World doula week celebrates the women who have been called as doulas to support women and their growing families. Women who listen deeply and meet families where they are as they welcome babies. We count ourselves lucky to walk alongside, provide education and support to women and their partners during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. Gainesville Doula Network is proud to be a part of the work of doulas in our community
