Why We Mentor…

At Willow Birth Village, we believe in more than just serving families we believe in supporting and growing the people who serve them. Our mentorship program was created to support new and developing doulas who want to grow in skill, confidence, and connection.

When we uplift one doula, we strengthen our whole birth community. Whether you're in your first year of birth work or looking to deepen your practice after a few years, our mentorship is a space for learning, unlearning, and rising together.

3-month Doula Mentorship Program

Our mentorship is personalized and one-on-one, but includes so much more than a few check-ins. When available, this 3-month program offers:

Regular mentorship sessions with a seasoned doula

Our Lunch & Learns

As part of our mentorship, you’ll also get access to our exclusive Lunch & Learn gatherings—monthly sessions where our collective comes together to learn, share, and grow.


Topics may include:

  • Doula business building & sustainability

  • Skill development like acupressure and comfort measures

  • Financial stability as a birth worker

  • Working with diverse family structures

  • Burnout prevention & emotional care

These sessions are hosted by experienced doulas, community partners, and guest teachers who want to pour into you.

3-Day Community-Based Doula Trainings

We also host in-person, 3-day community-based doula trainings for those just beginning their journey into birthwork. These are immersive, high-touch experiences focused on the realities of being a birth doula—centered in love, community, advocacy, and intuitive skill-building.

Dates and registration are announced seasonally. If you're interested, reach out to be notified about the next training.
