes all email & WhatsApp support and short phone calls.
Each client debrief (one per client, approx 1-2hour video call) will be charged at £45, with a maximum of 5 (for birth and postnatal respectively).
Recognition interviews will take place in person (if geographically possible) and will be charged at £60 each. The monthly fee also includes access to my online Companion's Community group.
The total fee for recognition will be capped at £285 for either birth or postnatal (or £570 for both), this is in addition to the monthly fee which can be paused at any time if you have a gap between clients.
My Specialisms
I'm very happy to work with Doulas as a primary companion or one off (at £25/hr) for either Birth or Postnatal.
I have a particular interest in antenatal education, Biomechanics for birth and diversifying your Doulas business into online courses and other products.
I am trained in breastfeeding peer support/Mindful Breastfeeding, three step rewind, Biomechanics for birth, and Hypnobirthing. I also have my own Birth Prep & Hypnobirthing course and offer facilitator training (discounted for DD's & mentees)
What happens next?
If you have had a little nosey around my website and maybe my socials too and you feel that I may be the Doula for you then let’s chat... ❤️
As with any Doula relationship it is important that we both feel a connection. So as a starting place let’s book a video call and find out a bit more from one-another and what it is that you are look for from your Mentor/Companion.
