Something to Hold Onto
Our Mission
The Collaborative Doula Conference aims to unite those who support individuals and families through all of life’s transitions—from birth to end-of-life and everything in between. By bringing together caregivers from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and experiences, we foster community, professional growth, and shared learning. Through open dialogue, education, and collaboration, we strive to build a stronger, more inclusive network of support that honours the full spectrum of care.

Last year’s attendees are saying...
“ I just wanted to say thank you so so much for putting that conference on. I don’t think I fully realized how much I needed that until I got there. I have been struggling far more than I was willing to admit and just being able to surround myself not only with people who get it, but with people who have the knowledge and passion to help move me through. It was exactly what my heart and soul needed! Thank you, you’re incredible.” - Andrea (In-person attendee)
“As a newer doula, I felt so seen and heard. I felt like “wow I do have some of these tools” the imposter syndrome lessened a lot. I’m just very grateful and cannot believe I could experience something so far but still so intimately! Forever keeping all of the great wisdom, advice, and encouragement as I continue into this second year!” - Mytala (Virtual attendee)
