The 2025 Indiana Doula Conference filled critical gaps by providing continuing education, peer support, and visibility for doulas in a state with rising needs but limited infrastructure. It kick-started a movement, elevating the doula profession and better supporting perinatal care in Indiana. This year, we're scaling that impact even further—anticipating over 100 doulas, nearly 50 community organizations, and several key sponsors coming together statewide. Through deeper programming, more collaborative opportunities, and broader stakeholder engagement, this year’s conference will up-level the vital role doulas play in equity-driven maternal health.
