Professional Doulas of Charleston

Professional Doulas of Charleston Doulas bring their own businesses & experience to connect, collaborate, & grow as small business wome Gretchen recalls "There were a few of us doing doula work.

​Professional Doulas of Charleston began in 2003 when longtime doula and childbirth educator Lin Cook noticed several other women in Charleston were working as doulas. She suggested to Gretchen Gabriel that the Lowcountry needed a local doula association, and PDC was born. We all had a common goal of wanting to support women in their choices, but were working independently. I wanted us to be able

to join forces to make a group where women could gain further understanding of what we did (and did not) do and where we could support one another. I was hoping to put an end to a feeling of competitiveness or division with one another, as we all had a common goal. (Another goal was) setting standards of care while showing each individual's strengths. Lastly I hoped we could show the midwives, nurses and physicians we worked with that we were professionals working with mothers for the mother's goals for her birth. I hoped that having a professional organization would build bridges between us and the rest of the birthing community so together we could support women." read more at http://www.charlestondoulas.com/history.html
