Episode 59: Elizabeth Mosley on Trauma-Informed Doula Care and Policy Change

Episode Summary

Hillary sits down with Elizabeth Mosley, a birth doula and advocate working on systemic change in birth care. The conversation goes into the parts of doula work most listeners only see edges of: certification, policy, and the work of building professional standing without losing the heart of doula support.

We get into the specifics of trauma-informed care and what it asks of doulas in practice, the certification questions that come up across organizations, and the policy challenges in maternal health that need birth professional voices at the table. Elizabeth is direct and practical.

Useful for doulas thinking about systemic advocacy, and for any birth professional whose practice is touching policy questions whether they planned for it or not.
