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!

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. :)

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!

A True Gem – Forever Grateful for Kaylin In a world where dependable, compassionate support can be hard to come by, Kaylin was a breath of fresh air. From the very first night, she brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and genuine care into our home. Always punctual and incredibly reliable, Kaylin consistently went above and beyond in every way. She made life with a newborn feel manageable—even enjoyable. It was clear she truly loved our son, William, and that bond meant so much to us. What I didn’t expect—but deeply appreciated—was how much she supported me as a postpartum mom. Her presence during those quiet, late-night feeds became something I looked forward to. I will genuinely miss our middle-of-the-night conversations. Thank you, Kaylin, for helping us through one of the most intense seasons of life—and guiding us gently to the light at the end of the tunnel. We’ll never forget your impact on our family.

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.

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.

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.

I cannot say enough good things about Stacey & Brandy. They helped me manage my pain levels throughout labor & delivery, communicated with my midwife for me, advocated for me on my behalf, and most importantly they helped me feel SAFE even during the most challenging parts of my labor/delivery. They're sweet & kind and they're very knowledgeable about what to do to help mamas during pregnancy, labor/delivery, and postpartum. I absolutely recommend hiring them to support you through your pregnancy! I truly can not imagine a better support system!

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.

Recent review

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.

As a doula my goal is to help you realize your vision for a successful birth, to hold up the light so that you can better walk the path you choose on this journey. My wide ranging experience in birth settings has taught me that every birth is unique and that when parents feel informed and supported by their care team they are able to experience birth as a joyful and peaceful experience whether all goes to plan or not. I have been DONA certified for 3 years and in that time have attended over 100 births in all birth settings and worked though a wide range of birth scenarios. I am a very hands-on doula as I love to study and understand the physiology of labor. I study Spinning babies, massage and rebozo techniques as well as breathing and hypnobirthing and bring these skills as tools to use in the process of labor. Growing up I lived in a small progressive hippy community where birth was very much seen as a part of life. The local midwife lived next door and her stories and approach to what she did raised me to see birth as a symptom of health and that birthing people should always have constant loving support during labor. I have wanted to work in birth for as long as I can remember and I believe wholeheartedly in the doula model of care. Now that my own 2 children are older I have jumped into the birth world with both feet and am passionately committed to my calling.

Bethany Dickson is the reason I had the exact birth I wanted. We worked with Bethany for the birth of our first baby, and I would absolutely work with her again. My goal was to have an unmedicated birth, but what mattered most to me was that my birth plan was respected fully — including that if I asked for an epidural or any medical intervention, Bethany would support that without question. She was 100% aligned with this approach from the very beginning and never once tried to push me toward a different path. That trust and respect meant everything. Bethany supported us well before labor even began. We met multiple times to connect and set expectations, she provided examples and a template to help me write my birth plan, and she shared resources and videos showing different positions for laboring. When I was laboring at home, she was available by phone and offered specific guidance and positions to try. Once I arrived at labor and delivery, things got intense quickly. The nurses were offering an epidural, and I started to doubt whether I could really have an unmedicated birth. One nurse even said, “No one gets a prize for having an unmedicated birth,” which honestly made me feel like they didn’t believe I could do it, and in that moment, I wasn’t sure I believed it either. Even though I was wavering, I wanted to wait until Bethany arrived to see if working with a doula could change things. Bethany’s presence changed everything. I got into the tub to labor, and Bethany arrived shortly after. From the moment she walked in, the entire energy of the room shifted. She immediately took charge in the best possible way — dimmed the lights, turned on the LED candles, gave my husband a clear role (i.e., she coached my husband to be involved rather than replacing him), and focused fully on me. Her confidence was unwavering. She knew I could do this, and that belief gave me the strength to do it. She handed me labor combs, guided my breathing (breathing with me the entire time), and helped me stay grounded in my body. My only job was to follow her lead — and I did, all the way through full dilation and pushing. I stayed unmedicated, not because I felt pressured, but because I felt supported, safe, and capable. My pushing phase was short and Bethany was right by my side the entire time, alongside my husband and medical team. The room felt calm and coordinated: Bethany worked seamlessly with my nurses and doctor, never overstepping and never being sidelined. It felt like a true team effort, and I felt fully supported by everyone in the room. After our baby was born, Bethany gently showed me how to breastfeed as my newborn crawled to my breast. She took photos without ever being asked; photos we cherish deeply today. She made sure everything was settled, said a quick goodbye and then quietly slipped out so we could have privacy during our golden hour. She arrived at exactly the right moment, did exactly what we needed without us having to ask, and then stepped away without making anything about herself. Bethany is confident, grounded, deeply caring, and genuinely joyful for the families she supports. She has an incredible ability to be fully in command while also being deeply attuned to her clients’ needs and wishes, and to recognizing when something may need to shift to support their labor goals. Beyond the birth itself, Bethany also set us up for success postpartum. Before I even had the baby, she provided an extensive list of resources (e.g., postpartum recipes; mental health referrals; lactation and breastfeeding support; pelvic floor specialists; and more). By the time I needed those resources, I didn’t have to scramble or research anything; I already had my library of tools ready to support me. Bethany is an incredible fit for anyone looking for strong, confident support from someone who honors your autonomy and works seamlessly with a medical team. I truly had the exact birth I wanted because of Bethany’s support. If you are considering working with her, know that you will be cared for with intention, confidence, respect, and love — before, during, and after birth.

As a full spectrum doula, I provide the tender loving care that all pregnant and postpartum families deserve. Whether you’re still brainstorming baby names or you’re already knee deep in baby bottles, you can rest easy knowing that I have the skillset to cover it all - from preconception to postpartum and beyond.

I felt so supported by Auriel during my pregnancy, in preparing for the birth, during labor, and after baby was born. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the ways Auriel made me feel heard, seen, and understood. Having previous birth trauma and childhood abuse, I had a lot of anxiety coming up to the birth of my second child. I found Auriel when searching for a doula who recognized and integrated spirituality into the pregnancy and birth experience. Also, Auriel's own pregnancy and birth story inspired me. I first had a womb healing session with Auriel and, with her guidance and compassionate presence, I was able to reconnect with my child self. From that moment, I knew I could trust Auriel as my doula. She honored the sacredness of my journey and empowered me to birth and was so kind in the ways she processed with me and my partner after the birth. I would highly recommend Auriel to anyone seeking healing or a doula who integrates birth and spirituality.

Hi there, my name is DiAndra Espinoza and I am a Postpartum Doula in Lafayette, CO and surrounding areas. As a newborn/infant/toddler nanny for four years, I realized that my passion is not only in helping new humans grow but also in providing support for new parents. My practice emphasizes empowerment, confidence and quality care for the postpartum months. I strive to not only ensure that baby is on track but that moms (and dads) alike are able to recover and get started on their new normal. It's important to me that the joy of birth transfers to the joy of parenthood.

Recent review

DiAndra took care of our baby from when she was 7 months old to when she turned 1 and started daycare. She was the best nanny we could have ever hoped for: always punctual, highly experienced, and super sweet with babies. DiAndra thoughtfully designed each day: sometimes she took our baby on neighborhood walks, sometimes she played with her outside, sometimes they do tummy time at home and she sang / danced with her as well. Our baby is usually shy around strangers, but she has enjoyed playing with DiAndra since Day 1! Highly, highly recommend!

Hi there! My name is Shelby and I am a birth and postpartum doula based in Colorado Springs! I recently relocated to Colorado from California. My absolute passion is supporting and encouraging new parents through birth and watching women transform into a mother— there’s nothing like it. In person and virtually, I have attended over 20 births. Every time, I leave feeling overwhelmed with gratitude that I my job is to witness the miracle of life. To all of you lovely Colorado mamas, I cannot wait to meet you and continue sharing my gift with you.

Shelby was a great doula for us and we highly recommmend her! We hired Shelby as our birth and postpartum doula and we had a great experience! We had a couple meetings before birth to talk through all of our questions and prepare a birth plan. During delivery she was calm and reassuring, which helped both of us. In the first couple of weeks after birth she thought us a lot about baby care, like baby bath, how to use a baby wrap…

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!
