Chicago_Volunteer_Doulas_Meeting_April_2015-12.jpgMission Statement: We are a birth justice organization providing comprehensive doula support for vulnerable communities in Chicagoland.




Why do we find joy supporting mothers?

Each of our doulas has begun their journey into the field for a unique reason. Many of our doulas are mothers who have experienced the wonder of pregnancy and childbirth and wish to provide support to other mothers during such a life-changing time. Other doulas enter the field to support and empower parents in what is likely the most powerful experience of their lives.

The most common reason a doula is drawn to doula work can best be described as a calling. These individuals have found a common passion for holding the hand of a woman who is becoming a mother. They attend the birth of each baby as if it were for the first time and stand in awe of watching each family being born.
