• Transparent and accountable to TDA members and board.

  • We resist systems that seek to control or dilute Doula work.

  • We believe Doulas must define ourselves and this work.

  • Operate under one unified mission to build strength for all Doulas.

  • Rooted in care, honoring culture, tradition, and lived experience.

  • Ensure that all Doulas — especially Black, Brown, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and rural Doulas have access to resources, reimbursement and recognition.

  • Cultivate new Doula leaders from all corners of the state.

  • Stand for truth, clarity, integrity and alignment with TDA’s mission.
