Who We Are
The Mary's Hands Difference
The Mary's Hands Difference
Mary's Hands Network is a 501(c)(3)nonprofit organization dedicated to the radical improvement of maternal and newborn health outcomes.
America's statistics around maternal and infant morbidity and mortality are absolutely terrifying. This is especially so in the south where low-income and women of color are 3-4x more likely to face challenges during pregnancy and childbirth. Doula support is an evidence-based source of hope and a catalyst for change! Research shows that doula support not only improves birth outcomes, it also increases breastfeeding rates, decreases cesarean sections, and increases satisfaction with birth.
Doulas offer culturally competent physical and emotional support, share important information, and advocate for a mother's wishes. They also provide prenatal and postpartum assistance, including childbirth education, anticipatory guidance, breastfeeding support, and much more.

Our organization has taken numerous unique steps to combat the growing disparities within the birth community.
- We provide clients with a team of 2-3 doula volunteers to serve them during this special time. Doula services are always FREE no matter the client's socioeconomic status.
- Our birth doula training is offered FREE* to those who join the volunteer network information.
- Our birth doula course meets the International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA) training requirement for certification.
- Training materials, course supplies, and lunch are provided for FREE* to all trainees during the course of the program. We want to remove any barriers potential volunteers may face in receiving training and becoming doulas.
*See the "About Doula Training" for more information on receiving free doula training.
"A doula is a warm body in the room who cares and that makes all the difference in the world."
