Monique The Doula

Offering Birth, Postpartum and Virtual Doula Services Monique Cowan is a New Beginnings and Birth Arts International trained Birth and Postpartum Doula.

She is passionate about closing the breastfeeding gap between Black women and other women in the US and affordable doula and midwifery care for all women. Monique specializes in Birth and Postpartum doula care and offers an innovative Virtual Doula Service whereby she coaches pregnant and brand new mothers and their support systems via phone, video chat and email. Monique also offers natural pain

management techniques, breastfeeding support, newborn care assistance and education, sibling care, home care, cooking, herbal tea and sitz bath prep and emergency childcare service (called Mother's Relief) for new moms who may be in desperate need of a break (or who may have an emergency to tend to) for a few hours to overnight. Monique made the decision to become a doula after the birth of her child in 2011 after her own doula helped to empower and enlighten her about the strength of her own body and mind to birth and care for her new baby without any fear. Monique is fervent about passing on that same empowerment to other women during their birthing year, regardless of background or income, having been a mother on welfare, herself.

📢 Did you know that having a doula reduces the chance of C-sections, shortens labor, and increases birth satisfaction?

And yet… so many families don’t have access to this support.

I’m about to change that. If you’ve ever thought about becoming a doula, stay tuned. Something BIG is coming. 💡

Our Story

Monique Cowan (also known as, Monique The Doula) is a Postpartum Family Nurturing Specialist. Monique offers classes for new mothers, fathers and their extended families. She also offers herbal blends to help new mamas heal from birth. Monique screens (but does not diagnose) parents for Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders. One of Monique's specialties is helping daddies realize how valuable they are, even if they are not married to or romantically involved with mom.

Monique has been doing the work of a doula since 2001, even before she had heard the word. She naturally cared for her friends and family members during and after their pregnancies. She has cared for babies and children since the age of 16. Monique formally trained as a doula in 2011, after receiving the nurturing and support of a doula during her own pregnancy and childbirth.

After experiencing Postpartum Depression and Anxiety, Monique understood the immense importance of postpartum care. After training to become a postpartum doula, she became an advocate and cheerleader for "the village"- the group of family and friends who surround the newborn's parents throughout pregnancy and beyond. Monique now trains those friends and family members to give optimal nurturing and support to the new parents, whether they hire a doula or not.

Monique also received certification from Divine Birth in pregnancy and postpartum herbs in the Black Southern tradition, and helps her clients and their families in natural healing and wellness.
