For the doula thinking: "I finished my training... now what?"

These aren't pre-recorded lessons or one-size-fits-all coaching calls. We'll use them for the things you actually need.

Expand Package
Established Doula Growth Mentorship
For the doula thinking: "I've built something. Now what could it become?"
4–6 months | $2,295 + HST
EXPAND isn't about teaching you how to become a doula.
You're already doing the work.
This mentorship is about looking at what you've built, figuring out what's working, identifying what's holding you back and intentionally designing what comes next.
We'll begin with a comprehensive look at your business and build the mentorship around your priorities.
We can explore:
Business and brand strategy
Pricing and profitability
Restructuring packages
Expanding into new areas of doula care
Increasing inquiry-to-booking conversion
Website strategy and optimization
SEO and content
Client experience
Capacity, boundaries and burnout
Creating a more sustainable schedule
Diversifying revenue
Developing workshops or classes
Creating digital resources
Group programs
Speaking and teaching
Community partnerships
Referral networks
Becoming an educator or mentor
Hiring or subcontracting
Building a doula team
Moving from practitioner to business owner
Delegating
Systems and workflows
Long-term strategic planning
Website + digital presence audit
We'll also look closely at your existing online presence.
Does your website still represent who you've become?
Can someone quickly understand what you do, who you support and how to work with you?
Does your website lead people somewhere, or is it simply... there?
We'll review your website, messaging, client journey and basic SEO and determine what should stay, what should change and what needs to be rebuilt.
If website redevelopment is one of your major goals, we can make hands-on website work part of your mentorship.
Your mentorship includes:
1 × 90-minute Business + Brand Audit
7 × 60-minute Private Mentorship Sessions
Website + digital presence audit
Individualized strategic plan
Relevant templates, tools + resources
Between-session email support
Final 6-month growth roadmap
Investment
$2,295 + HST
or 6 monthly payments of $400 + HST
This isn't about making your business bigger simply for the sake of being bigger.
It's about building the version that makes sense for you.

Lead Package
Doula Leadership Mentorship
For the doula, educator, founder or community builder realizing: "I'm not just doing the work anymore. I'm leading it."
6 months | $2,995 + HST
Being excellent at your work doesn't automatically teach you how to lead people.
Leadership brings an entirely different set of questions.
How do I build a team without doing everything myself?
How do I create a healthy culture?
How do I handle conflict?
How do I mentor people without trying to solve everything for them?
How do I protect what I've built while allowing other people to have ownership?
How do I grow without losing the reason I started?
And perhaps one of the hardest:
What happens when I'm the person everyone comes to?
LEAD is individualized mentorship for doulas stepping into leadership, including collective and agency owners, team leads, mentors, educators, program developers, community builders and founders.
Our work may include:
Developing your leadership philosophy
Values-led leadership
Moving from practitioner to leader
Building organizational culture
Collaboration over competition
Building and managing teams
Choosing collaborators
Roles and responsibilities
Delegation
Contractor and team structures
Policies and expectations
Communication
Conflict and difficult conversations
Giving and receiving feedback
Mentoring other doulas
Supporting people without becoming responsible for everything
Leadership boundaries
Emotional labour
Decision fatigue
Burnout and capacity
Strategic planning
Program development
Developing workshops and education
Community engagement
Partnerships
Events and conferences
Brand architecture
Systems and infrastructure
Developing other leaders
Sustainability and succession planning
This mentorship can also include strategic support around building a collective, agency, educational program, conference, nonprofit initiative or other community-based project.
Your mentorship includes:
1 × 2-hour Leadership Deep Dive
9 × 60-minute Private Leadership Mentorship Sessions
Leadership + organizational assessment
Relevant templates, frameworks + resources
Between-session email support
Strategic review midway through the mentorship
12-month leadership + organizational roadmap
Investment
$2,995 + HST
or 6 monthly payments of $525 + HST
Leadership doesn't have to mean having all the answers.
Sometimes it means building the kind of space where other people can bring theirs.

Bring Me The Mess Mentorship
Single Private Mentorship Sessions
Sometimes you don't need a package.
You just need someone to sit beside you, look at the pile of thoughts you've accumulated and help you figure out what the heck to do with them.
That's what these sessions are for.
Bring me your pricing.
Your packages.
Your website.
The consultation that went sideways.
The client situation you're unsure how to navigate.
The workshop you've been thinking about for six months.
The boundary you know you need to set.
The business idea living in seventeen different notes on your phone.
The "I don't even know what I need, but I know something isn't working."
Bring the mess.
We'll sort through it together.
60-Minute Mentorship Session
$175 + HST
One focused hour to troubleshoot, brainstorm, strategize or work through a specific situation.
90-Minute Deep Dive

Pre-session questionnaire
Private virtual mentorship
Relevant resources/templates when appropriate
Written next steps
One follow-up email within 7 days
No package. No long-term commitment. No pretending you have everything figured out before you book.
Meet Doula Mentor
Amy Silva
Bring me the big idea. The messy client situation. The business that isn't quite working. The “I have no idea what I'm doing” moment. Or the dream you've been quietly sitting on because you're not sure you're ready for it yet.
That's where I love to mentor.
I'm not here to hand you my blueprint or turn you into another version of me. I want to help you figure out what your version of this work can look like, and then give you the tools, knowledge, connections and occasional loving push to actually go build it.
My mentorship style is collaborative, curious and very real. We'll talk pricing, clients, marketing and business strategy, but we'll also talk boundaries, confidence, difficult cases, leadership, burnout, advocacy and all the wonderfully messy parts of being a human who supports other humans.
I'll share what's worked for me, what absolutely hasn't, and the lessons I've learned along the way. I'll ask a LOT of questions. I'll celebrate the heck out of your wins. I'll challenge you when I think you're playing small. And if I don't know the answer? I'll tell you, and then we'll figure out who does.
Because collaboration over competition isn't just something I say. It's how I've built my entire career.
And yes, I've built some things.
I founded The Collaborative Doula Collective, which I've grown into a six-figure doula business that goes far beyond connecting doulas with families. We built mentorship, continuing education, referrals, debriefing and professional development into the Collective because I believe doulas deserve to be supported while they're busy supporting everyone else.
That same belief grew into The Collaborative Doula Conference, bringing people together to learn and challenge the way we think, and The Collaborative Doula Academy, combining doula education with hands-on experience, mentorship, business skills and continued support.
Most recently, we launched The Collaborative Doula Network, our non-profit working toward making doula care accessible at little or no cost to families facing financial barriers while still paying doulas for their work, alongside community education across the full life spectrum.
And somewhere between building all of that and actually working as a full-spectrum doula, I'm usually taking another course. My education spans birth, postpartum, lactation, pregnancy and infant loss, trauma, grief, Indigenous approaches to birth and death, end-of-life care, yoga and meditation, alongside continued learning in leadership, marketing and business.
I don't believe you ever become experienced enough to stop learning.
And I definitely don't believe mentorship should create carbon copies.
You don't need to build what I built.
Let's figure out what you're here to build.

Just had my 1:1 mentorship call with Amy. Instantly felt relieved and took the edge off all the fears/anxieties I have been having with doula work. I’d 100% recommend booking yours.
-Poomeja
“Amy has taken on many titles within our community, most notably embracing the role of Auntie; empowering others with advocacy and leadership.”
I can’t thank Amy enough for welcoming me into the world of doula care and practices. Not only has she opened her home to us and shared her knowledge and experiences, she’s given us the tools and confidence to nurture and enhance our own strengths and abilities. Amy has taken on many titles within our community, most notably embracing the role of Auntie; empowering others with advocacy and leadership. Amy’s passion for helping others and guiding them through the process of childbirth and everything before and after, shows through with every client. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor, thank you Amy!
— Mercedes
Amy's mentorship program, rooted in a trauma-informed approach to birth work, has been beyond transformative. My journey with Amy began with a desire to expand my knowledge and skills in the field of birth work. Her depth of knowledge and wisdom is exceptional, and she consistently demonstrates a commitment to ensuring that her mentees are well-prepared and supported in their own journeys.
Amy's approach is a testament to her profound understanding of the emotional and psychological aspects of childbirth. She emphasizes the significance of creating safe and nurturing environments for expecting parents, allowing them to navigate this transformative experience with as much comfort and ease as possible. Her guidance in understanding trauma and how it can impact the birthing process has been eye-opening and has equipped me with invaluable tools to better support my clients.
Throughout the mentorship program, Amy facilitates numerous discussions and hands-on experiences that are not only educational but also deeply enriching. She fosters an environment in which I feel comfortable to learn, grow, and challenge myself.
Amy’s mentorship program has undoubtedly enriched my professional journey as a doula. It has not only broadened my knowledge and skills but has also deepened my passion and commitment to this vital work. I wholeheartedly recommend her program to anyone seeking to excel in the field of birth and postpartum support, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have learned from her.
-Ashley
As I reflect on my journey as a doula, I can’t help but be deeply grateful for the incredible guidance and support of Amy.
Beyond the realm of professional mentorship, she has effortlessly woven a tapestry of warmth and camaraderie, making me feel like a part of her own family. Her nurturing spirit and profound expertise have not only enhanced my doula practice but also enriched my life in ways I could have never imagined.
Amy has a unique gift for fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose, creating a bond that transcends professional boundaries and mirrors the depth of familial love.
Her presence in my life is a testament to the profound impact a mentor can have, not just in professional development but also in cultivating a sense of kinship and belonging that lasts a lifetime. I am incredibly fortunate to have Amy as my mentor, friend, and honorary family member, enriching my journey as a doula and beyond.
-Maighen
Once I started the program it blew my mind how much we learned
and how important to know what she was explaining to us.
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.

“We have a safe space to talk freely and build each other up.”
I feel heard and over all encouraged by Amy. The way our conversations flow from topic to topic feel over all like just one big conversation. It is always kept interesting!! Myself having issues focusing I never feel like it is hard to follow along. Amy makes sure to always break things down if someone isn’t understanding. This makes everything so much easier to keep track and follow along. We have a safe space to talk freely and build each other up. I couldn't ask for a better space to grow as a Doula!
- Tina
Amy has a way of challenging you while also holding space and making you feel supported.
I’ve been part of Amy’s mentorship program for 4 months now and I can’t say enough about it. I had been practicing as a doula for about a year and a half but felt like the organization I trained with didn’t give me the education and preparation I needed - enter, Amy. She has taught me to acknowledge my own biases, shown me how to advocate effectively for clients, given me confidence in teaching, and helped me define my role as a doula more clearly. Amy has a way of challenging you while also holding space and making you feel supported. I feel more prepared than ever to serve clients and be the doula I want and need to be. The group weekends give us a chance to bond with other doulas and talk things through as a group, and our one on one sessions give me more personalized advice and insight.
