The Texas Doula Association develops, supports, and advances the doula profession in Texas
We believe that doulas are valuable to all Texans. We work to ensure doulas have a voice in all decisions regarding maternity care, including and especially those governing our profession. Doulas work alongside medical professionals to ensure the family is centered in care, which leads to safety, trust, and better outcomes.
What is a Doula?
A doula is a professional that supports families through transitions like fertility, birth, postpartum, and end of life.
Doulas are trained professionals providing continuous physical, emotional, informational, and advocacy support to individuals and their families. While doulas are not medical providers, we are part of the care team—helping families with the support and education they need to make informed choices and providing referrals to certified and licensed professionals in multiple disciplines.
