Agencies Creating Sustainability For Doulas w/ Hillary Melchiors
In this episode of the Birth Boss podcast, I'm sitting down with with Hilary Melchiors, owner of the Doula Group of Evansville, and fun fact, the only certified postpartum doula in a 75 mile radius of her! This brings up some differences in the way we started and currently run our agencies, which is somewhat dependent on our geographical location, which turned into a highlighting a huge benefit of agencies that is rarely talked about... providing sustainability for doulas.
We discuss how being a doula has evolved over the years and how now, with insurance coverage and employer benefits, the importance of certification is more apparent now than ever before. This brings up the a deeper conversation about the need for better doula training and community building within our profession and why collaboration over competition wins every time.
