Gainesville Doula Network

Happy Mother’s Day!

Alex is one of GDN’s founders and long time Gainesville doula. Alex has also been part of a doula initiative, training doulas to serve rural areas throughout Florida. Alex we celebrate you and your service to women and their families and your contribution in the building of GDN, your work in growing the doula population to continue and provide the care and access of doulas around our state and now we celebrate your service as a nurse and your continued work to care for mothers and babies. ❤️

The knowledge, skill, love our local midwives pour into their patients is a gift so witness. Thank you for all you do

World doula week celebrates the women who have been called as doulas to support women and their growing families. Women who listen deeply and meet families where they are as they welcome babies. We count ourselves lucky to walk alongside, provide education and support to women and their partners during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. Gainesville Doula Network is proud to be a part of the work of doulas in our community

You got this!
