About us

Montreal Doula Collective, provides free doula services and advocates for women and holistic birth. MDC assists expectant parents going through difficult situations, ranging from poverty, to new refugee claimants, or simply to being alone and without support during their pregnancy. The goal of MDC is to make clients’ birth experiences as joyous as possible by providing support, resources, and companionship.

 

The childbearing year is a time of vulnerability and significant transition. Many people face barriers to accessing holistic care within the current healthcare system. This can leave them feeling unsupported and isolated. Montreal Doula Collective aims to address these gaps.

The advantages of having a doula are well documented (see Klaus and Kennel, New England Journal of Medicine) and other studies cited at Dona.
