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.

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.

I’m a DONA-certified birth doula with over 30 years of experience in family advocacy and early childhood development. God led me to this work through the transformative births of my own four children, each one shaping my heart and deepening my passion for supporting others through this sacred journey. In 2020, I followed that calling and founded Mountains of Love Doulas to provide families with evidence-based guidance, emotional encouragement, and hands-on support. Now rooted in Berthoud, Colorado with my husband and our four kids, we soak up every moment we can outdoors—when I’m not holding space for another beautiful birth.
I can't thank Mary enough for all her help during my pregnancy and birth. She recommended stretches to help with debilitating hip discomfort during my third trimester (which totally fixed my issue in a week)! She also helped assist me in the unmedicated waterbirth I had prayed for. She was such a great advocate for me, and her encouragement and knowledge made all the difference. I couldn't have done it without her. Thanks, Mary! God Bless You! -Rachel W.

My name is Sarah. I am passionate about helping moms birth without fear and experience physiological labor while trusting the way God designed our bodies to labor and birth. I am holistically minded while holding respect and thankfulness for the use of interventions when medically necessary. I’m a homeschooling mom of 4 and wife to my husband Luke. I love Jesus and I am a deeply empathetic person. I believe in the sanctity of life, that all human beings are fearfully and wonderfully made. I enjoy camping, fishing, riding bikes, and finding cool parks with my kids. My favorite things: iced coffee (always iced)& meaningful conversations! My goal is to love and serve expectant mothers and families with exceptional support and to help them have a birth experience they can feel good about. I am here to help you navigate pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with confidence, education, and joy.
Working with Sarah was an absolute blessing during one of the most important moments of our lives. Sarah was not only knowledgeable and supportive but also incredibly compassionate. Her calming presence and reassuring words made a world of difference throughout the entire birthing process. She provided emotional support, helpful advice, and ensured my partner and I felt empowered every step of the way. The photos they took are not just pictures but powerful memories that we will cherish forever. Sarah's ability to capture intimate moments without being intrusive was remarkable. She was attentive to our preferences and captured every emotion and detail perfectly. I cannot thank Sarah enough for her incredible support during the birth of my last pregnancy. She is truly a gem and we are so thankful to have had her!

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, I’m Beth — a Birth, Postpartum, and Sibling Doula, Photographer, and lifelong advocate for authenticity and emotional well-being. I provide calm, compassionate, and personalized support to help families feel safe, seen, and empowered through every stage of pregnancy and postpartum. With 15+ years of experience supporting people of all abilities and backgrounds, I bring intuition, empathy, and a deep sense of care to my work. Whether you need hands-on guidance, quiet emotional support, or someone to help your birth team feel confident and connected — I’m here for you. Every birth is unique. My goal is to help you feel grounded, informed, and nurtured every step of the way. 💜 Beth See more reviews on Google! https://maps.app.goo.gl/Cof43fPd4V75eSqK7
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!

Embolden Doula Services is here to help you find the courage, confidence, and strength needed to bring new life into the world. As a birth doula, my main goal is to empower you with informational, emotional, and physical support throughout your pregnancy and labor. As a postpartum doula, my focus is on supporting and encouraging you in your role as a parent to your baby.
Emily was an endless source of encouragement. During pregnancy, she helped us navigate our options and feel truly prepared. In the hospital, she was our voice when we felt overwhelmed and made sure our birth plan was respected. The little things, like when we needed intermittent monitoring in the labor room because I wanted to move around or the positions she helped me labor in. She was our voice when we needed it. I had a C-section at the end and it was like having a friend around to hear her encouraging words. She supported my partner too, showing him how he could be there for me. The pictures she took were a icing on the top and made beautiful memories for us. She was the key to having the positive, empowering birth experience we wanted.

My name is Courtney Moore Rodriguez. I am a certified lactation educator (CLE), certified postpartum doula (CPD), and certified infant and family sleep specialist (IFSS). I am here to support your family in person (within the Denver metro area) and/or virtually…from the time you find out you’re expecting, through your baby’s first birthday. In those first few weeks and months, it can be hard to ask for help. I am a strong believer in helping families to help themselves (with a good amount of time for rest and self care thrown in too). Rather than taking care of your baby for you, I make sure that you have the skills, knowledge, and rest to do it on your own. I assist families in a non-judgmental fashion and always strive to meet you where you are. I am up to date on the latest research regarding infant feeding, sleep, and newborn care, and can give you non-biased information so that you can make informed choices that work for your family.
Courtney is so wonderful!! We worked with her as a postpartum doula as first time parents. Before baby came, thought we’d work with her for a few weeks…..nine months later I still rely on Courtney as an extremely trusted resource and for support when we need it. She shaped our parenting experience in those first few weeks and months so much for the better that I have so much gratitude for her patience, knowledge, emotional support and calming presence. Courtney provided amazing, loving care to our baby and taught my husband and I really everything at the beginning as we had no experience with babies! It was such peace of mind knowing I could ask Courtney anything and not rely on the rabbit hole of google or social media. She helped us through so many challenges during such an emotional time and helped with all kinds of things to make our lives easier. Months later we still turned to Courtney for help on baby sleep, eating and also for my breastfeeding journey. I would never have even started my breastfeeding journey, never mind made it to ten months, without her. I am beyond grateful we found Courtney to work with and recommend anyone to work with her!

Hi! I'm Lisa! I'm a Christian Doula and Childbirth Educator in SE Aurora, CO. Right now I'm offering birth support in all birth settings (as long as you have a midwife or OB), and Childbirth Education in my home or your home! My faith is the foundation for my life, and most of my clients find and choose me because I stand strong in Biblical truth and moral values. I am a mom of 5, and wife to a husband who is a systems engineer, so I have great perspective as a mother and can relate well to new dads that might be more analytical and logic-minded. Music, art, reading, and all things creative are my hobbies, and I love to spend time in nature. I have experience supporting families with every kind of birth plan, from natural home birth, to hospital epidural birth, to planned cesarean. My favorite kind of birth to support is YOURS. I truly believe that you know what's best for your body and your baby, and I'm here for it!
Lisa provided me support and guidance while I was pregnant with my first child. Working with Lisa was a huge boost to my physical, emotional, and mental well-being. As a first-time mom, I had a lot of concerns and anxiety. I appreciated being able to ask Lisa questions and hear about her experiences as a doula. It gave me an idea of what I could expect at the hospital where I was planning to deliver. She assisted me in formulating a Birth Plan. (Ultimately, we didn’t end up using this, but the process of writing it made me consider some important issues such as whether I wanted a medicated or unmedicated birth.) The biggest benefit from working with Lisa was learning how to help my body during pregnancy. I am a very go-go-go type of person and as a result, I was twisting my back in all sorts of bad ways. Lisa assisted me in doing pregnancy-safe stretches to help ease the discomfort and eventually referred me to a local, trusted chiropractor who did absolute WONDERS to relieve the pain I was experiencing. I am thankful for Lisa’s service and have fond memories of being her client.

My name is Jessica and I am honored to be considered as your Doula for this monumental time. My work as a Doula is focused on supporting my clients by leading with love and inclusivity, with the belief that we all have various life experiences, and regardless of those, every client of mine deserves to be loved, heard, included, and empowered to stand for their beliefs in and outside of the labor room with a constant, and reliable support. I have a true passion for obtaining and sharing evidence-based information to work with my clients to make a plan for their ideal labor and delivery as well as the postpartum period. Additionally, I equip my clients through prenatal visits and ongoing communication with information about laboring and birthing positions as well as different types of comfort measures and anything else they may need to feel comfortable. I have a strong belief that every birth experience is unique and special, and understand the tenderness of the moment for mom, baby and family. I have always been called to help and care for others. In my life I have been fortunate to experience and learn about pregnancy, labor and postpartum through others experiences before my own experience in birthing my son just under two years ago. Going through the uncertainty, intense emotions and challenges of pregnancy, birth and parenthood has brought me back to my passion of giving back to my community as a Birth Doula. Outside of being a Doula, I love to spend time with my family, traveling, eating good food and exercising outside. I cannot wait to get to know you more! Congrats on your growing family!
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Jessica Parker as a doula. Jessica joined me toward the later part of my pregnancy, and from the beginning she offered warmth, knowledge, and steady encouragement. I had hoped for a VBAC, and while my doctors initially recommended this, I felt nervous due to my first birth being a cesarean. Jessica eased those fears by providing evidence-based information, helping me create a plan to discuss with my care team, and offering consistent reassurance. She took the time to check in frequently—sending texts, making herself available for calls, and ensuring I felt supported at every step. When it was later discovered that my baby was breech and a repeat cesarean was necessary, Jessica remained by my side, adapting seamlessly to my changing needs. Although hospital policy only allowed one support person in the operating room, Jessica offered to come to recovery or arrange for her backup doula to be present so I would not feel alone. She went above and beyond by coordinating postpartum support—ensuring someone was there to help me during those crucial first hours at home as a single mother with a toddler. What sets Jessica apart is her genuine care and commitment. She doesn’t just show up for the birth; she invests in your well-being before, during, and after delivery. She supported me far beyond my expectations, and it was clear that she truly wanted me to have a positive and empowered birth experience, no matter the circumstances. I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica Parker to any expecting family. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, reliable, and dedicated. Anyone who has her as a doula will be in the best of hands

Hi! My name is Dacia. I’m a birth doula in Denver, CO. I’m passionate about supporting women’s births with empowerment and compassion! ✨ I give expectant Moms and partners tools to advocate for their choices and provide comfort and guidance through this transformative journey. 🤍
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!

I am experienced in home, hospital and birth center births. I am skilled at supporting moms in whatever environment they choose. I have been training with my own Midwife for over 35 years and have a vast array of skills and knowledge. Helping to support mothers in birth and assist in ushering in these precious little ones is my calling and divine passion. It is my nature to nurture, to be that "mama" for you as you walk through not only the birth of your baby, but the birth of a new you as a mother.

I am also trained in hypnobirthing, pain management, spirituality, healthy living, breastfeeding and postpartum. I look forward to connecting with you and walking with you through this most precious journey.
Meldyn is a true joy to work with. I wish I had worked with her for the birth of my first-it wasn’t a great experience and think she could have made all the difference in the world. I’m so thankful she helped me with the birth of my second child. It was such a beautiful experience. She was there for me leading up to the birth, during, and afterward offering helpful advice and encouragement. I credit her with helping me have quick labor and delivery and helping me avoid a C-section. It was a beautiful birth and all I had hoped for. I believe much of that is from working with her and planning what we could together. She is so knowledgeable and has a calming, supportive energy. I highly recommend Meldyn and would ask her if she’d be my doula if I had another baby. She is a gifted doula and wonderful person.

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. :)

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!

Hi, I’m Cheyenne! I take great pride in the care and services I offer. With over five years of experience as a birth, bereavement, and postpartum doula and more than fifteen years as a professional caregiver and house manager, I am deeply dedicated to supporting families as they grow, learn, and navigate parenthood. I am also a licensed foster parent in California, serving the San Diego County community with compassion and commitment. I value word-of-mouth connections because they build trust and create a more personal experience, allowing families to feel comfortable reaching out with any questions. I am currently in the Colorado Springs (til mid Dec) area while my father is in acute therapy, and my brother and I are splitting caregiving during the day. During this time, I’m hoping to bridge the gap of not being able to work my usual schedule by offering nighttime postpartum support to families in the Springs. Holding space for new parents in those tender overnight hours would bring a sense of light and purpose during this month-long season here. I can’t wait to connect with you!
Cheyenne has such a warm, engaging presence, it was impossible to not feel her support as navigating my pre- & postpartum journey with both of my boys. Whether she was sharing tools and guiding me and my husband through them, empathizing with my anxieties as a new parent, standing up for my wishes with providers, or engaging me individually in support of creating the best environment for my boys to enter the world, I felt her standing by my side and rooting for me. Cheyenne has an indepth knowledge of pre- & postpartum navigation for both Mom and baby, and her collaboration with and referrals to other providers were So helpful on multiple occasions (for pregnancy massage to support baby being head down & lactation supports related to bottle refusal). I strongly recommend Cheyenne if you are considering having someone by your side for pre- or postpartum navigation.

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!
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.

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!

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!
Georgia was extremely kind, very knowledgeable, patient and I would recommend her services to anyone. She helped with providing back massages, options that I had during my labor and comforted me in times of distress.

My name is Lyssa Zawalski, and I am a postpartum doula undergoing certification with DONA. My path towards becoming a postpartum doula was a winding one, with stops along the way as a teacher, social worker, and product manager. While I have found a depth to each of these titles, becoming a postpartum doula has felt like so much more. Quickly after giving birth to my daughter, I realized that I was underprepared and undereducated on what came next. Postpartum was filled with navigating solo parenting, PMADs (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders), and lack of a “village.” Once enough time had passed and I could more objectively look back at my postpartum period, the most glaring observation was that I had desperately needed help. I needed support in understanding how to feed my baby, what infant sleep looked like, how to find ways to take care of myself (which felt impossible at times). Having a postpartum doula would have changed my postpartum experience as well as the early years of parenthood. I cannot imagine a more tender time to support a family. I truly believe the care and support that we receive in our postpartum period determines so much of how we start our parenting journeys. Thank you for being here, and thank you for trusting me with the most precious pieces of your heart.
Lyssa has been an ongoing guide to motherhood, since she had her daughter. Her unfiltered honesty in motherhood was very real, deep and a refreshing view compared to posed family photos. When I had my second baby, I thought it was going to be different, since I knew what to do this time around. In a sense, it was. However, when the lack of sleep crept in, I called upon Lyssa. She knew the anxiety, the deep seated feelings I felt, and had already lived the intrusive thoughts I had. She was present for the hardest parts, and I can NOT thank her enough for seeing me and understanding motherhood, by walking with me on this journey.

Hello, my name is Emily and I am a DONA certified Birth Doula serving the Fort Collins and Loveland area. My goal is to provide support to families to give you a successful and positive birth experience. I am so glad you are here and look forward to talking with you!
We loved having Emily as our doula!! She was a great support person before, during, and after delivery. I don't think I could have had my dream water birth without her help!! She affirmed me, made helpful suggestions during my labor, and never left my side. She also documented the whole experience for us so I could have photos to look back on and treasure forever :) If you're in the market for a doula, definitely consider hiring Emily!
