Did you know that Medicaid finances about 41% of all births in the United States? 🤔🫄🏾

For doulas to be able to work with Medicaid clients and be paid for their work, they are asked to become either credentialed or registered with states.

📃Some states require approved training organizations that doulas must train with to qualify for Medicaid reimbursement.

If you are already a trained doula and DTI is an approved training for your state, you can take our Cross-Certification Pathway as a first step to becoming credentialed.

📃 Other states do not name specific organizations as a requirement, which means that they will accept you into their process if you submit any doula certification documentation.

These are not processes we are in full support of, however DTI must do what is best for birthing folks: expanding access to doula care is what we’re about. 💙

From herbal teas to nourishing broths, postpartum care is more than recovery. It’s nourishment, rest, ancestral wisdom, and community care. 🌿🍄

In this holistic workshop, doulas will learn how to:

🫚 Explore postpartum as a season of healing, transition, and community care
🫚 Discuss herbal education within the doula scope and informed referral
🫚 Consider comfort food as nourishment, cultural memory, and ancestral care
🫚 Honor ancestral and cultural practices without appropriation or overstepping

And so much more!

This workshop will be led by Mar Jones, founder of Ancestral Hands, a community-centered practice rooted in reproductive justice and care. Mar’s work weaves together birth work, bodywork, herbal education, harm reduction, and public health.

🗓️ Join us live on Saturday, August 15th at 6:30pm EST / 3:30pm PST. 🔗Link in bio to register.
