Birth workers, postpartum doulas, and collectives — all in one place.

Let's be honest
You didn't become a doula to chase invoices.

Between intake forms in a notes app, invoices going unpaid, and trying to remember which family is due when — the admin never stops. DoulaBub takes that weight off your plate so you can focus on the work that actually matters.

Everything you need

Built around how doulas actually work.

01

Every client. Every detail.

Data & Privacy

Your clients trust you with intimate moments.We don’t get casual about that.

Birth plans. Intake notes. A client’s address at 3am. Here is exactly what we hold, and what we will never do with it.

What we hold

  • Names, contact details, and addresses — encrypted at rest.
  • Intake notes, birth plans, and postpartum notes — encrypted at rest.
  • Invoices, agreements, and your calendar — walled off to your account by row-level security.

What we’ll never do

  • Sell or rent your client list.
  • Show ads to you or to your families.
  • Feed your notes to an AI model.
  • Make you ask twice to leave with your data.

Ready in 1 clickYours to keep

One click, and it’s all yours.

Not a support ticket. Not a 30-day wait. One button in your settings packages your entire practice — every client, invoice, note, and message — into a complete, organized backup file. Decrypted, timestamped, and yours to keep forever. Want it gone instead? Ask us to delete all of it.

This is a promise, not a compliance page. If we ever break it, email me directly — yves@doulabub.com. Yves, who builds DoulaBub. Read the full privacy notice.

From the community

Real doulas. Real stories.

Finally, something built for us

I used to track everything in Google Sheets. DoulaBub is the first tool that actually speaks doula — the intake forms, the invoice templates, even the calendar blocking for on-call time.

I got paid faster

I sent my first invoice from the hospital parking lot. Took two minutes. The family paid before I got home. That had never happened before.

Clients find me now

Three inquiries through the directory in my first month. Families I never would have reached otherwise. That alone is worth it.

Questions
we get a lot.

DoulaBub is a practice management platform built specifically for doulas. Manage clients, send invoices, run your calendar, collect testimonials, and get discovered by families — all in one place.

Free to get started — no credit card required. We're in open beta right now, so all core features are available for free. Paid plans for collectives, custom branding, and priority directory placement are coming later.

Yes. Client PII is encrypted at rest. Your clients trust you with sensitive information — we take that as seriously as you do.

Not at all. If you can send a text, you can send an invoice. We built it assuming doulas are busy and distracted — it has to be simple.

Collective and agency features are coming soon. Join now as a solo doula and your profile carries over when collective features launch.

Most doulas cobble together notes apps, Google Sheets, and Venmo. If that's working, great. But if you feel the friction — the missed follow-ups, the late invoices — it's worth a try.

The people behind it

Meet the founders.

DoulaBub was built by a doula and her partner — two people who saw the gap between the depth of the work and the tools available to support it.

Katya & Yves Gardiner

Katya & Yves Gardiner

Co-Founders, DoulaBub

Katya Gardiner

Katya brings the doula's perspective — she knows firsthand what it feels like to juggle client care and the never-ending admin that comes with running a birth practice. DoulaBub was born from her lived experience.

Yves Gardiner

Yves builds the technology that gets out of the way. His focus is on making every interaction feel effortless so doulas can spend their energy where it matters — with the families they support.

Your practice, organized. Start today — it's free.

DoulaBub handles the business side so you can stay focused on the families who need you. Open beta, free to start.
