Doulas have been around since forever, helping birthing people to deliver and raise their children in a way that feels right to them. But recently, we’ve seen the role of the doula change, and not just because had a global pandemic. People are starting to recognize the gap we fill in the medical care industry and they’re inviting us to step up but with that recognition comes responsibility and regulation. Join me, Sabia Wade, as I lay out what this means to you and your business as a doula.

I share how I got into being a doula and the training I did – and chose not to do. You’re going to hear how becoming a doula split my spirit and what I did to help marginalized people access true reproductive justice. Then I talk about Medicaid reimbursements for doulas and how they’re not everything that they seem to be. Stay tuned to the end to hear what doulas can do to protect their role in healthcare and to be a voice for themselves and the people they work for.
