ABOUT US
THE CENTRAL TEXAS DOULA ASSOCIATION
Serving the greater Austin Area, CTDA aims to raise awareness about the role of doulas, provide a listing of local doulas, maintain high standards and ethics within our profession and support doulas by providing continuing education, professional development and a peer network.
The Central Texas Doula Association acknowledges the disparities in perinatal healthcare in for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ families. We are committed to serving our community with doulas who have pledged to continuously examine the role we play in perpetuating oppression within marginalized groups. We will uphold the responsibility to provide perinatal care that is steeped in the understanding of these specific issues and addressing implicit biases.

Why should you choose a CTDA doula?
You can feel confident you have chosen a doula who will handle your needs in a professional, responsible, and ethical manner. Central Texas Doula Association (CTDA) doulas have agreed to the organization’s Standards of Practice and Ethics Statements and are bound to those agreements upon membership. CTDA doulas receive continuing education, professional support, and share community resources through our organization. CTDA doulas come from varying backgrounds, training, and experience levels, but they do share the same mission in caring for families in the perinatal period.
