Changing the picture of maternal health care, one birth at a time.
The American maternal health care system is marked by deep disparities, inadequate support, and poor outcomes, particularly for Black and Indigenous birthing people. We are working on making it better.
The maternal healthcare system in the United States continues to deteriorate, presenting challenges at the core of Haven’s mission. Our goal is to reduce interventions that cause physical and emotional trauma for birthing people, though we serve any birthing person who desires doula support, we focus on supporting birthers of color who face disproportionately higher rates of trauma during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum and face barriers to accessing basic care.
50%
In America, nearly half of new moms label their births “traumatic.”

"Their team of doulas provided a calming, supportive environment from the start, listening to my concerns and helping me understand the VBAC process. Their expertise and reassurance eased my fears and empowered me throughout my pregnancy. Haven for Birth remains a constant source of support. I attend monthly Lactation Huddles, where I receive guidance on breastfeeding and connect with other parents. Their care has made this journey as a mom so much more fulfilling, and I’m endlessly grateful for their impact on my life."

The American birth care system is failing us
The American maternal health care system is marked by deep disparities, inadequate support, and poor outcomes, particularly for Black and Indigenous birthing people. We are working on making it better.

In 2024, one of the most advanced and wealthiest nations in the world is in the midst of a soaring maternal health crisis. This is the deadliest to give birth in — especially if you are Black. The healthcare and medical insurance systems that are supposed to care for mothers, birthing people, and families are failing us.
