Every month the Doula Services Association hosts DOULA CHATS.

The meetings happen through ZOOM so that our members from all across the province can join us. 

Each meeting has a different topic to be covered, as well as gives our members an opportunity to connect with each other. Past topics include: home birth, miscarriage and abortion support, making doula life sustainable and more. Upcoming topics include: understanding the psychology of branding your doula business, understanding biological sleep norms, and gentle birth.
