“A doula is a confidant, a safe space holder, a nurturer to the mother/birthing person, and an empathic educator.”

— Merrisa A. Stern, AAIMM Doula Mentee 

"A doula’s role is to provide you with all the tools you need to have an empowered and safe experience while bringing your baby earth-side." 

— Mia De Silva, AAIMM Doula

"As a doula, I am privileged to provide support, advocacy, and create safe spaces for birthing families in my community."

– Renett Clough, AAIMM Doula

"It’s imperative that the birthing experience consists of the individual feeling like they are listened to, validated, and genuinely supported."

– Shana Spinks, AAIMM Doula

Being a doula means creating a sacred space for birthing families to honor their birth as a Rite of Passage, for all birth outcomes
