We connect and provide advanced education for Doulas with a unified approach to birth work, while fostering and building professional networks.
Our Vision
We are a group of dedicated and diverse individuals building the bridge for our parenting community, medical establishments, small businesses, and resources for doulas here in Wisconsin.
We are cultivating a membership base that includes access to resources and education. Including but not limited to: cultural competency, trauma informed care, mentorship, advanced education opportunities, current evidence based information, advocacy, and peer to peer support.
We know doulas should be acknowledged and respected members of the perinatal team and evidence based practices prove it.
