Mentoring

Whether you’re fresh from training or an experienced doula seeking clarity, I offer tailored mentoring to help you feel confident, grounded, and aligned in your work.

We can explore:

  • Setting up and structuring your business

  • Clarifying your client offerings and pricing

  • Marketing that feels authentic

  • Navigating challenging birth experiences

  • Building your confidence as a birthkeeper

I have mentored birthworkers from courses including Red Tent Doulas, Abuela Doula, Side by Side Doula,  Mamas Perinatal Ally and other courses. 

If you are a newly qualified birthkeeper, congratulations on answering the call. Perhaps you’ve been holding space for people for a while now and would like a mentor to hold space for you. I would be delighted to support you on this journey.

I offer ad-hoc one-off sessions and a mentoring programme.  The programme consists of different components that can complement wherever you may be on your journey. No matter where you are on your journey or in the world I’m here to hold space for you, just as you hold space for others.

“Thando has been a guiding light in my journey as a doula. From the very beginning, she welcomed my questions with openness, clarity, and deep wisdom. Her mentorship has not only given me practical knowledge and resources but also the confidence to trust my own intuition and strengths—especially as a doula from the global majority. Thando’s calm, steady presence and her unwavering support have helped me overcome imposter syndrome and grow into my role with confidence. I’m so grateful for her guidance and encouragement every step of the way.”
