Running a business can be overwhelming, especially when you’re starting out. 

We provide client referrals, on-call coverage, marketing, and administrative help, so you can focus on what matters most: supporting families. 

Take clients referred to you by the network, bring clients in as network clients when you need support, and still continue to serve your own private clients independently if you have an established private business. **Everyone bills their own clients and is paid directly from them, or their insurance**

Want to become a doula, but don't know where to start? New doula looking for support and guidance?  Learn from experienced doulas while building lasting relationships with peers who understand the journey. 

Our network provides guidance, encouragement, and a safe space to ask questions, practice skills, and grow your confidence as a doula. We help you choose the right certifications, guide you on getting in-network with insurance companies, and train you to become confident in your role.

You’ll never feel alone in your journey — from your very first birth to your ongoing career growth.

Families & other professionals know and trust our network, and when you join, you become part of a respected, recognizable team. This credibility helps you attract clients more easily, while giving you the confidence of being part of a network that values excellence, care, and collaboration.

Holding space for each other.

Being a doula is deeply rewarding, but it can also be emotionally and physically demanding. That’s why we offer a safe space for doulas to come together, share experiences, and process the highs and lows of this work.

Our decompression group is about more than just venting — it’s about community care. We gather to:

• Share stories and challenges in a judgment-free space

• Celebrate the victories, big and small

• Release stress and prevent burnout

• Build resilience through connection and support

You don’t have to carry the weight of this work alone. Together, we lift each other up so that every doula can continue showing up fully for the families we serve.

Graceful Mama Doula Network isn’t just for doulas — we value a whole-community approach to supporting families. Our network collaborates with midwives, childbirth educators, lactation consultants, and other birth professionals to create a coordinated, comprehensive support system.

Being part of the network means:

• Seamless collaboration with other birth professionals to provide families with the best care possible

• Shared knowledge and resources across disciplines, enhancing your skills and confidence

• Opportunities to build professional relationships and grow your network while supporting families together

By working with other birth professionals, we strengthen the community, improve outcomes for families, and ensure every member of the network has the tools, connections, and support they need — all while maintaining their own practice and autonomy if they desire.

At Graceful Mama, we believe every family deserves access to education and support, no matter their circumstances. That’s why we’re in the process of launching a nonprofit branch dedicated to providing reproduction education, resources, and ongoing support at little to no cost for families in need.

By joining our network or supporting our mission, you’re helping us build a future where compassionate care is available to all.
