✨New name, same mission — supporting Central Texas families through every stage of the journey!✨

We’re excited to introduce the Birth and Parenting Expo, continuing the legacy of connection, education, and care that began with Doula Share.

Join us as we grow, evolve, and create even more space for learning, collaboration, and empowerment for parents and birth professionals alike. 💜

Image Text:
For many years, Doula Share has served the Central Texas community through education. Doulas coming together to offer their knowledge and expertise to new expertise to new and expecting parents. It began by teaching classes, then moving virtual during Covid, to the expo-style event you’ve seen the last few years. We are so grateful for the origins of this event and the spirit in which it was created. As formats have shifted, so has the need for a clearer picture of what we are offering the community.

Moving forward, Doula Share will be rebranded as Birth and Parenting Expo.

Earlier today, members of last year’s CTDA board hosted the 2025 board for a fun and delicious brunch at Snooze. It was a great time filled with laughter, catching up, and enjoying each other’s company. Just look at all these good SIMaritans together! 😉 🍳 🍓 ☕️

If you didn’t know, the CTDA board is entirely volunteer-based, with all of the amazing work you see being driven by the passion and goodwill of its members. The board is made up of dedicated birth and postpartum doulas in the Austin community, all committed to creating a space where doulas can find support, friendship, opportunities, and more 🩷

We’re incredibly grateful to the 2024 board for their hard work and dedication in keeping the CTDA community thriving, and we’re excited for all the wonderful things the 2025 board has in store! 🙌🏼
