What we do
Doula Of Color
Trainings & Birthwork Collective
Birthworkers of Color Collective supports marginalized communities by providing full spectrum doula services that are accessible and inclusive. We connect pregnant/birthing/& postpartum individuals, their families, and larger communities with educational, emotional, and physical support through all pregnancy & postpartum outcomes. We conduct workshops and trainings to share knowledge, promote advocacy, build resources & expand the number of trained/competent/& culturally relevant doulas. As a collective we strive to bring our diverse skills, ancestral practices, and unique experiences to the people and communities that we support.
WHY US?
01
Culturally Relevant Training
We specialize in doula training that creates a safe and inclusive space for people of Color, and is grounded in culture relevance and competence. This foundation ensures we improve health outcomes for birthing people, infants, and entire communities.
02
Advocacy & Inclusive Support
Our work extends beyond doula services to actively address and advocate for Black birthing people and all marginalized communities - including undocumented individuals, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, non-English speakers, and teen parents - so they receive equitable access to prenatal care, resources, and positive birthing and postpartum experiences.
03
Community Centered
As a collective we are deeply rooted in the communities we serve, focusing on solution-oriented support that addresses the specific health disparities of communities of Color.
04
Climate-Centered Care
We combine reproductive health expertise with climate awarness and rapid response capabilities, equipping individuals with the tools and resources they need to provide care that is adaptive, holistic, and responsive to environmental challenges.
Doula Support
We provide inclusive support
to our communities.
As a collective of birth workers we aim to reclaim our medicine, share our knowledge with our communities, and heal. Together, we bring unique skills, resources, and experiences to our work as birth workers, healers, and people of Color. We provide sliding scale full spectrum doula services. After our initial consultation, our collective will make our best efforts to match you with a birth worker who fits your unique needs and identities.
What Is A Doula?
As doulas we provide compassionate and non judgemental support. We provide physical, emotional, and educational support for any and all pregnancy outcomes from abortion, loss, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. All of the members of our collective come with their own ancestral blood memory and knowledge, calling on and utilizing to help support you.
