Open Heart Doula

Welcome to Open Heart

Open Heart Doula exists to display Christ’s love and strengthen families by serving women during pregnancy, childbirth and beyond through education, advocacy, and support. Our team is made up of mothers whose greatest desire is to help other women transition into motherhood with confidence and grace.

We believe that every birth is a story unfolding, that every little life is important and every mama is stronger than she knows.

February Fundraising Update

Dear friends and supporters, Thanks for checking in with us! We wanted to communicate some of what has been going on and some interesting things we've learned during the first half of this fundraiser. First, [...]

We became a not-for-profit ministry in the summer of 2015 in order to make our services available and affordable for all (“a doula for every woman who wants one” DONA International History and Mission). We believe that every growing family can benefit from the knowledge and experience of a doula, but found that for those that needed this kind of support most it was unavailable or not affordable. We wanted to find a way to meet those needs.

Many of our clients still pay full price for services and a portion of that fee goes back to help us to serve someone in need. After that, we rely on donor support to not only provide doula services but specialized childbirth education and programs that benefit the whole family.
