Full Spectrum Doula

A Full-Spectrum Doula (FSD) offers physical, emotional, and informational support to people throughout their lives, whether or not they are pregnant.

A FSD can meet up with anyone who has a cervix, no matter how they self-identify.

Full-Spectrum Doulas are also trained to support individuals and families through all pregnancy outcomes, including abortion, miscarriage, and adoption.
