Frequently Ask Questions
The Sierra Doula Academy Mentoring Program is designed for both birth and postpartum doulas who are looking for personalized guidance, encouragement, and practical support as they grow their careers.
Whether you're just beginning your journey or have been practicing for years, mentoring can help you gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward with greater intention.
This program is ideal for:
- New birth and postpartum doulas who want support launching their practice, finding clients, and building a strong professional foundation.
- Experienced doulas who are ready to strengthen their business, refine their services, improve marketing and systems, or navigate new challenges with the guidance of an experienced mentor.
- Doulas seeking ongoing professional growth, accountability, or a trusted sounding board as they continue developing their skills and business.
Guidance, professional consultation, encouragement, or simply a trusted mentor and coach to help you think through your next steps, mentoring sessions are tailored to your individual needs.
Together, we build not just a successful practice, but one that supports the life you want to create.
Your Mentor/Coach: With more than 40 years in birth work, over 30 years as a DONA-approved trainer, and a background in professional life coaching, Janine Maitri offers practical guidance, thoughtful coaching, and decades of real-world experience to help doulas build meaningful, sustainable careers that support both their clients and themselves.
Yes. Participants should have completed a birth doula or postpartum doula training program before beginning mentoring or coaching. You do not need to have trained at Sierra Doula Academy—doulas from all training organizations are welcome.
Whether you're seeking practical business guidance, accountability, support navigating challenges, or simply a trusted sounding board, coaching is personalized to your individual goals, experience, and stage of practice. Together, we'll build not just a successful practice, but one that supports the life you want to create.
Every doula's journey is different, so we offer a variety of mentoring and coaching options to meet your individual needs. Whether you're looking for a few focused sessions to work through specific questions or ongoing support over several months, there's a package designed to fit your goals.
Choose from several coaching options, ranging from four-hour intensives to six months of ongoing mentorship and support.
Sessions are available remotely via Zoom, phone, and email. Longer-term coaching typically includes a thoughtful combination of these, providing support when you need it most.
If you don't see a package that fits your situation, we're happy to create a personalized coaching plan tailored to your goals, schedule, and stage of practice.
