make space for caregivers.

“This mentorship has changed the way I move through the world. There is now ease and patience where there was once intense friction, and for that I am forever grateful.”

"It's a deep, personal journey where you will understand who you are, what brought you to caregiving and how you can take care of yourself to sustain a long career."

"The mentorship itself felt like a spiritual retreat. It left me with a rejuvenated excitement about the work. It didn't feel like the end, it felt like a jump start into my next phase of growth as a doula.”

Is this for me?
This mentorship is for anyone who identifies as a caregiver.
When did you first care for somebody?
When did you first hold someone up, provide advice, information, guidance, emotional support and physical comfort?
Through this mentorship, you’ll discover why you were called to care for others.
You’ll explore what it actually means to do this crucial work more broadly.
You’ll connect with your calling as your whole self.
This mentorship is designed to help you decide if care work is right for you, and un-blur your motivations for doing it. It was created to help you understand and adopt appropriate boundaries, and to reflect on the inherent energetic exchange and what is required to sustain yourself in it.
Whether you’ve been doula’ing for twenty years or are recently trained, you will find immense value in our collective “unlearning” and mentorship. We conjured this space to cultivate deeper compassion for our fellow birth workers while we all serve in this incredibly complex role. We are here for you every step of the way.
Join us for the next mentorship beginning on Tuesday, October 6th 2026.
What to expect
Unpack the Past
Your own beautiful or, alternately, traumatic birth/childhood or adolescent experience may be what nudged you towards care work and we’ll unpack how the way you arrived here can inform your approach.
Community First
Care work is community work and it’s also, as we’ll explore, work that is rooted in reminding clients that they do indeed have a community that they can lean on; you’ll learn how to braid those worlds together for the people you serve.
Protect Yourself
Burnout rate with this kind of work, which demands so much of you physically, mentally and emotionally, is often an inevitability, leading to depression, dread, even dissociation. We’ll teach both longtime and newly certified birth workers how to do this work without losing yourself.
Energy Work
Birth work is energy work. And this type of energetic exchange demands deeper personal reflection to be able to be fully present in this role. We’ll show you how to do the self investigation required—a proverbial cleaning of your mirror—so you can show up for the families you serve
The Details
-
Structure
We will meet on Tuesdays (starting 10/6/26) for two weeks of curriculum followed by one week of reflection, (repeated thrice over the 9-week mentorship).
During reflection weeks we will center your expansion, using our time together to discuss any revelations you’re having, questions that have bubbled up, or any thoughts you’d like to digest as a group.
Outside of recorded zoom gatherings, mentees can continue engaging with the group and mentors on a private WhatsApp group.
-
Format
Our format is based on the cycles of labor itself: between contractions, there is expansion.
This is where the most essential work of labor lies. We want to incorporate these moments of pause for your rest, reflection, and integration throughout The Space and Time Mentorship.

Mentors
You’ll learn from a group of diverse Mentors that Domino consults with weekly to support this container. This ever-evolving team of experts in birth work and surrounding fields enriches the core curriculum with stories, anecdotes, and lessons they’ve learned over their tenure.
Expect to be inspired and empowered as you embrace a variety of voices and insights from within the care giving community and beyond.

Investment
The nine-week mentorship is $1800.
There is an early enrollment discount of $1000 until September 10th.
Two and three-part payment plans are available. Discounts are available for Carriage House Birth alumni.
About Domino

“I will cherish this experience and the wisdom that was shared with me forever.”
“This mentorship changed how I view my work and how I walk in this world.”
