About Boston Doula Circle

Doulas Are Non-Medical Care Providers ...And That Is Our Superpower.

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.  

Join us in redefining birth support.

The early weeks of parenthood can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

RECEIVE the support you NEED

Lactation and Feeding Services

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.
