who we are
What Makes Us Different
At Doulas of Palm Beach, we go beyond standard doula services—we build relationships, teams, and trust. Our agency is proudly led by Ruth Kraft, a birth professional with over 25 years of experience in the industry. Every member of our team has been personally trained, mentored, certified, and hand-selected by Ruth to uphold the highest standards of care, ethics, and professionalism. We aren’t just an agency—we are a community of compassionate experts who support each other and the families we serve.
Our Philosophy & Policies
We believe that support is strongest when it’s built on respect, communication, and collaboration. That’s why our agency operates on these core principles:
Teamwork and Communication
Every professional on our team works in harmony, ensuring that communication between doulas, staff, and clients is clear and consistent. We’re committed to matching families with the best fit based on personality, values, and specific needs.
Personalized Packages & Flexibility
We offer a variety of packages designed to meet a wide range of needs—from single visits to full-service support. If your needs don’t fit within our existing options, we’ll do our best to create a custom plan that works for you.
Health & Safety Policy
We follow a strict sick policy to keep both our clients and doulas as healthy as possible. Your family’s well-being is our top priority.
Ethical Standards & Fair Wages
We’re deeply committed to ethical care and fair treatment of our professionals. We pay a living wage, value their time, and treat them like family—because they are.
Support for Success
We believe that when doulas are supported and thriving, the families they serve benefit too. We invest in the success of every professional on our team, because we know that shared success uplifts our entire community.
Care with a Greater Purpose
When you choose Doulas of Palm Beach, you’re not just investing in your own family—you’re helping others too. A portion of every contract goes back to Community Calling, our nonprofit partner organization dedicated to supporting new parents in crisis and expanding professional opportunities for birth workers.
Your support helps us provide training scholarships, emergency aid for families in need, and free or low-cost services to those who might not otherwise have access. Together, we’re building a more supported, more inclusive future—one birth at a time.
Client-Centered, Relationship-Based Care
We take the time to get to know each client and their family, so they feel safe, respected, and cared for at every step. Whether you want to choose your own doula or prefer a team-based approach, we’ll help create the support system that works best for you. Our clients are not just assignments—they are people we build lasting relationships with. We listen. We adapt. We care deeply. And we are honored to walk beside you on your journey.
