About the DCC
For Parents
What is a Doula?
/ˌdo͞olə/
noun
Ultimately, a doula is a companion who offers dedicated support when major life transitions are underway.
The DCC’s 4 Pillars
Peer Support
We support one another through guidance and holding space. We discuss, share, and provide constructive feedback for collective growth.
Community Partners
Doulas are one part of perinatal care. Chiropractors, Midwives, and Pelvic Floor Therapists are just a few examples of other professionals we work to connect with.
Business Development
Contracts, billing, and taxes. Oh My! Learn how to grow a successful and sustainable business that will benefit the doula, the parents, and the community.
Self Care
The mom holds the baby and the doula holds the mom, but who holds the doula? We hold you so that you can continue to do what you do without burning yourself out.

Who We Support
Doulas
The primary purpose of the DCC is for us doulas to support one another, to be supported and support our doula sisters. The more support we have, the better we can serve the families that hire us. Starting your doula practice, being on-call or even childcare can be very challenging but we don’t have to do it alone. We are here and we are stronger together.
Families
We are so glad you found us! We know that welcoming a new member into your family can be both exciting and overwhelming at times. It is our goal that no matter where you are in your journey, you always feel right at home with the Doulas Care Collective (DCC). Explore our directory of professional doulas to find the right doula for you, your birth, and your baby.
Perinatal Professionals
When it comes to pregnancy, birth and postpartum care, many professionals can be invloved. We are all on the same team, YOUR team. Here at the DCC, we thrive to build bridges a.k.a. a network of caring experts so we know where you can find the help you need.
Community
When we support families, doulas and other perinatal professionals we also support our community because it is where our heart is. We are right here, close to you. We don’t need to look very far to see individuals and families with the need to be supported and honestly we all need a little help and to be held at times. Based out of South Florida, we have our community at heart.
