Thank you for taking a minute to learn more about me! My name is Cari Walters. After an eight year battle with infertility, including a full year of testing, medications, and numerous hospital visits, I started my own mom Journey. My husband was deployed to Iraq for the birth of our first child. I would have been all alone if it wasn’t for the close-knit military wives (and occasionally my mom who lived out of state) that encircled me during this precious time. If it wasn’t for these women loving on me and advising me before, during, and after my birth, I know it would not have been such a positive experience. I knew at once that I wanted to support and love other moms in the same manner. I started out supporting new moms by being a part of a group called MOPS. My husband returned from war and shortly after we were blessed with a second baby without all the fertility trials. I continued working with moms through the MOPS organization as we moved across the country to Colorado. It was there that I met a beautiful friend and fellow MOPS mentor who introduced me to being a doula. In 2020, after taking the 200hr course with 75hrs of clinical work I began my journey as a full spectrum doula. I absolutely love birth and postpartum work but quickly learned that I really shined on the postpartum side of birth work. I concentrated on obtaining my Newborn Care Specialist certification and Sleep Guide Certification to improve and round out my skills as a postpartum doula.
I recognize that rest is not a mere luxury, but an essential pillar of physical and emotional health during this transformative time. That’s why I proudly offer our specialized “night shift” doula services, uniquely tailored to provide solace to new parents grappling with the challenges of sleep disruptions. Through our “night shift” doula services, I provide “resting care” which means that I rest while the baby is resting and wake with the baby. I strongly encourage breastfeeding moms to continue their journey as I support at night.
Within my newborn support options, you’ll find more than just assistance; you’ll experience a genuine connection that embraces both your postpartum needs and the care of your precious infant. Whether you’re seeking guidance with breastfeeding, baby care routines, or simply a compassionate ear to share your thoughts and concerns, my services are designed to cater to your unique needs. While I provide unwavering support during our engagement, my ultimate aim is to equip you with the skills that will serve you well into the future.
With my in-person support, you’re not just gaining a service; you’re embracing a partnership that extends beyond the duration of our interaction. As you welcome your new family member and navigate the early stages of parenthood, know that I’m here to stand beside you, providing compassionate care and valuable insights that will ensure you’re well-prepared for the beautiful journey ahead.
Cari has been wonderful to work with. Highly recommend. She is very professional, supportive & knowledgeable. She always arrives on time, maybe even a little early. I appreciate that she always leaves a note recapping the night with how much the LO ate, diapers & any comments on sleep or suggestions. My animals also loved Cari and the extra late night pets!

Cari helped us with overnights with our twin boys for their first few months of life. She was wonderful and felt like part of the family!
