About

Where we began…

Carrying forward the age-old tradition of women supporting women, Find A Doula is the original and longest serving doula directory in Australia.  Born in 2006, Find A Doula has connected mums with doulas for nearly 20 years.

Where we are now…

Wholly Australian, Find A Doula is promoting the Australian doula workforce by facilitating connections between parents and doulas.

From the most seasoned doulas to those recently qualified and doulas-in-training, we promote everyone.  Independent doulas or those affiliated with other associations are welcomed; we remain inclusive.

Where we’re going…

Our sights are set on revolutionising the accessibility of birth support services in Australia.  We’re on our way…..join us.

Find A Doula connects families with the support they need. We promote better outcomes for birthing mothers.

Doulas work from the heart.
It is not a "job". It is a calling that is given life through the Doula profession.

Hands-cross-heart

Heart

We believe in the heart of a Doula: they work from a point of passion. They do not work for show or to be observed – it is a calling.

Book

Support

We believe in the informational, emotional and practical support a Doula offers, empowering parents and parents-to-be, their precious babies and growing families.

Hand-hold-heart

Connection

We believe in elevating the role and value of Doulas in the community, and facilitating the connection between Doulas and families.

We believe medical and non-medical support services go hand in hand.

Woman-reading

Respect

We believe women want to feel in control, informed and respected throughout their pregnancy, birthing and early parenthood experience.

Woman-pregnant

Care

We believe all expectant and new mothers deserve help, guidance and care to step confidently into their motherhood roles – mothers will flourish when they feel secure and supported.

Baby-in-hands

Journey

We believe Doulas are an integral and beautiful part of the journey through pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Launched in 2007 by Lucy Bloom, Find A Doula quickly became the largest online directory for Doulas in Australia. “Re-birthed” in 2024, Find A Doula is a completely independent and family-owned website.
