The GBDN Directory is a trusted platform designed to connect doulas with clients, professional opportunities, and a supportive community. By becoming a member of the Georgia Black Doula Network, you gain increased visibility and access to valuable resources to grow your practice.
No! The Georgia Black Doula Network currently welcomes lactation consultants and perinatal mental health specialists dedicated to supporting birthing people.
Currently, we prioritize Black and Indigenous birth workers, as well as aspiring doulas, because we believe in a community-based approach to maternal health. We know what our communities need, and by uplifting birth workers from these communities, we ensure that care is culturally responsive, affirming, and rooted in lived experience. This approach is essential to addressing the maternal mortality crisis in Georgia and improving outcomes for Black and Indigenous families.
It is highly recommended that you have birth work experience prior to registering on the directory. If you are in training or exploring birth work, then please state this in your bio to alert potential clients about your limited experience. We believe in nurturing the next generation of birth workers to ensure long-term change in maternal health outcomes.
Simply fill out the registration form on our website, provide the required details, and submit your application. Once approved, your profile will be added to the directory.
There’s no set deadline, but the free first-year membership offer is limited, so we encourage you to sign up as soon as possible to take advantage of it.
Before your free year ends, we’ll provide details on renewal options so you can continue benefiting from GBDN’s resources and network.
