Are you passionate about birth? Do you love your doula work and feel called to grow your practice and skills? Are you confident that your gorgeous clients are getting the best out of you?

I believe there is a doula out there for everyone. As birth workers we are all beautiful in our own unique ways. We have our own special ways of guiding our clients towards their dream births. Would you like to be able to confidently articulate your unique strengths and attract your dream clients?

Maybe you have finished doula training and are ready to elevate your doula business. Or maybe you’re well established but it’s time to implement business systems that better support your busy client load. Is it time to enhance your practice, review your client documentation, build your website and get your name out there? Are you having difficulty attracting clients/families that would benefit from your support? Don’t worry. I’ve been where you are! I leaned on my mentors early in my doula career and it benefited me greatly. I continue to lean into mentoring to continue this lifelong journey of personal and professional growth.

I am the founder and owner of businesses Nurtured by Nancy and Yoga Playgroup. Since escaping the world of corporate advertising in Sydney CBD, I have built a thriving and very busy birth and postpartum doula practice in the Greater Sydney and Wollongong areas. I operate a massage clinic, teach yoga and mentor yoga teachers to open Yoga Playgroup businesses, facilitate parenting groups, workshops and private birth and parenting related classes. I also mentor doulas to look inside and find their why, their spark, their vision and then plan and execute a professional strategy for achieving their goals of becoming the best birth workers they can be.
