As a doula trainer I'm seeing a sharply increasing trend:  Participants arriving at their workshops carrying trauma from having poor, disengaged and highly dissatisfying experiences with their own doulas. While doulas arriving at their workshops with birth trauma is nothing new, birth trauma because of having had a poor experience with their own birth doula is new and alarming.

We have increased security for both doulas and inquiring clients with a new method for doulas to retrieve clients' contact information.

The DoulaMatch team attended the 2024 Anarcha Lucy Betsey Day of Reckoning Conference on perinatal health and reproductive justice in Montgomery Alabama.  Read on for our highlights and learnings.

You are in complete control of where you appear in the DoulaMatch.net search results.  As a doula availability database, we are so much more than a listing service.

Clients are looking for doulas who are available nine months from now and eight to nine weeks from now.  Is your calendar updated to show that you're available to take these clients?
