Birth matters. Postpartum matters. Families matter.

The Cincinnati Doula Network was created with one clear purpose: to connect families, doulas, and healthcare providers in our region. We believe that every family deserves access to high-quality, compassionate doula care—and that our hospitals, birth centers, and providers deserve a reliable way to connect with trained professionals who are ready to serve.

What We Do

The Cincinnati Doula Network is both a professional community and a public resource:

• For families: We offer a simple, accessible directory of doulas in the Greater Cincinnati area. Whether you’re preparing for birth or navigating postpartum, our directory helps you find a doula whose experience and approach feels right for you.

• For doulas: We provide a collaborative space for growth, continuing education, mentorship, and connection. Together, we raise the standard of care and strengthen the doula profession in our region.

• For hospitals and providers: We are a trusted partner. Our network creates an easy point of connection to vetted doulas, helping streamline communication, build trust, and ensure families are fully supported.

Why Doulas?

Research continues to show that having a doula leads to better outcomes for parents and babies. Families supported by doulas often report lower rates of intervention, shorter labors, higher satisfaction with their birth experience, and more confidence during the postpartum period.

But doulas do more than impact statistics. They walk with families through some of the most transformative moments of life—helping them feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Our Invitation

This blog will serve as a space where we share stories, resources, and updates from the Cincinnati birth community. We’ll highlight the work of our doulas, explore the latest in maternal health, and celebrate the families we serve.

Whether you’re a parent searching for the right doula, a provider looking to collaborate, or a doula yourself seeking community, you belong here.

We’re glad you found us. Welcome to the Cincinnati Doula Network.
