Roots of Labor Birth Collective is pausing the active doula-client match process at this time in order to focus on internal restructuring for our collective's overall sustainability and longevity. Thank you for your patience, and know that we are still deeply committed to connecting folks in need of services with doulas who are available.

In the meantime, if you are seeking doula services please reach out to any of the doulas below directly for support.
