Our first doula team was built in Massachusetts! I have over 15 years of doula support care in the Greater Boston area, and my own team will be 6 years old in Fall 2024. Many of my team members have been together since the beginning. Many of our birth and postpartum doulas are moms, grandmothers, career nannies, newborn care specialists, and former preschool teachers. Some come from academia, industry, and educational teaching backgrounds and have found their calling in birth work. We will be updating with pictures and bios soon!
We have wonderful local partners who we highly recommend for all of your pregnancy and postpartum needs.

Boston & Massachusetts Pregnancy and Postpartum Therapists
It is never too early to support your perinatal mental health journey while you prepare for parenthood. I also recommend having a therapist onboard at least 1-2 months prior to delivery for everyone! Your mental health matters, and having that safety net in place while you go through such a huge and rapid hormonal shift postpartum is everything. These local Boston area mental health experts are here to help, and they are all certified and trained specifically in perinatal mental health.
