Welcome to Boston Doula Circle! Our founding members helped launch the national and local doula movements over 20 years ago. Since then, we’ve been at the forefront of empowering families with evidence-informed support during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and lactation.

A common definition of a doula is a “non-medical care provider” during birth and postpartum. (This is meant to distinguish us from modern midwives and doctors, who provide medical supervision during birth.)
However, that definition does not fully shed light on the role of a doula as advocate, comforter, and wisdom holder for the rite of passage that is new parenthood.
At Boston Doula Circle, we view birth and postpartum as peak life experiences to be truly celebrated, not just endured. Since we won’t be performing surgery or administering drugs, we’re always working at fully developing our own superpowers.

The early weeks of parenthood can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Our postpartum doulas provide hands-on newborn care, emotional support, and practical assistance, helping you adjust to life with your baby with confidence and ease. From infant soothing techniques to meal preparation and light household chores, we are here to nurture both you and your growing family.
One of the top reasons new families can struggle with nursing or feeding is due to a lack of necessary guidance and support. In nearly all cases, it’s possible to feed your baby in a way that is pain-free, provides them with abundant nourishment, and is truly meaningful to you. Our goal is to help you resolve challenges swiftly and successfully, so you can spend your time loving your baby and the process of feeding them.
At Boston Doula Circle, we believe that every expectant and new parent deserves access to expert guidance, no matter where they are on their journey.
Our live, interactive workshops are led by experienced doulas and lactation specialists who provide practical tools, emotional support, and evidence-based education to help you feel confident and prepared for birth, postpartum, and infant feeding.
