Purple Daisy Award

The Purple Daisy is an award honoring the doula providing excellent, compassionate and skillful care to the families we serve.

We invite you to nominate your doula. Once a year, nominated and selected stillbirthday doulas will be announced as winners of the Purple Daisy Award.

Purple Daisy doulas get to wear the logo on their profile page, and receive a sweet charm pin that can be added to a stillbirthday doula ID badge.

Nominate a Doula for Purple Daisy Award

You can email your stories to heidi.faith@stillbirthday.com. Follow along our facebook page to see our announcements and to let us know about your special experience with a stillbirthday doula.

As paraprofessionals with the desire to serve families, we Birth & Bereavement Doulas® often come alongside and join healthcare teams. Some of the finest care team members within the healthcare industry hold the honorable “Daisy Award.”

The Daisy Award was established by the Daisy Foundation by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, their adult son, who died. His family was so moved by the level of care shown by his providers, they established a Foundation to continue the legacy of incredible service, and, of acknowledging incredible service. You can read this brochure about the Daisy Award.

Stillbirthday doulas have worked alongside many Daisy Award nurses, and we’d like to challenge ourselves to the highest level of compassionate, skillful care we can provide.

*Stillbirthday is not affiliated with the Daisy award or the Daisy Foundation. We simply want to draw attention to the Daisy Award as a bar of excellence we all professionals should rise to, and the Purple Daisy award serves as a parallel distinction for doulas.

Tell us about your stillbirthday doula.

The Daisy Award by the Daisy Foundation holds an important acrostic (diseases attacking immune system), and likewise, the Purple Daisy Award holds an acrostic. You can use this acrostic for a little inspiration as you find the words to tell your story and nominate your stillbirthday doula for this award:

D – Doula (of course)
A – Advocate
I S – Intimate Support
Y – for You
