Join Our Cuddle And Support Our Work

Many families do not realise that they have choices in their birth journey. There is a commonly held belief that there are rules that "must" be followed and that restrictions in place are evidence based when in reality 87% of recommendations in maternity care are in fact not based on grade A evidence. Many believe that you are not "allowed" to make decisions for yourself and your family. We want to be advocates for change. To support families to make informed choices about their care that are right for them as individuals.

By joining The Doula Association, you will be directly contributing towards ensuring that women, birthing people and their families are aware of doulas and understand what a doula's role is. We want this to become common knowledge for everyone and have a plan to help to educate families as well as medical staff as to how doulas can help to improve the maternity experience for everyone involved, to ensure better outcomes for birthing people, their babies, families and their care providers.
