WE ARE THE

Doulas Association of Southern California

DASC’s purpose is to continually advance the profession of birthwork.

A doula is a professional who provides emotional support, physical comfort, practical assistance, and non-medical care to people and families as they navigate a myriad of life’s transitions. DASC doulas focus primarily on experiences surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care.
