Join the Companions Directory!

At Montuna, we’ve had the honor of crossing paths with incredible care companions over the years—and since 2009, we’ve also been training new ones through our Pregnancy Outcomes & Experiences programs, including birth, perinatal loss, fertility, adoption, and more.

We believe part of our responsibility is not only to train but to help connect companions to the communities that need them. This directory is our way of sharing the wisdom, skills, and heart of our wider community with others—while continuing to support companions with connection and mentorship.

We often receive requests for support across different regions or areas of expertise that we don’t directly cover—and we want to collaborate with you to ensure people are connected to the right care.

Here’s how it works:

  • When you fill out the Directory Interest Form, we’ll follow up for a short check-in to learn more about you and your offerings.

  • This conversation helps ensure alignment and creates mutual clarity—so we can make safe, thoughtful referrals and connections.

  • From there, you’ll choose whether or not to be included in our public directory.

  • Even if you don’t join the listing right away, we may reach out with referrals based on your expertise and region—and we’re happy to support that journey with mentorship if needed.

This isn’t just a list—it’s a growing network of care. If you feel called to be part of it, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s keep building a community where everyone finds the right support, at the right time, with the right people.
