Mighty Doulas Are Community

Thank you to Community Media Access Collaborative for supporting Mighty for 2025 PSA Week.

A Mighty Doula is a full spectrum support system that centers whole person care & wellness. Our diverse care team fosters safe and inclusive approaches to meeting communities where they are as a life cycle companion offering consent-driven guidance through advocacy and empowerment. This allows space for human error and a little bit of madness. We walk with you towards joy, safety, and belonging-- no matter the season. 

Mighty’s Full Spectrum Doula Services

Pregnant Youth & Young Adult Birth Doula Support

  • At Mighty, we offer continuous emotional and physical support for the pregnant parent through labor and the entire birthing process.

    In doula sessions, we prepare the pregnant parent with information, education, and options for their birthing and postpartum experience.

    We set up parents for success by informing them of their rights throughout the pregnancy and childbirth process. Our doulas help with postpartum care, such as lactation, as well as with community building around the parent(s).

  • Our Mighty Doulas support birthing parents in having a consent-centered, empowering birth experience.

    Topics we will cover include physiological childbirth, advocacy, birth planning, and basic feeding skills.

    Comfort sessions include gentle stretching, body balancing and prep for labor/childbirth, and pain management tools.

    Mighty Doulas also teach birthing parents how to utilize a birth ball & peanut ball, and different positions to support the labor process.

    Our doulas will attend the labor & childbirth to support the birthing person in whichever capacity they choose.

    1. Youth under the age of 26 (we accept agency referrals at any age).

    2. Residents of California.

    3. Medi-cal eligible or already Medi-cal/medicaid insured families. We accept Calviva, Healthnet, & Kaiser insurances as well. 

    A birthing person can receive doula care through their insurance throughout their pregnancy and for up to one year postpartum.

    Exactly how to utilize your doula sessions is up to you!

Bone Closing Ceremonies

A Bone Closing Ceremony is a traditional Mexican ritual that supports the birthing person’s postpartum healing and honors their transition to parenthood & changes they underwent through the pregnancy and birthing process. The ceremony supports the birthing person’s physical & emotional body, realigns their pelvis, and supports their healing body. Going through birth can be very emotionally and spiritually challenging, and the ceremony helps process and validate those emotions, find closure, and gain strength.

Elements of the ceremony include body work, herbs, rebozo wrapping, birth story processing & placenta honoring. Mighty Community Advocacy was taught this Ceremony from Tema Mercado, of San Diego.

Mighty Community Advocacy offers Bone Closing Ceremonies to community members that have completed doula services with Mighty Community Advocacy. Mighty understands that Bone Closing Ceremonies are a cultural practice and carries a deep reverence for this practice. Therefore, we offer Bone Closing Ceremonies to community members that we have a relationship with due to the intimacy & vulnerability of the ceremony.
