“After the devastating nanny abuse case in the Bay Area, many doulas, including myself, were heartbroken and feared the erosion of trust in our profession. ADA stepped in decisively, openly addressing the issue and providing a transparent, regulated certification process. ADA's advocacy gives mothers a reliable platform to verify doulas and grants doulas the credibility and trust we need to continue providing compassionate, professional care.”
