Community Doulas provides birth doula support and postpartum doula support to families throughout Maine.

Our birth doulas offer physical, emotional, and educational support before, during, and after labor — helping you and your partner feel prepared, informed, and confident no matter where you give birth.

Our postpartum doulas support new parents during the "fourth trimester," offering practical help, emotional support, and guidance as your family adjusts to life with a new baby.

We also offer educational resources for parents and doulas, community outreach, and mentorship opportunities for doulas-in-training.

Getting started is simple:

1. Reach out. Contact us through our website to let us know you're expecting and interested in doula support.

2. Free intake call. We'll set up a free, no-obligation consultation to learn about your needs, answer your questions, and help you find the right doula match.

3. Get matched. We'll pair you with a doula whose experience, personality, and availability fit your family best. You meet with them and decide if you want to move forward.

4. Begin prenatal visit(s). Your doula meet with you before birth, answer questions, and build a plan tailored to your needs.

We believe doula care should be a right, not a privilege. Here's what sets us apart:

Equitable pricing. Every family deserves support, regardless of income. Our tiered pricing ensures cost is never a barrier to care.

Volunteer-powered, community-rooted. Our doulas and mentors are 100% volunteers, driven by a genuine commitment to their community — not a paycheck.

Mentorship for new doulas. We don't just serve families — we grow the next generation of doulas, offering hands-on mentorship, training, and support to help new doulas certify and build sustainable practices.

A true community partnership. From printed materials in local offices to community outreach and education, we're embedded in the neighborhoods we serve — not operating from the outside in.

Support beyond birth. Our care doesn't end at delivery. We support families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum "fourth trimester," ensuring continuity of care during one of life's biggest transitions.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

Equitable Pricing, Because Every Family Deserves Support

At Community Doulas, we believe doula care shouldn't be a luxury — it should be a right. That's why we offer a tiered pricing structure based on household income and need, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to receiving compassionate, skilled birth and postpartum support.

From the moment you reach out, you'll be met with warmth, not judgment. We start with a free intake call to get to know you and understand your needs, then match you with a doula who feels like the right fit — not just on paper, but as a person you feel comfortable with.

Throughout your pregnancy, your doula will check in regularly, answer your questions, and help you prepare for birth — whatever that looks like for your family. When labor begins, they'll be by your side, offering steady support, comfort measures, and reassurance every step of the way. And once your baby arrives, that support doesn't just disappear — your doula continues to help you navigate those early, tender weeks of postpartum life.

Working with us means having someone in your corner who listens, who shows up, and who treats you with the dignity and respect every family deserves — regardless of income, background, or circumstance.
