Hi, I’m Melinda Mankins, founder of Parent Vortex, a birth and postpartum doula and Certified Lactation Educator. At Parent Vortex, I believe parenting is a balance of intuition and information. I help families navigate pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and the transition into parenthood through evidence-based education, practical support, and a mindset that focuses on confidence over fear. My approach is less “expert telling you what to do” and more trusted big sister walking beside you. I provide guidance, advocacy, and encouragement while helping parents tune out the noise, trust themselves, and make informed decisions that align with their values. My goal is for every family to feel supported, capable, and confident as they create the birth and postpartum experience they want.

Hello, I’m Gabi! A Birth Doula and Newborn Care Specialist changing the world by holding mothers, one baby at a time. As a certified Birth Doula and Newborn Care Specialist, my mission is to support families, offering science-based, compassionate and empowering care.

Hi, I’m Kat! A doula, parent, and the heart behind Meadow’s Blossoming Bellies. For the past few years, I’ve been home with my daughter Meadow, watching her grow into this bright, fierce little human who’s taught me more about life and strength than I ever expected. She’s the reason I stepped into this work. I want her to see that it’s never too late to follow your passion—and that women can lead, heal, and build something powerful, even in the messiest seasons of life. My path to becoming a doula didn’t start with a dream. I found this work through my own experiences of birth, trauma, and healing. Meadow was born six weeks early and spent time in the NICU. Our journey included feeding challenges, a g-tube, postpartum depression, and a long road to bonding. It wasn’t easy, but it cracked me open. It made me realize how much support matters. Not just medically, but emotionally, spiritually, and human to human. That’s why I show up the way I do—as a birth, postpartum, and sibling doula who’s committed to creating a space where people feel safe, respected, and never alone. I’ve taken a range of trainings, mentorships, and classes, but most of what I bring to this work comes from lived experience and deep listening. I’m here to walk with you through the unknowns—offering grounding support, honest conversations, and care that fits you. My work is rooted in connection. I meet each family where they are, honoring your values, your needs, and your voice. Whether you’re navigating birth, adjusting to life with a newborn, or preparing your older child for a sibling, I’m here to support the whole experience with presence and compassion. This work is sacred to me. Every story matters. Every birth matters. And you deserve someone in your corner who sees you fully. If any of this resonates, I’d love to connect and see how I can support you.

I thrive on empowering clients and advocating for their voice in their birthing journeys. Through my ever evolving doula career, I have supported families through grief, loss, and abuse. I serve families at home, in hospitals, and at birth centers. I strive for all families to have a positive birthing experience full of compassion, nurturing, and love. I offer birth services, photography, placenta encapsulation, and postpartum support.   My passion for birth and support were inspired from my own passage through birth and motherhood. Through my own birth experience, I was drawn to support others the way my doula cared for me. My passion for a positive birth journey fuels my model of care. In my free time, I enjoy spending time hiking and camping with my husband, two daughters, and dog. I loves yoga, music, and travelling.

I am a full spectrum doula certified through the National Doula Certification Board and trained through Allo Doula Academy. My specialty is postpartum and overnight care with an emphasis on sleep support. I have been working as a doula for over 23 years and enjoy working with new and growing families.

Hello! My name is Sara Sheehan. I graduated from the University of Texas in 2018 with a Bachelor in Fine Arts. As a queer person, I was still left feeling the need to do "more" for my community. In 2017 I found my passion for birth-work while looking for a sustainable occupation that would allow me to use my empathy skills to support my community. As it turns out, Doulas do just that! I'm a certified postpartum doula through Childbirth International, and a trained Full-Spectrum Doula through Doula Training International. Today my service as a Doula and my work as a painter have found a happy harmony in painting portraits of pregnancy, postpartum, and birth scenes.

I have two beautiful daughters, both of which I conceived thanks to charting my cycles! I would be honored to help you grow your family!

Being a doula became a huge passion of mine while I was pregnant with my first child. I find pregnancy, labor and birth the most empowering events in a new parent's life. Helping you achieve the birth experience you want is my priority. I will support you in any decisions you deem fit for your family. When I'm not raving about birth and birthing people, I am a huge nerd. I love being a couch potato with my husband or playing video games. I am also a mother of my beautiful daughter who was born in November 2021. My family is an extremely important part of my life. Being a doula is the most rewarding path I could have ever chosen to walk on. The birth experience is so important and I'd be honored to be there with you!

Hello everyone! My name is Misty. I’m a Birth doula, childbirth educator, and lactation educator. I love supporting families in and out of the birth room during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Hi! Im Chrystal. Thank you for being here! I’m a DONA-certified Birth and Postpartum doula dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care to families throughout their birthing journey. Based in Littleton, I share my home with my husband and our beloved Springer Spaniel, Fisher. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration from Regis University and previously worked as a nurse aide and a midwife’s assistant, experiences that shaped my deep respect for both clinical care and the natural wisdom of birth. I began working as a doula in 2022, earned my certification in 2023, and have since had the honor of supporting more than 100 families. I have attended births of all varieties including home births, VBACs, cesarean, unmedicated, assisted, and more. Outside of birth work, I love spending time outdoors; identifying plants, hiking, camping, or simply walking with Fisher. I love the warmth from the sun and the sound of birds, they give me life! You’ll often find me enjoying a cup of tea with a good book, exploring creative outlets, or spending an afternoon wandering through Barnes&Noble or World Market. My guilty pleasure is rewatching media I’ve already seen and love, or rereading old books that I can’t forget. I like to think of my role as a consultant, advocate, and fairy godmother all in one. I support you in achieving your dream birth by offering continuous physical and emotional care, helping you maintain informed consent, and empowering your instincts while holding space for this incredible experience. I also work closely with your partner, giving them the confidence and tools to provide meaningful emotional and physical comfort. I value organization, timely communication, and nonjudgmental care. My goal for my clients is a labor that feels peaceful, informed, and joyful. In the labor room, my focus is always on my client’s comfort and their overall goals for birth. I prioritize finding the balance between letting labor unfold naturally and offering suggestions when they can truly make a positive difference. I often joke that just because I know Spinning Babies doesn’t mean I’m going to “flip you like a pancake”—those tools are there when they’re needed, not as a default. To me, your intuition is VIP, and medicine is a powerful tool we can use when it supports your safety and your vision. Past clients have mentioned my calm, reassuring presence and my soothing voice helping to ground them in intense moments. When helping families get acclimated at home in the first few weeks, my focus is on ensuring that my clients get off on the right foot. I prioritize guiding both parents and baby through the new life they are adjusting to, helping build structure and workflows that work for each individual family. My top two favorite parts of attending births are feeling like I have helped, and the look on your face when you realize; “I DID IT!” Thanks again for being here and congratulations!

As a doula, I provide compassionate, personalized support throughout the birthing journey, focusing on both emotional and physical well-being. I use comfort techniques such as grounding breathwork, massage, position changes, and pain management tools to help create a calming and supportive environment during labor. I also prioritize emotional support by listening without judgment, offering reassurance, and holding space for whatever the birthing person is feeling. Partner involvement is an important part of my care—I help partners feel confident and connected, guiding them in ways to offer meaningful support so they can be present and engaged throughout the experience.

I am a Denver native, mother, massage therapist, certified full spectrum doula, doula instructor, mentor, and overall healer. I offer services for all individuals and birthing families. I have worked with children and families since I was a teenager, and I feel I have always been called into the development and healing of others. I’ve taught preschool, been a nanny, a college enrollment advisor, and now massage therapist and birth worker. As I have gathered these different tools, I realized that there was a huge need to bring holistic health and wellness to the forefront of BIPOC communities, which is where much of my work entails. My time as a doula AND massage therapist has been a truly rewarding experience, as I have had the privilege of building personal and authentic relationships with my clients and families. I enjoy using my knowledge, support, and touch to facilitate comfort in the mind, body, and spirit. I am excited to be pulled in whatever direction is within my purpose around maternal health and overall wellness within the community.
