Feel supported in labor—with a partner who knows how to help.
Daddy Doulas helps you prepare together with practical video lessons, hands-on support techniques, and printable guides for labor, birth, and postpartum.
He Wants to Help. He Just Needs to Know How.
Most partners don’t walk into birth knowing how to time their words, ease discomfort, recognize what’s happening, or advocate when plans change.
That doesn’t mean he won’t be a wonderful support person.
It means he needs preparation, too.
Daddy Doula teaches your partner how to remain calm, useful, and connected throughout birth—without expecting him to become a medical expert or memorize an entire textbook.

Hi, I’m Maddy!
I’m a childbirth educator, doula, lactation counselor, and mom of three. But the reason I created Daddy Doulas starts with my own first birth.
I knew a lot about birth. My husband Spencer didn’t—and we hadn’t really talked about what he could do to help.
He actually threw up while I was in labor. Yep. 😂
He loved me and wanted to be there for me. He just needed someone to show him how.
And I wanted him. His hands, his encouragement, his familiar voice. I wanted to feel like we were doing this together.
Before our next baby, we prepared differently. We practiced, talked through what I needed, and gave him things he could actually do.
That’s what I want for you, too.
I can’t be beside every family during birth, but I can teach your partner the support techniques I use as a doula—so you have someone you love beside you who feels prepared to help.
"This should honestly be required for every dad. We both felt so much calmer after watching together."

Is Daddy Doula Right for You?
You want your partner beside you—and you want him to feel prepared to help.
This course is for you if:
✓ You’re expecting your first baby or preparing differently this time.
✓ Your partner wants to help but isn’t sure what to say or do.
✓ You want practical support techniques you can learn and practice together.
✓ You’re preparing for an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, or planned C-section.
You don’t need identical birth preferences to prepare as a team. You need conversations, practice, and tools you can use together.
