Program Structure
Each weekend kicks off on Friday evenings (6:00 PM – 9:00 PM) with a community dinner, where mentees gather with doulas from the mentorship program, members of the collective, and occasionally, other birthworkers from the local community. This dinner provides a unique opportunity to network, build relationships, and foster a sense of belonging.
The real learning happens on Saturdays and Sundays (10:00 AM – 4:00 PM), where we dive into hands-on training, interactive discussions, and in-depth exploration of the monthly module or topic. These weekends provide a supportive space to engage deeply with the material and refine your skills.
You’ll also receive personalized 1:1 mentorship each month. These sessions are tailored to your specific needs, offering focused support on refining skills, navigating client care, and addressing personal challenges. This individual guidance complements the group workshops, helping you grow confidently as a doula both professionally and personally.
Beyond these “in-class” hours, you’ll have the opportunity to shadow me during consultations, prenatal visits, births, and postpartum support shifts, whenever available. This real-world exposure is invaluable for building confidence and learning how to apply the skills you gain in class.

Meet Your Doula Mentor
Amy Silva
Hi, I’m Amy Silva, and I’m passionate about empowering doulas to grow into confident, compassionate, and skilled birth workers. With years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, and even end-of-life transitions, I believe in the importance of holding space for all of life’s major changes. From the beginning of life to its final stages, everyone deserves care, support, and advocacy during these sacred moments.
As your mentor, I am committed to guiding you through the complexities of doula work, whether it’s supporting physiological birth, offering grief and loss support, or helping families navigate the postpartum period. I believe that doulas should not only be strong advocates for their clients but also encourage their clients to advocate for themselves, helping them honor their beliefs and make empowered decisions.
What makes my mentorship program different?
My mentorship is trauma- and grief-informed because I understand the profound emotional and spiritual journeys that both doulas and their clients undergo. I strive to create a safe, collaborative environment where you can learn, unlearn, and grow with hands-on experience and personal guidance. Together, we’ll build a strong foundation for you to provide holistic care while nurturing your own well-being.
I’m here to help you become the doula you aspire to be, ready to support families through life’s most powerful and transformative moments.

Testimonials
“When I met Amy just to talk about being a doula I knew I wanted her to be my mentor and asked about the mentorship program. She explained it to me and I knew it would be very beneficial to my career and future as a doula. Once I started the program it blew my mind how much we learned and how important to know what she was explaining to us. She helps us all learn so much. I am thankful to have the mentorship program and her. Can’t wait to see what we learn next.” — Shannon (ShanTastic Doula)
