We believe that all families deserve doula care that is matched specifically to their needs.
As non-clinical advocates, doulas provide education and support to parents. Doula care reduces unnecessary cesarean births, increases breastfeeding rates, and improves the experience of care for families. But more than that, they are a continuous presence, the same trusted and knowledgeable face who you see before, during, and after giving birth.
However, a doula can cost up to $1,000 in our area. Since private insurance doesn’t cover doula care, many who would benefit go without.
At the Flourished Spa we recruit trained doulas who has completed our mentorship program from the same communities as the families they serve. Thanks to the amazing work of the doula's community , comprehensive care is provided in eight different languages and is free of charge to families that receive Medicaid.

All of our doulas are compensated for the care they provide to families as a part of the Flourished Foundation program that supports traditional health care workers (THWs). To become a THW, doulas are required to complete training and an unpaid, hands-on internship. In the past, the flourished foundation doulas were provided trainings and a paid internship opportunities through the Flourished Foundation . Without those funds, community-based doulas would need to work without compensation to complete their internship.
Help expand the number of culturally- and linguistically-matched doulas in our community by filling that gap. If you can, please consider donating to cover the cost of a visit, a birth, or an entire course of doula care. Your gifts have a double impact: covering the cost of doula care for new families in turn makes it possible for the doulas to become self-sustaining in their work.
We know this is a tough time for many families. If you can, please consider donating today.
Here is how you can help
Your donations to The Flourished Company make it possible for doulas to complete their training and be compensated for their critical work. Also to support and provide funds and resources to mothers in need and doula's who are actively working in our community.
