Hi, I’m Nikki. I am Birth & Postpartum Doula and I come from a background in Public Health with special interests in Maternal and Infant Health! I believe the journey to parenthood should be empowering filled with support, advocacy, and education. I believe in collaboration when it comes to providing birth and postpartum support and that’s how we can best nurture the birthing person! In my free time, I enjoy being outside, reading, hiking, working out, traveling, watching movies and spending time with my husband and two kitties!

Working alongside Nikki has been such a joy. She brings an incredible balance of calm presence, evidence-based knowledge, and grounded intuition into every birth space. I’ve seen firsthand how her ability to really listen helps families feel safe, respected, and empowered in their choices. She navigates unexpected turns with grace and steady confidence, and her compassion is unmatched. I’m truly grateful to know her and to share this work with someone so dedicated to thoughtful, trauma-informed care. Any family would be lucky to have her on their team.

My calling is to walk alongside growing families with compassion, encouragement, and evidence-based support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season.

As a doula, I strive to create a calm and nurturing space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to make informed choices that align with your values. My approach blends holistic birth preparation with the emotional and spiritual support that faith-centered families often desire.

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.

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!

Recent review

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!

Hi, I’m Andrea — Birth Doula, Pregnancy & Postpartum Wellness Coach, Nutritionist, and Mama of Three.** Bringing a baby into the world is powerful, transformative, and sometimes overwhelming — and no mama should have to navigate it alone. As a pregnancy and postpartum doula and wellness coach, I support expecting and new mothers who want to feel calm, confident, and truly prepared for the journey ahead. My background in pregnancy and postpartum wellness and nutrition allows me to guide mamas in a holistic way — nurturing the mind, body, and soul through every stage. I’m also a mom of three, so I deeply understand the emotions, fears, and hopes wrapped into birth and early motherhood. I believe every mother deserves a doula. Every mother deserves to feel informed, supported, and encouraged. And every baby deserves the greatest gift of all: a calm, confident, grounded mama who feels held, not overwhelmed. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or simply craving reassurance and guidance along the way, I’m here to walk beside you with compassion, confidence, and evidence-based support. You don’t have to “just get through” pregnancy or postpartum. You deserve to feel empowered in it.

I offer a helping hand, education, a listening ear and helpful instruction without judgement. I also teach yoga a few times a week and would be happy to incorporate that into your care as appropriate in your healing journey.

Marie is a DONA trained Postpartum doula with over a decade of newborn and infant care experience. Through her experience as a nanny, she fell in love with helping families through the journey of parenthood. She witnessed firsthand how chaotic life can be through pregnancy and after birth. She became a doula to help families navigate the stresses of new parenthood and enjoy their lives together with their new baby. Marie aims to guide families through the entire journey into parenthood with a gentle, holistic approach. She specializes in hands-on education, physical and emotional support, feeding assistance, sleep training, cooking, and household organization. Her goal is to nurture parents in this vulnerable and intimate time, and empower them to care for their new child with confidence. A full fridge, clean home, and person to talk to can make all the difference! She also provides antepartum support to assist with birth planning, getting ready for baby, and any additional needs in the final trimester of pregnancy. Beyond educational, physical and organizational support, there is a strong focus on emotional and mental health when working with Marie. She has a trauma-informed and inclusive approach; becoming a parent is a huge shift in identity and deserves to be treated with immense care and respect. Her education and experience allows her to assist with single parents, parents of advanced age, families who have experienced chronic illness, loss, eating disorders, anxiety, and sexual abuse. Marie also identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community. When not working with families, Marie spends time with her baby boy and husband playing with their two rescue dogs. She loves to cook healthy plant based meals and listen to audio books! She is also the co-founder of Newborn Nanny Consultants LLC which helps match families with qualified nannies.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Marie. She was a lifesaver for our family during the early postpartum days with my daughter. The nights Marie would come and help were what my husband and I most looked forward to during the week because we knew we'd have trusted support and that we would get much needed sleep. She was very flexible with her schedule and was always able to work with us to find the best timing for her to come help with overnights. Marie was a loving and confident doula and I always knew my daughter was in good hands with her. Marie was always open to having conversations with me and workshopping ways to improve naps, nighttime sleep, bottle feeding, pumping, etc. with me and I don't know that I would have been able to do things as well without her. In my struggle with postpartum anxiety and depression, nights were tough for me because I often felt a debilitating loneliness when I was feeding my daughter or up pumping. I cherish the nights we had with Marie because she helped take that loneliness away and it made me more confident as a mother. She is the absolute best and I highly recommend her!
