About you
- You love helping people learn. Whether you’re leading a group, answering a patient’s question, or helping someone prepare for birth, you enjoy making complex information feel approachable, practical, and empowering.
- This is a relationship-based role. You’ll often work with patients over many months, becoming a trusted part of their pregnancy journey.
- Significant experience supporting families throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Experience supporting families in hospital birth settings is strongly preferred
- Extensive experience working directly with clinical care providers, including CNMs, RNs and OB-GYNs
- Excellent educator and communicator who enjoys teaching both groups and individuals
- Commitment to health equity, racial justice, and reproductive justice, and to supporting bodily autonomy and self-determination through informed, evidence-based decision-making
- Commitment to providing unbiased, patient-centered care that is grounded in current clinical evidence
- Comfort working within a midwife-led, hospital-based model that supports low-intervention birth where appropriate and evidence-based intervention — such as induction — when clinically indicated
- Eager to join a startup team that is collaborative and supportive of one another’s needs as we navigate a growing practice that is continuously evolving
Qualifications
- Completion of doula training or equivalent experience in perinatal education (Doula training strongly preferred)
- Skills/training in the following areas are a plus: bilingual, motivational interviewing, additional lactation certifications or training, prenatal nutrition training
- Experience working with a diverse population (racially, socioeconomically, educationally, BIPOC, LGBTQ, and individuals/families who have differences in their approach and philosophies to their care)
