Help The Doula Lab Furnish Our New Office & Build a Home for Birth, Education, and Community. We’re Growing — and Moving!

We are thrilled to announce that The Doula Lab is expanding into a beautiful new office at 6608 W Main St, Suite 2, Belleville, IL!

This space will serve as the heart of our mission to educate, advocate, and empower every birth — and every stage of life. It’s not just an office — it’s a community hub where science meets compassion, where families are supported, and where learning never stops.

Our new office will feature:

✨ A Reception & Waiting Room that welcomes families with warmth and inclusion

A Doula & Lactation Room for personalized postpartum and feeding support

A Simulation & Birth Lab for hands-on doula and midwifery training

‍♀️ A Relaxation Room with massage chairs and wellness therapies

A Community Resource Room stocked with diapers, wipes, and newborn essentials

A Teaching Office & Meeting Space for classes and workshops

Lifelong Education: From Puberty to Menopause

The Doula Lab will also host comprehensive health and wellness classes that span every stage of life:

Puberty & Body Literacy

Fertility Awareness & Family Planning

Pregnancy & Childbirth Preparation

Postpartum Recovery & Parenting

Perimenopause & Menopause Wellness

We believe education is empowerment, and every generation deserves access to accurate, inclusive, and compassionate reproductive health information.

A Message from Charity

“The Doula Lab began as a dream to bridge education, advocacy, and community in maternal health. Our new office is the next chapter of that vision — a place where every person can feel safe, seen, and supported, from puberty to menopause. Your support helps us create not just an office, but a home for healing, hope, and generational change.”

— Charity S. Bean, CMA, CFSD, CLC, CHW, Student Midwife
