What Is a Full-Spectrum Doula?

-Assist clients with creating personalized birth and postpartum plans

-Refer clients to medical and community resources when needed

-Maintain clear, confidential, and professional communication with families

-Uphold inclusive and evidence-based care practices

 

Ideal Candidates Are:

-Passionate about reproductive justice, family wellness, and community support

-Empathetic and trustworthy, with strong listening skills

-Comfortable with flexible scheduling, including occasional nights and weekends

-Eager to learn and open to mentorship and feedback

-Experienced in caregiving, nannying, birth work—or simply ready to begin

-Inclusive and affirming of all identities, body types, abilities, and family structures

 

This application is for practicing doulas who want to join our team. If you are interested in becoming a certified doula, you can apply to our Doula Certification Program, which includes:

-Full-spectrum doula training (birth, postpartum, loss, abortion, fertility, and more)
