Trust is central to Find A Doula. People looking for end-of-life support are often making decisions at a deeply sensitive time, so it matters that they can understand who they are contacting, what training they have completed, and whether their professional membership can be recognised.
A verified member is a doula whose profile can be matched against recognised external standards. On Find A Doula, verification is currently based on:
End-of-life doula work requires sensitivity, emotional maturity, clear boundaries, and an understanding of the practical and ethical responsibilities involved. Training helps doulas develop the skills and confidence needed to support individuals, families, and communities with care and professionalism.
Verification does not replace personal judgement, safeguarding checks, or a conversation with the doula. It is a trust signal that helps visitors identify members whose training or membership can be recognised by Find A Doula.
Verified members receive an automatic 25% reduction on their Find A Doula membership. Once your profile has been verified through the recognised verification process, your subscription is moved to the discounted verified member rate.
This discount is designed to recognise the commitment involved in completing relevant training and maintaining professional membership.
Please note: verification depends on the details supplied in your profile matching the details held by the relevant training or membership organisation.
