I have spent the last fifteen years as an educator and education researcher. During my pregnancy, labor, and delivery, a fire inside of me was ignited, inspiring me to shift my focus toward supporting others through the transformative journey of birth. The strength, resilience, and empowerment I experienced during that time fueled my desire to help others navigate their own childbirth experiences with knowledge, compassion, and unwavering support. In 2025, I completed my Birth Doula and Prenatal Yoga Teacher training with BEHELD in Boulder, Colorado where I learned from Haley McNabb and Jessica Fawcett, two wise and magical birth doulas. I am excited to join a long tradition of women supporting women during one of their most profound life experiences.

Kendall was an absolute god-send during our pregnancy and birth journey. As first time parents, we felt SO lost starting our pregnancy journey. The lack of dedicated support in the system was so apparent right away, and we began our search to find the compassion , emotional support and care we needed , esp for me as a first time mom! Our first discussion with Kendall made us feel so comfortable and like there was such a personal connection , Kendall was so knowledgeable and so committed to ensuring that I would have the support I needed thru every step of my pregnancy and post-partum. She was someone that I immediately knew I could trust and be comfortable around and want her there with me every step of the way, including during my delivery. Kendall provided support and assistance throughout my pregnancy beyond what I could have ever imagined. As someone who had an extremely difficult pregnancy with several hospitalizations, Kendall was there for our family every step of the way, helping us find new care when things with our existing provider weren’t going well, being by our side with several hospital stays and going out on a limb to be a vocal advocate for what was always best for me and our baby. Kendall went above and beyond after so many unexpected turns in our birth story, spent dedicated time visiting our baby in the NiCU at a moments notice when we delivered prematurely in an emergency situation, and was constantly there as a sounding board, resource , and 24-7 support system for our entire family. We have never felt so comfortable being open and honest with someone as we were with Kendall!! She is so passionate about her work, her families and the moms in her care, and it shows!! Whether we had a perfect pregnancy or one filled with the challenges and scares our family faced, We can’t imagine doing it or going through the journey without Kendall. You never know what resources you may need until you need them, and Kendall was there with us every step of the way. She will forever be a part of our family and our story, and we will be forever grateful for her. -The Schafferer’s: Lindsey , Marco and Marcel (our 35 week angel babe!)

Hi! My name is Dacia. I’m a birth doula in Denver, CO. I’m passionate about supporting women’s births with empowerment and compassion! ✨ I give expectant Moms and partners tools to advocate for their choices and provide comfort and guidance through this transformative journey. 🤍

I am so happy we found Dacia! As a first time mama, I really wanted to work with a doula that would help me confidently navigate labor, delivery, and the different scenarios (and decision points) we might encounter while delivering at the hospital. Dacia was such a positive part of our journey - from the minute we first met, I felt comfortable and supported by her. She was communicative and shared information and resources leading up to our birth, and made sure to address any questions and concerns my partner and I had. Dacia was calm and reassuring while we were laboring, providing physical and emotional support to me and my partner and helped me think through decisions as our birth progressed. Her calm demeanor and positive, compassionate attitude was such an important part of our big day. I'd recommend working with Dacia to anyone considering a doula!

Love Lactation,LLC Meet your Lactation Consultant Heather Cordova IBCLC I have been a lactation consultant for more than 13 years and have worked with families for over 30 years. I strongly believe that everyone should have access to professional care, and I am passionate about providing that support to families. Feeding your baby is a deeply personal experience, and I am dedicated to helping you reach your feeding goals. My approach is personalized to fit each individual’s unique path and special journey. Since earning my Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, I spent 29 years with the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, offering both nutrition education and lactation support. In 2011, I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and I have been in private practice for over 14 years. I am married, with two children, both of whom I breastfed for a full year. My daughter, now an adult, has significant special needs. When I was breastfeeding her, I needed extra care and professional support to reach my goals. Without that guidance, I’m not sure I would have been able to continue providing her with human milk. This experience drives my passion to ensure others have access to the same level of care and support.

First, I am a Christian; a follower of Jesus, and I believe in the miracle of life and the privilege of pregnancy, birth and motherhood as a natural and normal process. I am a certified birth doula through DONA International. My experience has been on the labor & delivery floor at Denver Health as a volunteer and staff doula, and I have supported 6 private births in the past year. I am looking to gain more experience as a private doula, specifically in the birth center and home birth settings, that is why I do not list hospital births as an option. In my private business I'm interested in working with women and their families that want to put in the work required to have an empowering and positive natural childbirth experience when there is no option for an epidural. By that I mean those who have taken classes such as Lamaze, Birthing from Within, Hypnobirthing and Hypnobabies or watched videos on natural childbirth from sources like Bridget Teyler or Mama Natural on YouTube. In addition , those that are committed to the regular exercises, routines and preparations that I believe are necessary for a birthing experience that won't leave you feeling traumatized. That's not to say a woman cannot decide on a natural experience, do no prep work and still have a positive birth without an epidural, because I've seen it happen, but it's rare. If you want to put in the work for a pregnancy and birth that will change how you understand yourself, your health inside and out, and give you a life long dose of empowering confidence that only the miracle of life can provide than please consider me as your doula to support that journey. I am happy to support families with multiple prenatal visits, birth, and a postpartum visit at the time of your choosing. Thank you for your consideration and congratulations!

I am also a certified Birth Doula through Birth Arts International, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, and Postpartum Ceremony Facilitator. I am passionate about helping individuals achieve optimal health, so that they can feel at home in their body.

Making the investment to have supported Postpartum care, especially from an Ayurvedic perspective was not just exactly what I had wished for, but I cannot FATHOM a greater gift for the health of our newborn child. I felt like a peaceful, supported, and loved Momma through the whole process which truly allowed me to be the most present with our newborn. Emily is an actual angel on earth. I only wish that every single birthing person had this type of postpartum support. Our little one is now 5 months old and I believe WHOLE-HEARTEDLY that his gentle, calm, and happy disposition is a result of the care and safety that I felt postpartum which allowed me to be fully present with him. Emily worked diligently and silently doing all of the big and little things that afforded us as a new family the maximum amount of time together to just marinate in our little love bubble. I didn't have to think (EVER) about what I was going to eat, or if I had hydrated enough, about eating the right things etc. Not only was my belly nourished, but she helped with postpartum massage, belly wrapping, provided a listening ear, and left me with so many helpful herbs, tinctures, and magical Ayurvedic potions. I am forever grateful for my time spent with Emily who I am sure will now be a lifelong friend. Thank you Emily! Infinitely! Your gift is something undeniable. We are FOREVER grateful. Love, Avani, Andrew, Rio & Suni

I’m a DONA-certified birth doula with over 30 years of experience in family advocacy and early childhood development. God led me to this work through the transformative births of my own four children, each one shaping my heart and deepening my passion for supporting others through this sacred journey. In 2020, I followed that calling and founded Mountains of Love Doulas to provide families with evidence-based guidance, emotional encouragement, and hands-on support. Now rooted in Berthoud, Colorado with my husband and our four kids, we soak up every moment we can outdoors—when I’m not holding space for another beautiful birth.

I can't thank Mary enough for all her help during my pregnancy and birth. She recommended stretches to help with debilitating hip discomfort during my third trimester (which totally fixed my issue in a week)! She also helped assist me in the unmedicated waterbirth I had prayed for. She was such a great advocate for me, and her encouragement and knowledge made all the difference. I couldn't have done it without her. Thanks, Mary! God Bless You! -Rachel W.

I’m a Loveland, Colorado-based mother of two wonderful boys, ages 4 and 1. My journey into motherhood began with a medically managed hospital birth, where support during labor and postpartum was limited. Navigating postpartum anxiety, depression, and nursing challenges as a single mother was a deeply formative experience. My second birth—a natural water birth at a birth center attended by midwives and a doula—was profoundly different. It was through that empowering and supported experience that I came to understand the incredible strength of the birthing body, and the vital role that informed, compassionate care plays in a woman’s journey. As I moved through this transformative chapter, I found myself drawn to learning more about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. I became passionate about the power of nurturing, evidence-based support during this sacred transition. That path ultimately led me to doula work, where I feel deeply called to walk alongside women as they move through one of the most powerful experiences of their lives.

My name is Rowan Hawkins (she/they), and I bring nearly three decades of living, working, and learning into my work as a Birth, Postpartum, and Death doula specializing with miscarriages and stillborn births. I am also a traveling CO notary public, folk harper, and mother of my one-and-only rainbow baby (who was born via medically necessary C-section). My career path has been eclectic—spanning universities, hospitality, medical offices, and finance—but in every role, I found myself drawn to supporting others, keeping things organized, and creating calm in the middle of complexity. I hold a bachelor’s degree in science with a minor in anthropology, and I’ve always been fascinated by the ways we care for one another. As a doula, I support: ~ Non-religious practices first ~ Skin-to-skin as much as humanly possible ~ Breast is preferred, but fed is best ~ Cesarean births are natural births ~ Abortion is healthcare ~ Vaccines save lives ~ Advocacy, knowledge, and empowerment for all ~ Death is natural and healthy to discuss I also encourage open-book business practices! Have a question about my pricing? Please ask!

As a dedicated midwife assistant and student midwife, I have cultivated a rich tapestry of experience in the realm of holistic birth work over the past ten years. My journey began with a deep passion for supporting expecting families through the transformative experience of childbirth, and this passion has only grown with time. Working as a midwife assistant, I have honed my skills in providing compassionate care and support to mothers during labor, delivery, and the postpartum period. I thrive on creating a nurturing environment where families feel safe and empowered to embrace the birth process. My holistic approach focuses on the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of childbirth, recognizing that each birth experience is unique and deserving of individualized care. In my role, I collaborate closely with midwives, offering hands-on assistance during labor, including comfort measures and support for the birthing person. I take pride in my ability to provide emotional reassurance and physical assistance, helping to alleviate fears and anxiety while fostering a positive birthing atmosphere. As a student midwife, I actively engage in my education, seeking out opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in midwifery practices. I understand the importance of blending evidence-based practices with holistic care, which allows me to support families in a well-rounded manner. In addition to my work during labor and delivery, I offer postpartum support to new parents, recognizing the importance of this transition. My postpartum care includes education on breastfeeding, newborn care, and emotional support as families adjust to their new roles. I am dedicated to empowering parents with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive during this critical time. With a decade of experience in holistic birth work, I am committed to making a positive impact in the lives of families, ensuring they have the support and resources they need to navigate the beautiful journey of childbirth and parenthood.

Hey there, I’m Carly, the heart and hands behind Sol Shine Doula Services. My path to birth work started with my own first birth experience—long, unsupported, and ending in a home birth transfer. I didn’t even know doulas existed then, but I know now how transformative the right support can be. Named after my first child’s middle name, Sol Shine was born from a deep desire to provide families with the warmth, knowledge, and care I once wished for. Now, I dedicate my work to ensuring no birthing person feels alone in their journey.

We found Carly very last minute, and I was honestly on the fence about whether or not I wanted to hire a doula. But after meeting with her, we instantly felt comfortable and knew she was the right fit. She’s kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful in her approach. Carly took the time to ask important questions and was sensitive to both past trauma and my neurodivergence, which made me feel seen and supported right from the start. Having her available throughout the tail end of my pregnancy to answer questions was invaluable. I wish we would have found her sooner so I could have benefited from her support and guidance for more of my pregnancy. When it came time for the birth of our first child, I can’t imagine having done it without her. She helped create the calm, peaceful environment I had hoped for and supported both my husband and me as we navigated the hospital experience. During labor, she was there for my husband as much as she was for me—gently guiding him on how best to support me and offering him reassurance, too. Carly made the entire experience feel grounded, warm, and empowering. We’re so grateful we had her by our side.

Hello! I stumbled headfirst into the birth world through a non birth related podcast. After hearing the host’s birth story I was awestruck. I needed to know more. The more I learned, the more I felt called to this work. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to reproductive justice, to birth the way they want to, and to be able to define their birth experience their way. Choosing your birth team is one of the most important choices you can make during your pregnancy. I completed my formal birth doula training with Childbirth International in 2024 but have been practicing since early 2023. What sets me apart is my background as an engineer. This background when combined with my birth doula training gives me the unique ability to take in information (the cues you are giving, your words and actions, your progression, your outlook on the situation, and the care providers words and actions) and move forward with a plan for the next few moments, and then reassess and move forward once again.

My mission is to hold a sacred space where I can support and empower individuals through the divinely guided transitions they choose to share with me.

I can't say enough about how blessed I feel to have Karee' as my birthworker. As someone who did all the things to prepare for childbirth and parenting, you're never really prepared, and with Karee's support, it's easy to remember I don't have to be. This has been an incredibly healing and empowering experience for both my husband and me. And I love that my son gets to spend time with such a talented healer in his earliest days. Her gifts are REAL. Get her if you can!
