📚 Join us for Book Club! 📚

This time, we’re gathering around a book that asks us to sit with some of life’s biggest questions:

What does it mean to love deeply?
To witness suffering?
To accompany someone through dying?
And to let go?

We’re reading Holding Space: On Loving, Dying, and Letting Go by Amy Wright Glenn, a deeply thoughtful exploration of grief, mortality, mindfulness, and the practice of compassionate presence.

And this one is extra special because Amy Wright Glenn herself will be joining us for our book club discussion! 🥹

Saturday, September 26th
10 AM–12 PM EST
On Zoom
Amy Wright Glenn will be joining us live

A little about Amy:
Amy Wright Glenn is an author, educator, birth and death doula, hospital chaplain, Kripalu yoga teacher, and founder of the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death. Her work explores the profound thresholds of birth, death, grief, motherhood, and what it means to be truly present with another person. She is the author of Birth, Breath, and Death and Holding Space: On Loving, Dying, and Letting Go.

This is a conversation for doulas, birth workers, death workers, caregivers, and anyone interested in the beautiful, complicated work of being with.

Come having read the book, bring your questions, your reflections, and your curiosity. There will be space for all of it.

Want to join us? DM us for the Zoom link.

We’ll see you there!

And that's The Collective difference 🫶🏻

You can learn a lot about a community by what it values.

The Collaborative Doula Collective isn't built around having all the same opinions, backgrounds, or experiences. It's built around something much stronger: a shared commitment to connection, curiosity, growth, and showing up for one another.

We celebrate each other's wins. We have conversations that stretch us. We laugh until our cheeks hurt. We make mistakes, learn from them, and keep moving forward. We believe community isn't something you find. It's something you choose to build, together.

Will it be everyone's cup of tea? Probably not. And that's okay.

But if you read those statements and thought, "Those are my people," we'd love to meet you! And we LOVE a good road trip, so just tell us where you are and we'll come grab a coffee (and maybe have a sleepover 😉)

There is something sweet about strawberry season.

It arrives after months of cold, reminding us that winter never lasts forever. The fields that once seemed empty become filled with sweetness, growth, and life.

The early postpartum season is similar.

It is tender. Transformative. Fleeting.

Many Indigenous communities know the strawberry as the heart berry, a symbol of love, connection, and gratitude. It reminds us to care for for another with open hearts, especially during seasons of transition.

And perhaps one of our favourite lessons comes from the berries themselves.

The tiny Wendy strawberries are often the sweetest.

Postpartum support works much the same way. It isn't always the grand gestures that families remember the most. It's the warm meal left at the door. The text to say, "I'm thinking of you". The load of laundry folded without being asked. The baby held while a parent showers in peace. It's the quiet presence that says, "You don't have to do this alone".

As strawberry season comes and goes, let it remind us that every season has its purpose. After every winter comes spring. After every long night comes morning. And with support, even the most tender seasons can hold incredible sweetness.

What is one small gesture that made a difference for you during postpartum? We'd love to hear your story in the comments. 🍓❤️

Be empowered. Be informed. Birth your way.

WTF Prenatal isn’t your typical prenatal class.

No scripts.

No one-size-fits-all advice.

No pressure to birth a certain way.

This is a real, raw, and interactive experience designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, working with a midwife, doctor, or doula…

this class is about your choices, your body, and your confidence.

Inside, we go deeper than the basics:
🌿 understanding your options (all of them)
🌿 building trust in your body and intuition
🌿 learning comfort measures that actually work
🌿 navigating informed consent and decision-making
🌿 creating a flexible birth plan that reflects you
🌿 preparing for postpartum, not just birth

Because birth doesn’t follow a script.

And there is no “right” way, only your way.

This is the kind of education that leaves you feeling grounded, informed, and ready, no matter how your birth unfolds.

✨ Join us from wherever you are

Private + group options available (in-person & virtual)

Today we're celebrating the IBCLCs on our team ♡

An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant is the gold standard when it comes to infant feeding support. From latching challenges to pumping questions, supply concerns, or more complex feeding journeys, IBCLCs bring both deep clinical knowledge and compassionate care to the families they support.

Feeding your baby isn't always easy and no one should have to navigate it alone.

We're incredibly grateful to have IBCLCs within The Collaborative Doula Collective who are dedicated to meeting families exactly where they are, offering guidance, reassurance, and support every step of the way.

We also thank them for answering our doulas questions and helping us trouble shoot with clients within our own doula scope. Collaborative care in it's truest form.

To our IBCLCs: thank you for the patience, wisdom, and heart you bring to this work. The impact you have on families is immeasurable.

If you're looking for feeding support, our IBCLCs are here to help. Send us a message to learn more about working with our team.
