About Birth Doulas of Marin
Birth Doulas of Marin is a collective of well-trained birth professionals who have been serving Marin County since 1984, exclusively at Marin General Hospital. In that time the group has attended over 2500 births.
We have been warmly received by women and their partners using our services, and welcomed by the obstetrical community and the labor and delivery staff.

- We understand birth as a key life experience that the mother will remember all her life.
- We understand, through our training and experience, the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman in labor.
- We stay by the side of the laboring woman throughout the entire labor.
- We provide emotional support, physical comfort measures, and an objective viewpoint while helping families make informed decisions during labor and birth.
- We facilitate communication between the laboring woman, her partner and clinical care providers.
- We perceive our role as one who nurtures and protects the woman's birth experience.
