The Birth Market

The Birth Market is our online searchable product and service directory. Here you may rent space as one of our treasured shopkeepers. It is a sweet little market that features shops, schools and educational products, a wonderful place for new families and birth practitioners to unite, network and learn. Visitors at the Birth Market have direct access to your Web page and/or email address through hotlinks from your ad. The Birth Market search page receives over 5000 searches a month (as of June 2007).

FindaMidwifeToday.com/FindaDoulaToday.com is a professional services directory accessible through the Birth Market. In this searchable directory, you list your doula or midwifery practice. Visitors can search by geographic location (using two-letter state abbreviations) or specialization, for example, (homebirth, water birth, Hypnobirthing) in order to find your services.
