Doula Association

A Doula Association is a professional organization that supports and certifies doulas—trained individuals who provide emotional, informational, and physical support to families before, during, and after childbirth. These associations establish standards, offer training and resources, and promote best practices to ensure high-quality care. They also advocate for family-centered, respectful birth practices and help connect families with qualified doulas. Membership often includes networking opportunities, continued education, and a code of ethics to maintain professionalism within the field. Overall, a Doula Association works to improve maternity care and empower families through supported childbirth experiences.
