Serving the communities of Santa Barbara County from Ventura to Santa Maria, the Central Coast Doula Association is dedicated to the support and education of women and families in creating an empowering birth and postpartum experience.

Our main purposes are to provide a strong communication link between practicing doulas, the childbearing public, maternity caregivers and others interested in learning more about labor and pospartum support, and to facilitate continuing education for our members.

Our membership is made up of birth doulas and postpartum doulas (and some practice both), and community members who either offer services related to pregnancy, childbirth, general health & well-being, and postpartum needs, or are individuals who believe in the benefits of doula care and want to support our mission.
