Each year, World Doula Week begins on March 22nd, aligning with the spring equinox—a time of renewal, growth, and new beginnings. It’s a symbolic and powerful way to recognize the incredible work of doulas around the world. Running through March 28th, this week is dedicated to uplifting the essential role doulas play in the birthing journey—from prenatal support to postpartum healing.
At Aulisa Medical, we are proud to stand alongside you—birth keepers, space holders, and trusted guides—as you continue to change outcomes and transform experiences for families.
Why Doulas Matter
The presence of a doula has been shown to improve birth outcomes significantly. With doulas involved, research shows:
- 28% fewer cesarean deliveries
- Shorter labor durations
- Improved breastfeeding success
- Higher satisfaction with the birth experience: (NIH Study)
Your work is more than support—it’s prevention, empowerment, and advocacy.
Doula Care Is Expanding
Across the U.S., states are beginning to recognize the value of doula care by expanding Medicaid coverage to include your services (Georgetown CCF). This is a critical step toward equity in maternal health, especially in underserved communities disproportionately affected by maternal morbidity and mortality.
Supporting Doulas with Smart Technology
To further your mission, Aulisa Medical offers a suite of Guardian Angel® systems—FDA-cleared, wireless vital sign monitors that provide real-time data on heart rate and oxygen saturation. These tools are designed to work with you, not around you.
With Guardian Angel®, you can:
- Monitor postpartum clients from a distance
- Help families feel safe during those fragile early weeks
- Add value to your services with proactive, tech-supported care
- Build trust through innovation while staying rooted in compassion
As we celebrate World Doula Week, we want to say thank you—for every hand held, every calming word, and every powerful act of presence. You are not only supporting birth—you are shaping the future of maternal care.
We’re here to support you, because when doulas thrive, families do too.
Happy World Doula Week! 💙
