Welcome to our web site!

On this home page we'll introduce our group and highlight important areas on our site.

Tristate Doula Connection is composed of labor and postpartum doulas from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.  The doulas listed and linked to this site are from many different backgrounds and certifying organizations.  We are here solely to provide the family-to-be with the names of doulas in these areas.  It is up to the expectant mother and her partner(s) to interview and research the qualifications of the doulas they contact.  For more information on what types of questions to ask a doula when interviewing for qualifications, go to www.dona.org.  You can see a complete list of doulas in PA, NJ, DE on our "Find a Doula" Page.
