The Long Island Doula Association, Inc. is a multi-professional
organization operating on the paradigm that birth is normal.

LIDA provides evidence-based information and positive support for women in the early stages of motherhood, from conception through postpartum.

LIDA is passionate about supporting birthing families.
Through our "Community Support Fund" we are able to provide
professional support to families at little or no cost to those in need.
