WHO WE ARE
Mammissi Birth Services is an education-centered birthworker training organization preparing doulas, perinatal professionals, and families through culturally responsive, justice-centered learning.
We no longer operate as a doula agency or matching network. Our work now focuses on training, continuing education, parent education, and workforce development.

Community Members Say
Theresa R.
“I couldn't have asked for a better pregnancy, labor and delivery experience than the one I had because of Mammissi Birth Services! They are so knowledgeable, so kind, so accessible not just to you but to your support team so you're all ready when the big day comes.”
Janaisha U.
"I had the best experience with Cristina. I wouldn't have survived without her. I can't say enough amazing things about this team."
Abigail H.
"During transition and pushing, when I said I couldn't do it, she looked me in the eyes and said YOU'RE ALREADY DOING IT. Cristina is a 10/10 doula recommendation and I'm so thankful for her companionship during the labor and delivery of my second born."
