Meet the Black Dad Doula

I’m Peter, a husband, proud dad, certified doula, and founder of Hey Black Dad. Wait, what's a doula? Great question. A doula is someone trained to educate and support families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum (afterbirth). Traditionally doulas are women, but here's the twist: I'm a Dad Doula. My mission? To help men like you become incredible birth partners.

Becoming a dad is exciting, but let's be real it can also feel overwhelming. Whether it's your first or your fifth, many dads face similar challenges:

• Wondering how to be present and make a difference during pregnancy and birth.

• Understanding how to navigate the postpartum period and recognize what your partner needs most.

• Not knowing where to turn for advice.

• Finding your place in a process that often focuses on moms.

• Figuring out how to truly bond with and care for your newborn.

• Balancing work, life, and new family responsibilities.

• Managing your own emotional and mental health while being a source of strength for your partner.

• Building confidence in parenting decisions and overcoming the fear of “messing up.”

I'm here to help you navigate it all and show up as the dad and partner your family deserves. Let's make this journey one of the most empowering and rewarding experiences of your life.
