"It takes a village:" An innovative doula care collective model with Shakila Marando

Click here to send me a quick message :)

Over the course of the past couple hundred years, we've been progressively losing our intact communities. Instead of extended family and village style lives, most of us in the western industrialized world exist in nuclear family structures.

Some of that independence has been welcome; but there is also a tremendous loss of community care and support.

There is perhaps nowhere this loss is more palpable than in the childbearing years. Which is what Shakila Marando has felt compelled to address with her doula care collective, Doulas by the Bay.
