About Saltwater Doulas, Perinatal Support Collective

Welcome to Saltwater Doulas Perinatal Support Collective, where friendship and expertise converge to create a safe, fun, and nurturing space for families and perinatal professionals alike.
With over a decade of combined experience in the perinatal field and after several years of managing and growing a doula agency under their belts, Alyssa and Ashley decided to take the autonomy of their business into their own hands and birthed Saltwater Doulas Perinatal Support Collective.
82 Main St. Amesbury, MA
The decision to establish the collective in the charming town of Amesbury, MA, was an easy one. Other than its beauty, charm, and strong community of new families, its central location to Saltwater Doulas' service range made it a no-brainer. The collective, as well as the doula agency, welcome families from MA, NH, and ME to join together to learn, build community, and thrive.
Driven by their commitment to collaboration and community, Ashley and Alyssa founded Saltwater Doulas as a hub for perinatal professionals and businesses to come together and support families during one of life's most transformative times. Their goal is not only to offer exceptional doula services and perinatal education but also to foster a network of like-minded professionals who share the dedication to supportive care and empowering families.
