Accepting applications for our 2022-23 cohort through October 11, 2022.
Not everyone can do this work. Can you?
Are you a new birth professional yearning for a supportive community, direction, coaching, and mentorship beyond the crowdsourcing of Facebook?
Or have you worked in this field for some time but you want to jumpstart your birthing practice, get more training and inspiration, and a rock solid community to support your next steps?
The Manhattan Birth Mentor Program provides just that.
Entry level coaching, education, and community for those interested in starting a birth work practice, with the opportunity to secure a lifetime certification as a birth and/or postpartum doula.
Next level coaching, education and community for doulas who have been in business for at least one year and are looking to streamline and expand their birth work business.
Not only do you have basic or advanced training as a birth and/or postpartum doula, with the option to certify—you know how to serve clients who are higher-risk, how to navigate advocacy in various birthing settings or how to identify a myriad of lactation issues, and more.
You have a clear handle on your services, packages and budgeting, a better approach to your marketing, and a deeper understanding of your ideal client and what makes you the perfect fit.
When you join our Mentor Program, you become part of a fun, loving and enthusiastic community that will always have your back as you grow and evolve in your birth work business.
"I sincerely believe I wouldn't have had the knowledge, skills, and confidence to get my business off the ground if I wasn't a part of this program. Tanya always says 'a rising tide lifts all boats' and I truly felt that in my program year - being surrounded by so many determined, passionate, and amazing doulas helped elevate my own confidence and goals."

You will be provided with all you need to secure a lifetime certification as a birth and/or postpartum doula, should you choose to do so.
You’ll leave with the ability to offer higher levels of client care, better and more refined business practices so you can grow despite your busy schedule attending births and lifelong friendships with colleagues in your field.
