The Central Texas Doula Association aims to raise community awareness about the role of doulas, provide a listing of local doulas, maintain high standards within our profession and support doulas by providing continuing education and a peer network.
CTDA members work independently as well as collectively. Working with an independent CTDA doula offers the opportunity to build an intimate relationship with your birth support professional. That means you will receive continuous care from one individual doula throughout. Because of the nature of this relationship we encourage you to interview several doulas to select the one that best fits your needs. Working with a CTDA doula who is part of a collective offers a variety of opportunities that the collective can support as a whole. Typically doulas working for a collective are part of a rotation. We encourage you to always meet all doulas working within that collective and ask which ones are specifically on call around your due date. All doulas who are members of CTDA adhere and agree to a high standard of practice and code of ethics.
