Scottish Doula Network | You, your birth, your baby, your choice

Formed in 2001, the Scottish Doula Network (SDN) is an informal collective of birth and postnatal doulas. We all work closely with parents, and each other, using a wide range of skills and techniques to support all aspects of birth work.

Every SDN Doula is dedicated to combining compassionate, individual care and holistic practise with evidence-based research and information. We strive to be reliable, nourishing, sensitive, flexible, non-judgemental, empathic, practical and protective of your birthing needs and wishes. We are passionate about informed choice and will work with you and healthcare professionals to support your individual preferences.
