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.
Our offerings are meticulously designed to cater to the diverse needs of our community. From intensive training programs for aspiring doulas to advanced workshops for seasoned practitioners. We equip our members with the knowledge and skills necessary to support birthing families before, during, and after childbirth, ensuring a safe, empowering, and positive birth experience.
We also offer resources for professionals and parents including webinars, birth films, mini educational courses, local city wise meet ups, doula retreats and postpartum support group meetings for new mothers.
We are a collective in the true spirit. Each member volunteers and contributes as they can to the shared resources and collective wisdom. Our sisterhood of doulas support each other through peer mentorship, sharing learnings, group discussions and warm hugs.
