The Doula Expo by Mama Glow Returns!
These last few pandemic years- one thing many mothers -to- be and new mothers have been missing is support. The kind of support that is BIG. Arms wrapped around you, big love, information, stories that assure that you are not alone. Because you are not-there is a community out there that has you mama, and this is why we are excited that our favorite event, The DOULA EXPO by Mama Glow is taking place again in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, May 21st, 2022, at 25 KENT, in a 16,000 square foot space located in the heart of Williamsburg Brooklyn. The Doula Expo is a festival celebrating birth work and platforming businesses, content, and partners in the reproductive health and wellness spaces.
The Doula Expo is a gathering of 500+ doulas, birthing individuals, caregivers and families. Supplemented by brief keynote presentations, TED style talks, and breakout activities, the festival is driven by immersive, experiential booths and build-outs, and lounge spaces where our brand partners can connect with their extensive doula and parental community.
This year you can expect over 50 brands and organizations to represent at the 2022 Doula Expo by Mama Glow. In addition to doulas, caregivers, and families, this year’s festival will include a mix of influencers, celebrity stakeholders in maternal health, elected officials and more!
