Join us for our upcoming Doula Guide Post gathering.

If interested, sign up using the link in our bio.

This intentional mini-retreat is created for doulas who are navigating transition and looking for grounded, practical support in what comes next. Designed as a discussion-centered space, it offers time to pause, reflect, and explore how your practice may evolve within a field that holds many different paths.

Open to doulas of all training backgrounds and areas of care — birth, postpartum, loss, abortion, full-spectrum, hospital-based, community-based, and beyond. This space honors the many forms doula work can take and invites you to stretch beyond the boundaries of your original training through shared dialogue and lived experience.

Led by an experienced doula with both hospital and community birth experience, this gathering supports deeper clarity, sustainable growth, and expanded ways of offering care — while staying grounded in the values that brought you to this work in the first place.

Saturday, March 7th, 2026
11am – 3pm

We look forward to welcoming you into the next season of your practice.

We’re excited to announce that **Licensed Certified Professional Midwives (LCPMs)** are joining our care team!

An **LCPM** is a nationally credentialed and state-licensed midwife who specializes in out-of-hospital birth settings, like homes and freestanding birth centers. They are trained specifically in supporting low-risk pregnancies and providing evidence-based, relationship-centered care.

By bringing together **LCPMs and Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs)**, we’re expanding access to collaborative, midwife-led care that centers families, supports natural birth options, and honors your unique birth story. It’s truly the best of both worlds.

We’re proud to continue safe, community-based birth care in Chicago.
