Birth Doula Support
Feel supported in birth.
Personalized, Professional Support
Hiring a doula is a big part of answering the call to prepare for your birth ahead. We had doulas at our own births, so we get how important this decision is! That is why each Collective Member is personally known by us, and has been brought on based on their compassion, professionalism, and training.
Every Collective Member offers non-judgmental, unbiased support of all birth choices, regardless of lifestyle, religion or birth preferences, including non-medicated birth, induction, epidural birth, cesarean, scheduled cesarean, VBAC, Hypnobirthing, Hypnobabies, Bradley Method, Lamaze and more.
Every Collective Member is an independent provider, meaning they each set their own rates, offer their own packages and have their own unique style of care. You tell us your ideal care needs and budget and we’ll match you to an amazing doula to support you!

Doula Support
What is a doula?
A doula is a non-medical assistant, trained and experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the birth giver and their partner before, during and just after childbirth.
Throughout history, birth givers all over the world have been supported during childbirth by other women. You can depend on us for encouragement, back rubs, advice, and emotional support.
How do doulas support birth?
Doulas are experienced in providing tried and true comfort measures specific to labor. These can include suggestions for changing positions, vocalization, rhythmic movement, guided relaxation with breathing and/or visualization, and specialized massage for labor. As your doulas, we also help you gather important information before and during labor so you are completely informed about all your options and can feel confident about your choices.
The most valuable thing a doula offers is continuous emotional support. This comes in the form of verbal encouragement and reassurance, a constant physical presence, and full trust in your power and ability to birth.
How do doulas support partners?
Your partner always plays the most important role in loving and caring for you. We will be there to help support your partner through the birth journey, modeling specific comfort measures, offering reassurance and being a teammate in the big role of labor companion. Many partners we have worked with have shared that the presence of a doula allowed them to show up more fully throughout the process.
Some birth givers have a whole birthing team, including friends, their mother, sister, grandmother, father, etc. Whoever you want as part of your birth team will be honored and welcomed. We will all work together to ensure that you feel joyful and well supported throughout your journey.
