Birth Doula
“Doula” is the Greek word for servant. We are trained to provide physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Evidence shows having a doula improves birth outcomes, but those who stand to gain the most from this support, often have the least access. We provide Doulas for no charge to families in need.

Childbirth Education
For as much as we know about birth, in general, we know very little about how any one particular birth will go. We offer Childbirth Education courses for families in and around Shawnee County. Check out our Online Course page for information about Online Childbirth and Breastfeeding Education classes available during COVID-19.
Community Connection
Topeka Doula Project is the place to go when you’re pregnant. At our new community home, you’ll find resources for all things pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. We host support groups, play groups, community expert presentations, and trainings. We make referrals to local resources and events so you connect with every opportunity for your family.
Trauma Informed CareWhen we talk about trauma informed care during pregnancy and birth, we recognize and understand trauma’s impact on a person’s experience during this time. We adjust our care by ensuring the pregnant person’s environment and experience is one that emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety.
