Community Doulas provides experienced, non-judgemental doula support to low-income families in Maine.

Community Doulas provides free doula services to low-income families in Maine by connecting doulas with families in need. A doula provides physical, emotional, and educational support to their client. Doulas work with a family prenatally to prepare for the birth, stay for the duration of the labour (whether at home, in a birthing center, or at a hospital) and assist with the postpartum adjustment. Doulas encourage, normalize, coach and act as a living resource guide. They bear witness to the amazing transformation that birth is.

Last Sunday, the doulas of Community Doulas got together for our annual potluck gathering. We talked, we ate, we won prizes, and we got to connect as a community.
