What's the Cost of Hiring a Doula in Arvada, CO?

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.

Kristen Schneck

7 years of experience

Kristen’s passion for all things pregnancy, birth and parenthood began in 2008 when she had her first baby. Since then, she has become a mother of two, a yoga teacher, health coach, full spectrum doula, and lactation consultant. Kristen has a diverse range of experience having attended over 100 births in many different hospitals since completing her doula training with Birth Matters in 2020. She is honored to be invited to support you on your journey no matter where you come from or what your family looks like. Kristen is proud of the network of resources, care providers and relationships she has built with fellow Doulas, OBs, Midwives and Nurses in the Denver/Boulder area. Part of the leadership team of the Denver Health Doula program and a Community Doula with Elephant Circle’s Expecting Chances, she has been invited to speak, teach and attend birth related events seeking to improve the landscape of birth in our country and is always seeking to learn and grow. Pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding and parenting can be a lot to navigate. Kristen aims to support her clients with compassionate, trauma-informed, evidence-based, non-judgmental care. She holds space to address whatever comes up so families can show up to birth with confidence. Preparing you mentally, physically, and emotionally, she provides information, resources, guidance and advocacy to her clients as they navigate their unique adventure, helping them to feel empowered in their choices. When not with her own kids or working with clients, Kristen loves being in nature, traveling to new places, frolicking with her dog, swimming, hiking, biking, snowboarding, and surfing.

Hiring Kristen as our doula was the best thing I did for my pregnancy and birth. She made herself available throughout the final few months of my pregnancy via countless texts and phone calls prepared to answer all the wild questions I had about any symptoms or feelings. When I finally went into labor, none of us knew I’d be in it for a whopping 60 hours before my son was in my arms. I could go on and on about all the things she did to help get my son in an optimal position (there were many) but at the end of the day, she was just there for me. There for me when I thought I’d be having an unmedicated birth center birth. There for me when we had to have a c-section instead. And there for me after while I processed it all. She is amazing and I’d hire her again and again and again.

Gabi Spagnuolo

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.

Gabi is truly amazing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and wholehearted support. She’s incredibly skilled, but beyond that, she’s such a kind and calming presence to have in your home. She always knew what I needed before I even asked and made it possible for me to actually rest and recover without feeling stressed. I honestly don’t know what my postpartum experience would have looked like without her. I already told her I can’t wait to have my second baby so we can have her in our lives again!

Jamie Bergren

12 years of experience

I am a DONA certified postpartum doula and lactation counselor. Specializing in postpartum recovery, lactation, feeding and newborn care. I am also a FSI certified pediatric sleep consultant. I serve families newborn through 6 years of age, and help them navigate a variety of sleep concerns. I work in person and virtually. My services are approved and paid for through Carrot and Progyny.

My husband and I worked with Jamie in the fall of 2021, when our first son was born. We chose a 'virtual' package, with options for video calls, phone calls, and texting. This service was exactly what we needed, and I honestly cannot say enough positive things about Jamie in this review. Her constant advocacy for the health and happiness of our son (and therefore his parents!) was incredible, including acknowledgment, understanding, listening, asking questions, and providing thoughtful recommendations (solutions to try) or references (for example to other local providers) for us to use. She even connected us to other parents selling used baby gear to purchase products to try. Knowing she had my back was such a crucial part of our first few months, and now I tell everyone if there's one thing you do for yourself and your baby in the birthing process- it's to hire a postpartum doula. Everyone should be so lucky to have Jamie have their back, available for that phone call or text when you're having your toughest moments. The reassurance is invaluable. For us, we didn't feel we needed someone in our home in person, but we needed that number to call when we had questions, and that's exactly what the virtual package provided. We give Jamie ten stars, not five, and we highly recommend working with her!

Kali Montoya

6 years of experience

I am a highly skilled and experienced certified DONA postpartum doula, with a keen interest and comprehensive knowledge of a wide range of areas, including newborn care, lactation support, sleep coaching, and meal preparation. With years of dedicated service and commitment towards helping new parents navigate the challenging journey of parenthood. I have developed an unparalleled depth of understanding and empathy when it comes to the unique challenges that new parents face. I struggled with postpartum issues have only served to deepen her compassion and understanding, making her an exceptional source of emotional support and comfort to her clients. I take great pride in my work and I am passionate about empowering both parents to feel confident and capable in their role as caregivers. My approach is always personalized, and I take the time to get to know each family I work with, so that I can provide tailored support that meets their specific needs. In her downtime, I love spending quality time with my husband and two children. We are an active family, and we enjoy engaging in a wide range of outdoor activities, including camping, boating, playing sports and making memories together.

I cannot say enough good things about Kali. She came into our family like a shining light in a really dark time. Our daughter was 5 weeks early and spent time in the NICU and was on oxygen for 11 weeks, she had reflux and some other issues. I was exhausted and overwhelmed. When I first talked to Kali I burst out crying, and she was so calm and made me feel so comfortable. I loved having her in our home, and trusted that at night I could finally get some rest becasue I knew she was going to take amazing care of my baby. She checked in on me and was always asking how I was doing. She referred tons of services to us, including a physical therapist for our daughter's flat head. If she hadn't made the referral, we wouldn't have been able to intervene as early as we did. Kali and her team of doula friends saved us. Kali still keeps in touch with us, and has been such an amazing source of information and help. I'm crying writing this becasue she is such a wonderful person, cool, fun, and kind, and she helped me and my family so much, it was the best thing in a really hard time. I would recommend her 1000000% and the families that she helps are so lucky to work with her. :)

Raia Allen-Carrico

Hi everyone! I am a certified Doula through Rocky Mountain Doula (CD), a CAPPA-trained Postpartum Doula, and a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT). I live in the Denver Metro area and serve families there through home, birth center, and hospital births. I'm passionate about using my knowledge of anatomy and movement to aid in labor progression and pain management. Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated with pregnancy, birth, and everything child-care-related. In 2021, I became a personal trainer and specialized in pre/post-natal training. Once I learned about birth doulas, the rest was history! Guiding families through this sacred time is truly my calling. I love using my knowledge of anatomy and movement to aid in labor progression and pain management. I believe that with proper movement, education, and support, women can learn to trust their bodies and understand they were meant for birth. My birth philosophy is about preparing and supporting a woman's mind, body, and soul. Birth can be a powerful and transformative experience that every family should have access to. This is a family’s opportunity to have the birth they've always imagined and relish in the strength that was there all along.

laura rayford

Hello! My name is Laura Rayford and I am a DONA certified birth doula in the Bay Area. I am passionate about guiding birthing people with nurturing and empowering support; working together towards your ideal birthing experience. I have completed two birth doula trainings. One through Hospital Friendly Doulas (which has allowed me to work as a volunteer doula at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley, CA) and the other with Sierra Birth Institute (a training approved by DONA). Both provided me with invaluable information and numerous tools which allow me to confidently support birthing people and their families.Prior to working as a doula, I worked as a nanny for 15+ years. I have always been drawn to working closely with families and giving children the best possible care. For me, this naturally led me to doula work, helping new little people be brought into the world by their capable, brave and extraordinary birthing parent. I am excited and passionate about this work and deeply appreciate your considering inviting me into such a personal and powerful chapter of your life.

Laura was an outstanding doula both during the prepartum phase and the delivery. She was very responsive and attentive to our needs. She has shown extreme dedication and passion for the process of delivery, and has provided useful education, all the way through birth. We are so thankful she was there to help us, and has made our delivery as stress free as possible.

Yara Trevizo

4 years of experience

I’m a postpartum doula who shows up for families during the intense and often unpredictable weeks after birth. My own postpartum experience had its challenges, and it shaped the way I care for others. I focus on making sure parents feel supported, listened to, and not alone in it. Families tend to describe me as warm, steady, and easy to talk to. I bring a calm presence and real-life experience into each home. I live in Colorado with my wife, our almost four-year-old son, and our crew of dogs, so I understand the day-to-day realities that come with a growing family. I’m fluent in Spanish and English and care deeply about supporting families who don’t always feel seen or prioritized in this space. I aim to create an environment that feels respectful, comfortable, and inclusive. Outside of work, I spend time thrifting, getting outdoors, and cooking traditional Mexican recipes that have been passed down in my family. I meet families where they are, without judgment, and with consistent, thoughtful support.

Yara helped us so much in our journey! She was very flexible(especially since my last baby came two weeks early!) in arrival to the hospital in the middle of the night, bringing packed meals, and helping prepare space for our growing family. I felt so much support through her mentally and physically, because she was so welcoming and comforting. She was able to know exactly what I needed or may want and made the experience that much easier!

Alex Peterson

13 years of experience

Throughout my career, I've worn many hats, from barista to flight attendant to corporate professional. However, amidst all these experiences, one constant has remained: my passion for working with children. In fact, no matter what role I found myself in, I always made sure to continue nurturing my love for childcare by working as a dedicated nanny. My deep fascination with the intricate processes and environments that shape a child's life led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Human and Family Development. Exploring the profound impact of a child's early years further ignited my curiosity, eventually leading me to discover the incredibly rewarding world of doula work.

Hannah Tolar

I am a certified postpartum doula, and my goal is to help parents in their transition to parenthood by offering physical, emotional and mental support. Just as much as the baby needs to be tended to and cared for, the birthing parent needs just as much. As your postpartum doula, I will be there for you as you process this big life change with a steaming cup of tea, and some healing, nourishing foods. I will be there to help out with household tasks so that you are able to rest and recover well.

Hannah is wonderful. She was my post partum doula/ night nurse for both of my pregnancies and I could not recommend her more highly. She helped me feel supported and cared for and helped ease my transition into motherhood.

Melissa Reinhardt

Hi! I’m Melissa Reinhardt, the heart behind Riverbend Doula Services. Inspired by personal experiences of both love and loss, I embarked on this path to create a sanctuary where every family feels informed, respected, and genuinely cared for on their parenting journey. My mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based birth support that empowers you throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Through personalized education, emotional grounding, and continuous advocacy, I support birthing families in creating an experience that feels safe, respected, and aligned with their values. I believe every family deserves access to inclusive, respectful, and compassionate support — regardless of birth plan, medical needs, or background — and I am committed to cultivating a birth environment that honors choice, intuition, and dignity. I specialize in supporting high-risk pregnancies, families navigating fertility journeys, birth after loss, trauma-informed care, and comprehensive birth planning with strong advocacy. By honoring each person’s history, preferences, and unique needs, I tailor my care to foster agency, clarity, and safety.

After switching OBs midway through pregnancy we decided to find a doula for some consistency and comfort in the delivery room. What we got from Melissa was so much more. She supported us through unexpected changes, prepared us for possibilities we didn't know existed, and walked us through our options to help us make informed decisions when we felt lost. I honestly don't know that I could've made it through labor without her. She made it possible for us to be calm and mentally present for what otherwise would've been the most stressful and chaotic 14 hours of our lives. On the rare occasion she doesn't have the tools to help you, she has a connection who does. I reached out to her in tears with breastfeeding complications my first day home from the hospital and she had me on the phone with a lactation specialist in her network within an hour. When our last visit with her ended, we cried that it was over. Hiring Melissa was the best decision we've made, maybe ever.

Karee Augustus

I am Karee' (car)REE, ya' homegirl who just so happens to be, a full spectrum doula, energy healer, Level II Reiki Practitioner, and Womb Wellness practitioner. Also known as The Original Coochie Gangster of The OCG Collective. I've been blessed to do the work of the women—whether that's helping a woman reconnect to her womb through ceremony, supporting a mother and family through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, termination, and/or the grand transition we know as death. 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.

Karee is the kind of doula who will go the extra mile to support you. I found her just two weeks before I gave birth, and she immediately made sure everything was ready for a safe and positive birth experience. Karee provided gentle, skilled massages before, during, and after birth, which made a world of difference in my comfort and recovery. She also included yoni steaming at no extra cost, such a generous and nurturing touch. I felt supported physically, mentally and emotionally by her. Leading up to birth, she helped me feel prepared and confident. During labor, she stayed right by my side, encouraging me and ensuring I was coping well. Karee held space for all of it, the pain, the overwhelming changes, and the flood of feelings that come with becoming a mother. She truly recognized what I was going through and provide words of wisdom. I have said enough so Karee is the one.

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.
