What Is The Doula Collective
Welcome to The Doula Collective, a vibrant community where passion for birth work and the power of connection come to life. Our mission is to empower individuals and institutions through comprehensive training, fostering a supportive network of doulas who are committed to transforming the birth experience. As a collective, we are more than just a group of professionals.
We are a movement dedicated to nurturing, education, and advocacy, standing strong in the belief that every birthing person deserves respect, care, and support.
Not Just What We Do,
But Why We Do It.
For Professionals
Our Trainings
Doula Training Program
Labour support, or having caring people around during labour, is not a new idea. The Doula Collective offers a Doula Training programme that is comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. The training programme offers insight, reflective capacity, and compassion, along with an understanding of how labour and birth may unfold beyond the narrow focus of getting the anatomy to function. The course is interactive, personalised, slow-paced, and holds you strongly yet lovingly in this journey into birth work, similar to the ethos of doula support.
Professional Doula Mentorship
This mentorship program is a circle for working doulas — a place where skill is sharpened and the heart is tended. Through continued learning, guided supervision, reflective practice, and shared case stories, we grow steadier in our craft. It offers space to process the tender weight of birth work, deepen confidence in lived practice, and be held by a community of peers. Not just training — but holding, for the one who holds.
Community
