MILK Doula Club
Build your business. Expand your impact.
Find your community.
A professional community created for doulas who want more than another networking group.
A home base for your doula business.
Whether you're just beginning your career or you've been serving families for years, the Club provides a place to meet clients, teach classes, collaborate with other birth workers, and grow your business alongside a supportive community.
Instead of meeting families in coffee shops or renting expensive office space, you'll have access to The Retreat at MILK Maternity, a warm, welcoming environment designed specifically for mothers, babies, and the professionals who serve them.
Most importantly, you'll become part of a growing network of doulas committed to improving maternal health in Houston and beyond.

More than a membership.
The MILK Doula Club was created to support independent doulas while strengthening the maternal health community.
The Consultation Suite
Available by reservation and designed for prenatal consultations, postpartum planning sessions, client interviews, virtual appointments, and other professional meetings.
The Community Studio
A nearly 900-square-foot education and collaboration space currently under development. The Studio already features climate control, finished walls, and cabinetry, and will become home to larger workshops, professional trainings, networking events, and community programming.
Until the Studio officially opens, approved classes and workshops will be hosted in the main living room within the Retreat.

Frequently asked.
Do I need to be certified?
We welcome certified doulas, doulas in training, and other maternal health professionals. Certain activities may require proof of certification, professional credentials, or liability insurance.
Can I teach my own classes?
Absolutely. Members are encouraged to submit educational workshops, support groups, and community events for approval. Some classes will be independently hosted by members, while others may become collaborative events with MILK Maternity.
Can I charge attendees for my classes?
Yes. Members may host their own paid educational events, subject to approval and availability.
Can I reserve additional time?
Yes. Members receive discounted pricing on additional Consultation Suite and Community Studio reservations beyond those included with their membership.
Can I use the Retreat whenever I want?
Reservations are required. Because the Retreat is also home to mothers recovering during the postpartum period, member spaces are available during designated hours and must be reserved in advance.
