Organization: Dou-Bro’z

Patrick Hutchins is the founder of Dou-Bro’z, a Doula service for Fathers in Pheonix, Arizona. His experience of being a single Father seeking, but not finding help led him to create Dou-Bro’z LLC, which addresses many issues of Fatherhood pre and postnatal, helping men navigate their own hormonal changes during pregnancy and postpartum, and understanding how both parents are affected emotionally as well as physically during pregnancy. Dou-Bro’z was created in 2018 as a support system for Fathers, teaching them the intricacies of childbirth and sharing their knowledge as trained Postpartum Doulas. Dou Bro’z often work hand in hand with the doulas supporting the Mothers. Their goal is to arm Fathers with knowledge of self, awareness of Mom, and preparedness for Baby.
