Dawn Thompson

I’m not just a doula.
I’m your advocate.

I’ve spent over 23 years in the birth world watching families walk into one of the most transformative experiences of their lives completely unprepared — not because they didn’t care, but because the right support simply wasn’t there.

I founded ImprovingBirth to change that. I’ve worked on maternal health legislation, spoken on stages across the country, and helped thousands of families navigate pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. Now I’m back to doing what I love most: being your doula.
