    The Moment Everything Changed 

    I remember feeling defeated and heartbroken as a birth worker.

    As a doula and childbirth educator, I poured my heart into supporting families. Yet when my clients didn't experience the births they hoped for, I found myself questioning how I could create a deeper impact. I was even ready to walk away from the work I loved.

    I felt families were looking for more than information and hands-on support. They needed an empowering partner—not another expert—to help them build confidence, navigate decisions, communicate their needs, and step into their own power throughout pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.

    I realized that the future of birth support would require a new set of skills—skills that could transform the experiences of the families I served and redefine my own role as a birth worker.

    That's when I discovered transformational coaching.

    I developed a groundbreaking approach that changed everything. I began witnessing those priceless moments every birth worker dreams of: clients standing in their power, trusting their decisions, communicating their needs, and approaching birth with confidence and clarity.

    Years later, those same transformational conversations evolved into a new opportunity for birth professionals: meaningful, billable perinatal coaching sessions that allow us to deepen our impact, expand the value we provide, and build more sustainable practices.

    More families were experiencing empowered births, and many asked me to continue supporting them through the postpartum period and their transition into parenthood.

    I knew I had discovered something that needed to be shared.

    I created Birth Coach Method to help more birth workers develop the skills needed for the next generation of birth support—combining exceptional doula education with transformational coaching to help professionals create deeper impact and sustainable careers.

    Today, more than ever, expectant and new parents are seeking long-term, empowering support. With the right training, you can become the birth professional who helps families move from uncertainty to confidence and navigate their journey into parenthood with greater trust and agency.

    Let's reinvent birth support—together.

    Medicaid is Rewriting the Doula Role—And Most Doulas are Missing it

    June 15, 2026

    Across the United States, Medicaid and other insurance programs are beginning to reimburse doulas. On the surface, this is a long-awaited breakthrough: recognition, access, legitimacy. But underneath that progress is a new structure that tells a deeper story. This profound shift changes everything about how we practice, how we serve, and how we sustain ourselves.

    Medicaid and other insurance don’t cover doula care as a relational, continuous service. We can't chart our on-call hours, and we can't be reimbursed for the time we spend with someone's fear, pain, or self-doubt, which are a part of the transformation we support. 

    We're being paid for units:

    • A set number of prenatal visits.
    • A set number of postpartum visits.
    • And one flat fee for birth attendance.

    That means something important:

    The system is placing more financial value on your perinatal visits than on your presence at the birth.

    Let that land.
