Doulas of Baltimore’s mission is to strengthen our communities. To do this, we focus our efforts on three areas:
1
Enabling Baltimore families to thrive through seasons of growth by providing exceptional care and support
Welcoming a baby into your family is one of the most profound changes you will ever experience. It affects every member of the family and every aspect of your lives, your work, your relationships, and your health. A baby changes everything.
Doulas of Baltimore believes that with education, collaborative provider partnership, and unwavering nonjudgmental support, this change can instead be smooth, it can be peaceful and enjoyable, it can be fulfilling.
We are committed to helping families thrive through this transformation, not just survive it.
We steadfastly guide Baltimore families through the transition from pregnancy to birth to parenthood with confident and comprehensive support. This is your child, your family, your growth. We are dedicated to helping you establish a solid foundation to thrive as the best parent you can be for your child.
Your child deserves your best, and that begins with a successful and confident transition into parenthood.

Creating fulfilling and sustainable career opportunities for doulas to serve in our community
We are proud to serve Baltimore’s families with our doula team’s collective deep expertise and steadfast support; to be trusted as the top collaborative doula partner to Baltimore’s most respected OBGYN providers; and to give Baltimore’s best doulas a sustainable opportunity to share their talents and support their own families in an effort to strengthen our community.
We are passionate about offering a competitive living wage to our doula contractors, as well as opportunities for continuing education, skill sharpening, mentoring, and team-building. To inquire about joining our doula team, visit the link below!
