The Long Island Doula Association was founded as a result of doulas searching for additional education and professional growth.   LIDA, Inc. is  also passionate about looking for ways to enlighten the community about the benefits of having a doula before, during and after their birth.   We also want to empower the families we work with to make informed choices for their birth and postartum period.  LIDA Inc., is a multifaceted organization providing support for women in the early stages of motherhood, from conception through postpartum.   We gather to support one another in the work that we do.  We have monthly meetings and several educational speakers each year.  All meetings are open to the public for a $5.00 fee and free to current LIDA members*   LIDA Inc., welcomes anyone as a member who is working in the childbirth field to become a member, we're not just doulas, we are chilbirth educators, midwives, chiropractors, prenatal and postnatal exercise instructors, naturopaths, etc.
