The single most powerful thing you can do for your DoulaMatch.net profile takes about ten seconds: update your availability calendar. Do it often, and you stay at the top of search results where families are looking.

If you’re a doula deciding where to spend your marketing dollars, or a parent looking for support, you’ve probably seen both DoulaMatch.net and Bornbir. They both connect families with perinatal professionals, but they work in opposite ways. Here is how they differ and why we believe DoulaMatch.net is the better choice for doulas and for families.

After reviewing the nearly 300 organizations that claimed to certify doulas, we removed 115 organizations from our database that were either defunct or could not pass our litmus test as a certification organization.

DoulaMatch.net is making changes to our Evaluating Doula Certifications page to help consumers better understand doula certifications.

DoulaMatch.net publishes doula fee surveys for US and Canada every year.
