The Herstory of Developing Doulas: A Legacy of Love and Community

Описание: Since 2007, Developing Doulas has been more than just a training course—it’s been a movement, a family, and a beacon of support for those called to birth work. In this heartfelt documentary, we celebrate the community, resilience, and profound impact of DD through the voices of those who have shaped it.

Founded by Maddie McMahon and Linda Quinn, Developing Doulas has trained over a thousand doulas, nurturing a philosophy of self-love, lifelong learning, and radical care. This film captures our journey, the stories of our teachers and graduates, and the enduring spirit of a community that continues to hold space for birthing people and their families.

✨ Watch, share, and celebrate our herstory with us.
