What is an Abortion Doula?

An abortion doula is a trained companion person who offers physical, emotional, spiritual and practical support for someone seeking an abortion. This could look like talking through the decision making process, finding an abortion provider close to your home or assisting you with processing your experience.

Abortion Doula support is for you if:

  • You feel unsure about whether a surgical or medication abortion is right for you 

  • You want help finding local practitioners or a clinic that makes you feel comfortable 

  • You need support finding the best resources and tools to support your body

  • You’ve already done a lot of research but haven’t connected with your body/heart 

  • You want to give yourself the most nourishing and supportive experience

  • You want to transform your abortion into an initiation

  • You want to share your experience with someone who has also had an abortion

  • No one should have to go through abortion alone or unsupported 

  • We are all entitled to make choices that feel the best for our bodies

  • Healing in community is more impactful than doing it alone 

  • When people are more regulated throughout potentially impactful experiences they can show up more deeply for themselves, their families and communities
