What's a Doula?

​

​

 A doula or birth worker provides physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals before, during, and after childbirth. Doulas offer personalized care, helping families navigate labour and delivery with comfort and confidence. Their goal is to create a supportive, empowering environment, ensuring that families feel informed and cared for throughout their birthing journey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is the RDDA?

​

The Red Deer Doula Association is a registered non-profit society formed to provide doulas a place to connect, network and learn with each other while providing support through their own, individual businesses to families in Red Deer and Surrounding areas.

Disclaimer: The Red Deer Doula Association Doulas is a collection of individual doulas running their own businesses. We are not a certifying agency and therefore cannot suspend a doula’s practice. We ultimately cannot control what other doulas do or do NOT do, but if you have any concerns regarding a doula in the association, please contact us. We do have guidelines that our Doulas are to adhere to and follow. We are not a Governing body, simply a volunteer organization. The RDDA believes that the actions of one Doula do not reflect the association as a whole.
