I don’t know anyone who had a home birth and regretted it.”

In birth work, there’s no scarcity. There’s only abundance. ✨⁠
⁠
There will never be enough of us, so we share what we know, support each other, and lift each other up. Being a doula isn’t just about supporting families, it’s about supporting each other too.⁠
⁠
Our Doula Mentorship Program gives you guidance, accountability, and community. ⁠
⁠
It’s everything you need to grow your birth or postpartum work while connecting with other NYC-area doulas who are building the field with you.⁠

Doulas need each other more than ever. 🫂

Every day reminds us how fragile our care systems are. Access to maternal health care, family planning, fertility treatment, and evidence-based guidance is harder than ever, and misinformation is everywhere.

That’s why community matters. Our Doula Mentor Program brings birth workers together so you’re not navigating your work alone.

Connect with peers who understand your clients, your challenges, and your mission. Slow down, reflect, and strengthen the skills you need to provide compassionate, inclusive, evidence-informed care... even in a world that feels divided and uncertain.

Applications open September 17. Join our Interest List and let’s support each other this year. → https://bit.ly/4ggAEti

“When I first got pregnant, I thought doctors and hospital birth were the only options I had, but after I gave birth at the hospital, people introduced me to the option of homebirth.

It was the best decision I have ever made. Tanya and Sarah made it so smooth, and they made it happen for me the way I wanted it.

I was so lucky I met them and got to have this birth at home. It was a great experience.”

– Ami ❤️

“Getting out of that system, I was able to have a birth that was so safe, so peaceful, and so integrated.

I was never separated from my child.

I was able to walk from where the baby was born right into my bed.

It was an empowering and sacred experience, and it honestly makes me sad that I didn’t get to have that experience with my other three babies because I was so caught up in the fear that if you’re not medically managing your birth, something terrible is going to happen.

I really suffered from worrying about that, even as I was planning this home birth.

My experience could not have felt safer or more calm.

It was more calm than in the hospital, which is ironic.”

"Homebirth healed me. You don’t need much to care for a baby. The baby just needs you. And this applies to your birth as well.

I joined a mindful birthing class early in my first pregnancy, and while in my second trimester, I very sadly experienced loss. I was lucky to have been supported through that miscarriage by my birthing class teachers, who were both doulas.

After the trauma around my first pregnancy, and guilt from my loss, my homebirth was able to take me full circle and allow me to truly believe what I always knew: my body was made for this."

– Carly

Carly’s story is a reminder that every parent’s journey is unique, and having compassionate support can make all the difference. 🫂
