Divine Rhythm Doula & Wellness Foundation
Divine Rhythm Doula & Wellness Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing maternal and infant health equity, strengthening the doula workforce, and expanding access to compassionate, culturally responsive maternal health support. Through doula training, scholarships, mentorship, paid fellowship opportunities, maternal health education, and community-based services, we empower doulas to build sustainable careers while helping mothers and families access the support, education, and resources they need to thrive throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.
Why Our Work Matters
Pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period are some of the most significant experiences in a family's life. Yet too many mothers navigate these experiences without adequate education, advocacy, emotional support, or access to culturally responsive care.
At the same time, many doulas who are passionate about serving their communities encounter barriers to entering and remaining in the maternal health workforce. The cost of training and certification, limited mentorship, difficulty establishing sustainable businesses, and a lack of paid opportunities can prevent talented doulas from building long-term careers.
Divine Rhythm Doula & Wellness Foundation was created to address both challenges.
We invest in doulas while investing in families.
By strengthening the community-based doula workforce and helping families access services they might otherwise be unable to afford, we are creating a model in which doulas thrive, families are supported, and communities become healthier.
Our Mission
Our mission is to advance maternal and infant health equity by expanding access to compassionate, culturally responsive doula care and creating pathways for doulas to build sustainable careers within the maternal health workforce.
Through education, training, mentorship, scholarships, paid workforce opportunities, and direct support for families, we are working to build stronger families, a stronger doula workforce, and healthier communities.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every mother and family has access to respectful, informed, and compassionate support throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond - and where community-based doulas are valued, supported, integrated, and fairly compensated as essential members of the maternal health workforce.
What We Do
Develop the Doula Workforce
We help aspiring and practicing doulas develop the knowledge, skills, experience, and professional support necessary to build sustainable careers.
Our workforce development efforts include doula training and certification support, scholarships, mentorship, continuing education, professional development, business development, and paid fellowship and service opportunities.
Educate and Empower Families
Knowledge is powerful.
We provide childbirth education, maternal health education, postpartum support, breastfeeding education, support groups, workshops, and community-based resources that help families understand their options and feel confident participating in decisions about their care.
Finances should not determine whether a mother has access to compassionate support during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.
Through funded and subsidized doula services, we work to connect families experiencing financial or systemic barriers with trained doulas who can provide education, advocacy, emotional support, and continuity of care.
Build Community Partnerships
Improving maternal and infant health requires collaboration.
We seek to partner with healthcare systems, community organizations, maternal health professionals, public health agencies, funders, and other organizations committed to improving outcomes for mothers, babies, and families.
Together, we can build stronger connections between community-based support and the broader maternal health system.
