Eloise was worth her weight in gold during a difficult birth that didn't go to plan. My hope was to labor at home as long as possible and to have an unmedicated water birth. However, I unfortunately developed preeclampsia with severe features, which necessitated an emergency induction at 37 weeks and being confined to the bed on a magnesium drip for the duration of the multi-day labor. I called in Eloise for support during a very low point in my labor, when my epidural had failed and dilation had not progressed for hours. Eloise immediately created a peaceful environment with candles, essential oils, and gentle music, and employed massage, heat therapy, and a TENS unit to promote relaxation. In the first three hours after Eloise's arrival, my dilation suddenly advanced from five to over nine centimeters, a fact which I absolutely attribute to the deep sense of safety she provided. When it came time to deliver my son, I was struggling with feeling weak and depleted after a long, overwhelming labor. Eloise calmly encouraged me through each and every contraction during three hours of pushing. I truly believe that there's no way I would have been able to fulfill my goal of having a vaginal birth if not for her steady presence and her guidance on how to make my pushing more effective. In the weeks following the birth, I ended up suffering from a painful and persistent uterine infection. I had not purchased a postpartum package from Eloise, but she continued to check in with me nonetheless, a testament to the genuine care she has for her clients. Having Eloise as my doula was an extraordinary silver lining of a challenging birth experience. My husband and I are so grateful for Eloise and would unreservedly recommend her to anyone.

¡Hola! My name is Karen and I am a fierce advocate for reproductive justice. I love Sistersong’s definition of reproductive justice, which is, “the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities.” Therefore, I seek to support people within their journey, honoring their bodily autonomy and rights, which is why it is important for me to support birthing people, those seeking to release their pregnancy, and parents wanting to create safe and nurturing environments. I am a Spanish-speaking birth and postpartum doula who is passionate about making sure the birthing person is feeling empowered, liberated, and heard throughout their pregnancy, labor and birth, and postpartum. I am a medicaid-approved birth doula. I am also an abortion companion and will provide you with unbiased, nonjudgemental support and unconditional love. I believe wholeheartedly that your body knows how and what to do, and that you know YOUR body the best, so I will support you in whatever YOU feel is best for you. I know you have a voice and I value that, so I will advocate WITH you. Birth and the transition to parenthood, as well as the postpartum after birth or an abortion (spontaneous or medical) is a mental, physical, and spiritual shift, so I approach my work with clients in a holistic and trauma-informed way. To be a part of your journey is an honor and a privilege and I will treat it as such when you let me hear your story, enter your home, meet your family, and be a part of a transformational moment in your life.

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.

We had an AMAZING experience with Melissa and I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula. Not only did she provide amazing support that helped my labor progress, but she also provided so many wonderful extras like snacks during labor and photos. We will forever be thankful for her support and guidance.

At All Outcomes Doula Services, my philosophy is rooted in compassion, knowledge, and community. I believe every stage of life—from birth to postpartum recovery and even through end-of-life transitions—deserves support that honors the whole person and their unique journey. As a full-spectrum doula, my role is not to take over but to stand alongside families with steady guidance, evidence-based education, and a calming presence. I see this work as a calling to create safe spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to make choices that align with their values. My goal is to weave together my experience as a mother, still mama, Colorado native, and wellness professional to give back to my community, ensuring no family walks alone through these sacred and transformative moments.

Congratulations! My name is Alyssa. I've been a doula since 2013. I became a doula shortly after the birth of my first born when I experienced a tremendous lack of support. I felt alone and isolated and overwhelmed with the contradicting information online. After connecting with other moms within the community, I learned that I wasn't an outlier and this experience was far too common. I studied with Penny Lyon and Ann Pollack in 2013 and became certified with DONA shortly after. Later in 2013, I began working at a local birth center as a midwife assistant to further my medical training. It reaffirmed that I was meant to be a doula serving families within my community. As a certified yoga instructor since 2006, I started integrating Prenatal yoga and doula work. It truly felt like the most comprehensive way to support families by bringing them affective and age old tools to cope with labor pains. Since 2013, I've proudly served over 1000 families. I'm the co-founder of In Joy Birth, a doula training company/agency located in Orlando, Florida. In 2023, I moved my family to the greater Denver area to be close to the mountains where I am currently serving families. I'm passionate about continuing education and am currently working on finishing my Pediatric Sleep Consulting certification. I'm also BLS/CPR certified, and Carrot approved. I work with only one family at a time so that I can provide individualized care to each one of my families.

Alyssa was a part of my dream team for all 3 births of my boys. My husband and I knew we wanted a small intimate birth in a hospital with only our doula, Dr/midwife and the nurses on shift. Each birth, Alyssa supported my husband by telling him how to help me so I was able to stay focused on my labor. I truly feel because of Alyssa and my other dream team members I was able to have 3 beautiful, unmedicated births and recover with no complications. I'm forever grateful for Alyssa's love and support during my birth process as well as support after each birth! She is amazing and you will be so glad to have her by your side during such a vulnerable time.

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!

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.

I believe in nurturing young and growing families with grace, resilience, and intentional movement. When our time is up you won’t realize I’m gone because you’ve been empowered to take on sustainable postpartum practices and you put self care first. I believe everyone deserves a doula!

Recent review

Jannelle was such a blessing during my pregnancy, the birth of our beautiful son, and even postpartum! My partner and I learned so much and became so empowered through Jannelle in the weeks leading up to meeting our baby boy. And even though things didn't go exactly how I'd imagined them through my birth plan, she was there for us every step of the way and I know we both had so much more courage and strength with her by our side in the delivery room. The postpartum visits were so welcome and needed, especially as a first time mom. She helped ease by fears and anxiety, and made getting through the first month so much easier on all of us as a family. I truly think the world of Jannelle and am so grateful to have her a part of our journey.

Crystal was our doula for both of our children. I could not have made it through two unmedicated labors without her. She was an advocate, a guiding voice, a gentle hand, and knew exactly when to interject humor and empathy when they were needed most.

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.

Morgan is an incredible Birth Doula and educator! She teaches birthers how to advocate for themselves and will help you follow your birth goals and give you all of the support you need. She is incredibly intuitive and knows when to physically and verbally encourage you and when to just be present and allow you space. I have witnessed her in a variety of birthing situations, and will always recommend her as a knowledgeable and loving doula!
