Welcome & Purpose

Welcome to Raya Health

Welcome to Raya Health

As a Raya Health doula, you are part of a coordinated care ecosystem supporting people through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, pregnancy loss, abortion, and surrogacy-related care.

Raya exists to stay with people, especially during moments when care can feel fragmented, rushed, or overwhelming. Your role is central to that mission.

This handbook defines:

  • Your role and scope of practice
  • How doula care fits into the broader care team
  • Documentation and communication expectations
  • Safety, ethical, and compliance standards

This handbook is designed to support you and protect you, not burden you.
