Nova Scotia Doula Association

The NSDA is a Canadian non-profit association that supports the growth and education of the doula profession in Nova Scotia. We are dedicated to providing educational opportunities for doulas, as well as increasing awareness among the public and healthcare communities about the positive effects of doula care, both at the birth and during the postpartum experience. We strive to make the presence of a doula during labour, birth and the postpartum period, a common occurrence in Nova Scotia.
