Birth Doulas

This list includes doulas who charge a fee for services. They are all self-employed and have designed their own service packages and set their own fees. You are encouraged to contact listed doulas to determine who will best be able to meet your unique needs. To learn more about doulas, or for additional leads on finding a doula and tips for hiring a doula, check out our new publication, All About Doulas: A Consumer’s Guide. If you cannot afford a professional doula, you may be eligible to receive free doula assistance through the community-based volunteer Doulas Care Program.
