What agency owners say about our mentorship program:
Thank you so much for all of your insight Anna
“Thank you so much for all of your insight Anna. I learned a lot and I’d join again just because it’s really good information. Hearing these other agency owners sharing about their successes and that it’s possible is helpful” – Becky C.
It’s been definitely the best money I’ve spent so far
“Anna I just want to say thank you so much for your generosity and your time, and your passion because I’m a strong believer in an open hand concept – you are the epitomy of modeling that behavior. I want to thank you for this great training, it’s been definitely the best money I’ve spent so far.” – Linna
The tips I learned were so valuable
“The agency mentorship program was SUCH a blessing for me and for my doula business. I feel like the tips I learned were so valuable. Anna was incredible. Connecting with all of the other agency owners was so helpful too. Thank you so much!” – Jenny C.
My agency had its best year of growth last year—by a lot!
“I highly recommend Anna’s program! For me, getting my systems updated was the most beneficial. I needed to update my on-boarding process, and Anna shared fantastic ideas on how to do that. My agency had its best year of growth last year—by a lot!” – Katie N.
A COMPLETE game changer
“It’s honestly hard to sum up exactly what we learned because everyone in the mentorship was at such different stages of their agency and careers, we all took away different things. Anna truly goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you need out of the experience, no matter where you’re starting from. I still have years wroth of things to implement from my cohort alone.
For me, it was a COMPLETE game changer. It gave me the confidence to step fully into the role of agency owner instead of trying to juggle client work and leadership at the same time. I learned everything from improving systems, navigating independent contractor situations more effectively, connecting deeply with clients even when I’m not in their homes, and most importantly building something sustainable.
I joked with Anna that I’d sign up again and again…but by the end, I genuinely meant it. I’d absolutely take it again next year just to reevaluate and apply things based on where my agency will be then. Being in a room with agency owners who were just starting out and others with 10+ years of experience was incredibly valuable. We learned so much from each other and from Anna.”- McKayla B.
It felt like a safe space, no matter the stage you were in
“It was a great 5-week program! Anna shared insider information about her own experiences with agency work, including examples of how to scale and what it really takes to run a professional agency. I looked forward to each week with an open mind and heart. The group was diverse, with doulas just emerging into agency work and very experienced agency owners, and I feel like we all had our own takeaways from it. It felt like a safe space, no matter the stage you were in. The program gave me more confidence to take the next steps, and since the fall, I’ve grown from 2 doulas to 5 and have learned so much.” – Becky R.
My agency is ten years old and I still benefitted
“I went through the last cohort and Anna was so generous with sharing systems and customizing to what we need. My agency is ten years old and I still benefitted.” – Kristin R.
Taking this was one of my best business moves
“I have a pretty established mid sized agency and taking this was one of my best business moves of 2025…it as so special and impactful for me.” – Cheryl K.
