Insights, stories, and expert advice on doula care, maternal health, and parenting
One of the most overlooked comforts during a hospital stay is having your own clothing, especially a soft pair of pajamas. After the intensity of labor, changing into something familiar and cozy can offer a surprising sense of normalcy. It’s a small act, but for many moms, that first outfit change marks the beginning of recovery, a moment to breathe, settle in, and reconnect with yourself.
As a birth worker, my goal is not to advocate for one type of birth, but to support your birth. Whether you're preparing for a birth in a tub, a hospital birth with an epidural, or a cesarean with music playing and a doula by your side, I’m here for it. The language we use matters because it shapes the way we see ourselves and each other. So I choose words that affirm all birthing people, in all the ways they bring life into the world. Because every birth is natural.

Russian-speaking doula?) with specialists who’ve been personally screened for training and reliability. Families gain confidence; doulas gain visibility; better birth outcomes follow. Explore, match, and book—all in one place—at doulasisrael.com and start writing your birth story with choice and community at its heart.
Starting a business as a doula—a profession rooted in care, heart, and advocacy—brings its own unique set of challenges and rewards. If you're a doula (or dreaming of becoming one), you already know that this is more than a job. It's a calling. But turning that calling into a sustainable business can sometimes feel overwhelming. You're not alone. Every doula who's built their practice from the ground up has felt the same mix of passion, frustration, and hope.
