Welcome to DOSA—Sibambene
Where mentorship, community, and professional growth come together.
A Home for Every Doula
The doula profession in South Africa is growing, evolving, and becoming more diverse and dynamic than ever before. At Doulas of South Africa (DOSA), we’re here to support that growth—building a community where every doula feels valued, supported, and empowered.
We know that stepping into birth work can feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t see yourself reflected in the industry. Whether you’re just starting out or have been serving families for years, you belong here. DOSA is a place where doulas from all backgrounds and walks of life come together to learn, grow, and uplift one another.
DOSA is more than just a professional network—it’s a community. Our members support one another through mentorship, collaboration, and shared knowledge, creating a space where new and experienced doulas alike can find connection, guidance, and opportunity.
We work to ensure that all doulas have access to the recognition and professional opportunities they deserve. Through partnerships with medical aids, industry advocacy, and community-driven initiatives, we’re helping doulas step into their power and build sustainable careers in birth work.
TRULY INCLUSIVE SUPPORT
Every family deserves a doula who meets them with respect, understanding, and compassionate care. That’s why DOSA doulas commit to upholding a high standard of ethical and professional practice—not just as individuals, but as a collective working to elevate the profession as a whole.
We believe that by supporting doulas, we strengthen the entire birth landscape in South Africa. Together, we are ensuring that families receive the care they need, from doulas who represent and understand their unique journeys.
