Doula Circle Meetings

Doula Circle update:  

We'd like to thank Laurel Coates for her time and energy in facilitating the East Bay Doula Circle meetings and list for the last several years. Without the dedication and expertise of women like Laurel this forum would not be possible. Thank you also to Laurel's family for supporting her supporting us, we know she's a busy mother, wife, doula. Thank you! 


The East Bay Doula Circle is currently seeking a new facilitator for our monthly meetings. Future meetings will be held at Acorn Wellness Center, Oakland, CA. Please check back soon for updates. We are planning on having a June meeting. 

For more information please e-mail Felicia Roche @ doula@att.net
