Once you register, you’ll receive a receipt to your email that serves as a confirmation. Then within 24 hours, you’ll receive a personal email welcoming you to the group and letting you know what to expect moving forward.

The group sessions will be held via zoom. We will email you a link each week so you can join our private virtual room — this often works without zoom downloaded but may work better if you can download it and create a free account. We also use WhatsApp for the group chat, which is also a free app!

If you register for the group and are not feeling like the group setting is the right space for you, I welcome you to reach out to us (themiscarriagedoula@gmail.com) so we can figure out a path forward. Our refund policy gives everyone the chance to try the group before deciding. The refund policy is if you withdraw prior to the second group call, you will get a 75% refund. Otherwise, on a case by case basis.

Over the five years of The Miscarriage Doula, we’ve learned a lot about what helps our community feel safest and most supported. When events are free, we lose the ability to thoughtfully shape the group and protect the kind of space we work hard to create. We also keep our groups intentionally small, and charging helps ensure that spots are held by people who are able to attend and engage, so we can offer the level of care and connection you deserve.

Fees for our offerings also directly support our work and our family. We give generously of our time whenever we can, but we aren’t able to offer everything for free. Thank you for understanding and for valuing the care behind this work.

If you need financial support, fill out this form here — we promise that you’ll always get support no matter what.

Your moderator is our founder, Arden Cartrette who is a fierce advocate for reproductive health, a miscarriage educator, bereavement doula, and loss mom.
