BackBenefits of Membership
Regular General Meetings
Our meetings provide a common meeting ground to network and socialize with other doulas. They also feature exciting speakers on topics relating to the birth and postpartum periods.
The DSA Email Discussion List
Our email discussion list is a great forum to seek guidance and ask questions from experienced doulas and keep up to date on current events in the community.
Member's Only Section
The Member's Only Section of our website contains information on doula groups in your communities, mentoring for new doulas, archives of past newsletters, and much more.
The Kathie Lindstrom Education Fund
This fund is for doulas seeking financial support to obtain continuing education and attend events such as the annual DONA conference or the Douglas Collage Perinatal Education Day.
Referral Services
We have a referral line, online referral lists, and can also link your webpage off of ours. In addition, we have recently implemented a toll free number for our referral line to better serve doulas throughout the province.
The DSA Newsletter
Our bi-annual newsletter contains information on things like starting your doula business, tips of the trade, and highlights birth stories.
Getting Involved in your Community
There are many benefits in knowing that you belong to an association that is working to promote professional doulas into the community! The DSA is a "Volunteer Powered" organization, so members who donate their time and energy to our association are rewarded with lower membership fees. Please visit the Member's Only Section of our website to learn more about available volunteer positions.
