The Doula Collective of Grande Prairie wishes to raise awareness about the role of Birth and Postpartum Doulas in our community and the surrounding areas. We provide a referral service for women, and their families, and deliver continuing education to our members, health care professionals, and the public at large.
“
The presence of a Doula is a major advantage for physicians, the women and their families. They provide a level of support that is often very difficult to achieve in a busy maternity care service. We see increased satisfaction with the birth experience, lower intervention rates and excellent infant outcomes.” ~
Dr Michael Klein, award-winning & world-renown physician scientist, author & leader in the field of normal birth Our Mission Statement:
We are a non-profit organization that provides an expanding foundation of education and support for the birth community of Grande Prairie and the Peace Region.

The heart of the Grande Prairie Doula Collective is to raise awareness of current evidence-based information that encourages families during the childbirth years (including infant loss, pregnancy, birth, and post partum). We are a community-based collective that aims to collaborate with all birth workers to achieve a supportive birth environment.
