Chico Area Doulas
I used to own and run the website www.chicodoulas.com.  In an attempt to streamline my own life, I have dissolved that site and added the doula information here.  All of these doulas are fabulously nurturing and excellent at their jobs.  They work independently and have varying degrees of experience, training, certifications, etc.  As such, they may have differing fees.  When choosing a doula be sure to ask for past references and any other information which would help you make your selection.  I provide this information as a courtesy to community members and local doulas, and as such, I cannot be held responsible or liable for the actions of clients and/or doulas.  If you wish to be added to this list, please contact me.
