We've added a Languages Spoken section to this page so doulas can select which languages they speak.  Prospective clients will now be able to search for doulas by language on this page.  Please update your profile to include the language(s) you speak, even if it's only english.  This will help populate our list of languages.  Right now, the languages you see are the 25 most common languages spoken in the US and Canada.  However, we know doulas and parents speak more languages than what's on this list.

Because the active COVID-19 virus will financially impact so many people in our communitites, we want to do our part to relieve any stress or worry about remaining active on DoulaMatch.net while COVID-19 social distancing requirements are in effect. After June 1st, we will re-assess and continue to extend profile expirations until social distancing requirements have been lifted.

Beginning April 1, 2020 keeping an active profile and availability calendar on DoulaMatch.net will require an annual support payment. 

The annual support options per profile are:

• $15 for doulas creating new profiles
• $25 for established, active doulas
• $50 for doulas who have received paying clients from their DoulaMatch.net profile

Doulas choose the level of financial support that matches their use of the site. 

Your ranking in search results is determined by when you last updated or refreshed your calendar.  Doulas with the most recent calendar update/refresh are always at the top of the search results.  Doulas in competitive markets update or refresh their availability calendar daily.

We are about to release a major upgrade in the style and visual appearance of DoulaMatch.net.  That release will occur on Friday, February 7th at 9pm, PST.

Since 2008, supporting our work has been voluntary.  We are enormously grateful for your current support of our work.  Without you, this site would not exist.  Thank you.

Going forward with this release, annual support of our work will now be required from all doulas who keep profiles on DoulaMatch.net.  As we’ve done in the past, doulas will be able to select a level of financial support that matches their use of the site and the value they receive.
