Matching Doulas with Families

doulasIn Sacramento, California one hospital, Sutter Davis stands out from among the rest because of their volunteer doula program. They are the only hospital in a 100 mile radius to have a structured program that uses doulas as part of the health care team. In fact they turn away about 100 women a year that wish to serve as volunteer doulas.

Wow!

So many women want to serve pregnant women and they have no place to serve… At Childbirth Professionals we think that a solution must exist to connect doulas to families. So we have founded Doulas 4 Families. Click for info.

Doulas 4 Families is a community based doula program providing:

  • Free volunteer doula care based upon need
  • A sliding scale for doula care based on income

Our mission is to expand doula care so that every woman has access. We want to connect women that have a passion to serve with families that need your comfort and wisdom. We are starting in Sacramento, but spreading everywhere…

It is our dream that all birthing women will have the support of a doula…professionally trained or a best friend, a sister, a mother, a grandmother, a neighbor…some one to advocate and comfort her.
