I found my love and passion for supporting families and children in 2002 when I began my career as a Nanny.  I would frequently found myself supporting newborns/infants as a Nanny and chose to transition to a Newborn Care Specialist officially in 2021.  As of 2023, I have supported over 30 families with their childcare and newborn development. In order to bolster my experience and skills, I sought educational opportunities that specialized in newborn/infant care.  I have completed course offerings from Newborn Care Solutions in both Foundational and Advanced levels and am an Elite, CACHE certified NCS; along with being a trained doula and working on my certification for lactation counselor, I continue learning and growing my knowledge through safe sleep courses and many other trainings pertaining to newborns. I look forward to hearing from you to see if I am a good fit!

Hello everyone, my name is Julia Unger. I am a certified birth doula and lactation counselor! After having my own children I became especially called toward helping other women in the perinatal space! My style is rooted in autonomy and advocacy. I believe your voice matters—you’re allowed to take up space, ask questions, and make choices. This is your birth, and you deserve to birth in the way that feels right for you.

I’ve known Julia as a fellow student in my program Lactation Consultant Launchpad (where I also act as a Student Advisor) and she already made a such an impact. She eagerly covers shifts that are available and is always one of the first to step up if it is needed. It really speaks to her character and who she is as a person! Dependable, thoughtful and such a gem to the birth and lactation space. To know Julia is to be so lucky! You will be in wonderful hands.

I have been working with breastfeeding moms and families since 2015 and have been an IBCLC since 2023. My passion lies with helping new moms find a way to make breastfeeding work by offering compassionate, holistic solutions to breastfeeding issues. My specialties are with supply issues (both low and over) and pumping/flange sizing. I have special training in tongue ties and oral restrictions, low milk supply, clogged ducts, bottle refusal, and pumping. I love working with moms in every stage of breastfeeding from pregnancy through weaning and helping you meet your goals.

Her calm, encouraging approach empowers parents to feel confident and supported in reaching their feeding goals. Highly recommend!

It's important for the dads out there (or dads-to-be) to understand the significant value that Beth brings to the experience: If this birth is your first, it's hard to know what exactly the "right" support is supposed to look like at a given moment (there is a lot to remember, after all), and if it's your third (as it was for this dad) the extra care and attention present-in spite of it being a familiar process-meant a richer and more focused one for what we expected to be our last pregnancy. Ultimately, whether you're an anxious newbie or seasoned vet, having a coach in the room (who is NOT also your laboring wife-trust me fellas, you do not want that...) means that mom feels heard, dad feels led, and needless stress is kept to an absolute minimum. Beth's sweet, caring, and consultative demeanor will surely equip any expectant couple with the tools to enter their next chapter with poise and a strong sense of direction. In addition, Beth's postpartum care was exquisite, and one could argue that it's as important for the dads as it is for the moms. Thank you, Beth!

Greetings! I'm Karisa Totah, a certified birth doula and postpartum doula (through DONA International). I'm also Spinning Babies trained and a Body Ready Method certified Pro. I live in Littleton, CO with my husband, near my best friend and her babies. I serve the Denver Metro area, usually within 25 miles of my home. Birth, babies, and parenting have been a life-long fascination of mine, even since I was little. I nerd-out over the smallest baby and birth details and absolutely adore helping and learning from each new family I meet. I firmly believe that both the research and my experience support the idea that doulas reduce anxiety. The birthing year can be such a stressful one if you don't know what to expect, don't have the support you need, and don't have people watching out for you. I love filling in the gap to educate and empower, support and love, encourage and help you find joy in this journey. My motto is: "Replacing anxiety with courage, fear with knowledge, discouragement with hope, and overwhelm with joy."

I want to take a moment to share just how grateful we are for our doula, Karisa someone who has become one of the most important people in our entire journey to becoming parents. From the very beginning, she showed a level of patience, compassion, and understanding that is rare to find in this world. During my wife’s pregnancy, my father was dying, and I spent a lot of time out of state. By the time he passed, I had only two months to prepare myself to become a dad emotionally, mentally, and practically. It was one of the hardest periods of my life, and Karisa stepped in with the kind of guidance and support I didn’t even know I needed. She taught me everything I needed to know with kindness and positivity. She motivated me, encouraged me, and made me feel capable at a time when I was overwhelmed. She didn’t just show up as a doula she showed up as a leader, a teacher, and someone who genuinely cared about our family. When the day finally came for our son to be born, Karisa was absolutely incredible. She was on point from the first moment, bringing calm, clarity, reassurance, and real hands-on expertise. She made every part of the birth easier, more comforting, and more understandable. I truly cannot imagine going through that experience without her. She played such a big part in making the birth of our son a beautiful, positive, and empowering moment. And her support didn’t end there. After our son arrived, she stayed with us for many hours, helping, teaching, explaining, and making sure mama was taken care of. Her presence brought so much peace and confidence during a time where everything was brand new and overwhelming. Karisa didn’t just help with a pregnancy and a birth — she helped shape one of the most important chapters of our lives. She kept everything on track from the very beginning, helped us grow into our roles, and gave us the tools and support we needed when we needed them most. We are forever grateful for her. She truly is the best. 💙

Hi! Im Chrystal. Thank you for being here! I’m a DONA-certified birth doula dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care to families throughout pregnancy and labor. 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 60 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. 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!!

Like the Juniper tree, resilient, adaptable and evergreen, your feeding journey deserves steady, natural support. At Juniper Lactation, a highly skilled, board-certified lactation specialist is here to help families find confidence and calm through personalized lactation care. Sarah has 17 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist and is certified by the American Speech-Hearing Association, licensed in the state of Colorado and an internationally board-certified lactation specialist with specific training in complex infant feeding and tethered oral tissues. Sarah also experienced a difficult feeding journey as a mother with her own son’s tethered oral tissues.

Recent review

Our daughter was a NICU baby with a complicated history who came home on a feeding tube. I had always planned on breastfeeding her, but once we were home, it felt like the problems kept piling up (oral aversion, thrush, tongue tie, severe reflux, and more), and that goal began to seem out of reach. Despite my own training as an IBCLC, I was anxious and overwhelmed, and my main objective shifted to getting her off the feeding tube by whatever means necessary. We were incredibly fortunate to find Sarah in the thick of it all. She has extensive experience with medically complex infants and with both breast and bottle feeding. She was confident she could help us, and her support never wavered. Step by step, we peeled back the layers of why feeding our baby was so complicated, and we slowly began to make progress. One day, our daughter woke up and began taking full bottles, almost out of the blue. We were overjoyed and in disbelief. What followed felt truly miraculous. About 12 hours after her first full bottle in two months, she breastfed like she had been doing it all her life. From that moment on, she was exclusively breastfed, and we never looked back. When I returned to work a few months later, she had no trouble taking a bottle, and she continues to breastfeed at 16 months old. I truly believe that without Sarah’s expertise, our daughter would have required a long-term feeding tube and breastfeeding would never have been attainable. We will always be grateful for her support during one of the hardest times of our lives.

Having Carson as my doula had a massively positive effect on my pregnancy and delivery experiences. She provided me with educational resources and was always available to answer my questions and to calm my fears. I started my pregnancy not having the confidence to give birth unmedicated, but she continually supported me and helped me realize that I could do it. She was instrumental in helping me have a positive labor and delivery experience. I felt more in control with her there, since I knew she would make sure my wishes were being followed even when I couldn’t speak for myself. She also checked in with me after I gave birth to see if I had any questions or needed any help navigating life as a new mom. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is pregnant. Carson is a truly gifted doula.

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!

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. :)

My name is Becca and I am currently available to provide my services as a night nanny. I have 10+ years of childcare experience as well as recently trained to be a Newborn Care Specialist. All of my CPR and first aid certifications are up to date. I am also a mother to 3 young girls which has given me a vast amount of knowledge regarding newborns! Along with my knowledge and experience, I most importantly just love caring for babies and helping support families during the early months of parenthood.

Recent review

“Becca was our full time, 40 hours per week nanny from 2021-now. We have a 4 year old and 19 month old twins that she cared for. She also helped around our house with other childcare tasks like laundry, tidying and dishes. She helped with sleep training for all 3, bottle weaning, solid food transition, potty training, you name it! Becca is the absolute best child caregiver. She takes care of kids as if they are her own. She listens to what I think is best for our kids but also offers advice which is a hard balance to find, and one we haven’t found with other caregivers. She has done plenty of overnight care with our children in addition to consistent weekly care. Becca is calm, nothing seems to rattle her, which is great especially when I was in the thick of post partum and struggled. I would truly recommend her to any family.”

I am birth an postpartum doula. I have been a full time doula for a little over 2 years. Supporting over 50 families in their journeys to parenthood. I love everything about my journey to supporting families, from learning about the whole family, setting routines, snuggling the littles and of course helping and supporting the new parents. I am a mom to 4 and 5 beautiful grandchildren. Our family is not the traditional kind as our family has participated in adoption, step and biological parenthood. But to us those title are only in place to explain the craziness of the ages of the children 😉. Can’t wait to hear your vision for your future and support you with compassion , love, honesty, and knowledge.

Lori is an incredible doula and person. She supported us for several weeks with postpartum, overnight care. I feel like she saved me during that period, allowing me to rest and recharge, which allowed me to be a better morher. Lori is compassionate and lovely - she really does take care of your whole family. Our senior dog loves her! I plan to use her services again should we have another child, and would whole-heartedly recommend other families reaching out to her!

Recent review

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.
