What’s in Your Doula Bag? (The Things You Can’t See)

When people ask, “What’s in your doula bag?” they usually expect a list of oils, snacks, birth balls, and rebozos.
But the most important tools a doula carries can’t be unpacked on a table.

Here’s what really lives in a doula’s bag:

Calmness
The kind that slows a room down.

Protection
Not physical defense—but energetic and emotional protection.

Discernment
Knowing when to speak and when to stay quiet.

Presence
Not fixing. Not rushing.
Just being fully there—steady, grounded, and unshaken.

Language
Words that empower instead of frighten.

Because at the end of the day,
a doula’s greatest tools aren’t what she brings to the birth…but who she is in the birth.

So tell me...
what’s in your doula bag?

Before hospitals and schedules, there was a village. Doulas help families remember.

We take pride in helping families build a solid village for support.

On a day about dreams, let’s tell the truth.

South Carolina’s pregnancy-related mortality rate is 36.9 deaths per 100,000 live births.Black women are 67% more likely to die than white women.

That’s not in the past. That’s right now.

So yes — we have a dream. We dream about a future where every Black birthing person in Columbia and beyond receives the respectful, high-quality care they deserve. We are dreaming of birth setting that doesn’t put Black lives at risk.
We are dreaming of a future where Black women survive childbirth.

We are the Black Doulas of Columbia Collective.
And we’re committed to achieving this dream/

The rest and reset is imperative to self care. Rest and reset. Honoring, deeply loving and appreciating yourself is a must do not a luxury.
