A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible. At the Boston Birth Village, we offer birth and postpartum doula services. You are in great hands with one of our doulas by your side!

Research shows that women who use a birth doula are: 31% less likely to need Pitocin 28% less likely to have a cesarean birth 9% less likely to use any pain medication and overall, more likely to rate their childbirth experience positively

Midwives have medical training and can offer services such as IV, prescribe medication and administer medical exams. A doula’s focus is on supporting the mother throughout the birthing process in a more hands-on way, such as through comforting touch, counter pressure, breathing techniques, emotional support and by sharing evidence-based information and advocacy. Doulas and midwives often work together as a great team!

In our role as doulas, we help pregnant people and their partners to achieve the birth they want by supporting their wishes and goals. We don’t make decisions for our clients or expect them to give birth in any particular way. We give our clients the information they need to make educated birth choices and support their decisions so they can have the most positive birth experience possible.

Meet the Village is a free social event that we offer throughout the year. Expectant couples come together to socialize, connect, and learn about our services. We believe the key to improving outcomes for parents bringing home a baby is starting to build community and resources before baby arrives. Attending a Meet the Village is a perfect way to start finding your village!

Absolutely! This program can bring you friendship and solidarity whether it's your first or your fifth baby.

Yes, moms typically bring their babies to the mom's groups, and dads are welcome to bring their babies to the dad's groups too!

Our daytime dad's group meets at Temple Emanuel, 385 Ward Street in Newton.
