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!

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!

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, 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.

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!

Longmont, Colorado
I'm a licensed homebirth midwife serving Boulder, Longmont, the Peak-to-Peak and Northern Colorado. I've been attending births since 2001 and launched my midwifery practice in 2009. I'm an Enneagram 3; Capricorn Sun, Libra Moon & Libra Rising; and Empress Tarot archetype. When I work with families in the perinatal time, we engage in a soul-level contract together. I love holding space as women go deeply within and are transformed by the sacred space of birth. I value informed decision-making, critical thinking, connection, and hugs. Learning and sharing knowledge brings me joy. I'm trained in several Bodywork modalities: craniosacral and myofascial release, and the Arvigo techniques of Maya abdominal therapy. It's a great honor to teach at birth conferences and lead classes & workshops in my community. I bring extensive knowledge of herbs, homeopathy, flower essences and nutritional supplements. Being truly holistic, I also use conventional medicine when indicated. I'm a married mother of two home-birthed and naturally raised children. I'm also an herbalist, gardener, hiker and rollerblader.
Adrienne is an incredible human and midwife -- we are eternally grateful we found her! She is supportive, warm, wise, funny, relatable, patient, knowledgable, and grounded. We had a dream water birth at home! And a great start with our newborn baby boy. We used a different midwife with our daughter and the difference was so vast -- Adrienne made me feel so supported and safe, and I know that helped us have the birth we desired. I also loved all the little touches Adrienne did, like postpartum snack mixes for digestion, the "closing the bones" ceremony at 6 weeks, and the placenta art just to name a few. I wish we were having another baby and that we could work with Adrienne again!

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.

Hello! I’m Brandy, a doula of 10 years. I work in doula partnerships out of Colorado Springs. We support all births no matter what you choose and where you want to deliver. We look forward to growing in this community and supporting the needs of birthing families.
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!

Hello! My name is Laura Rayford and I am a DONA certified birth doula in the Bay Area. I am passionate about guiding birthing people with nurturing and empowering support; working together towards your ideal birthing experience. I have completed two birth doula trainings. One through Hospital Friendly Doulas (which has allowed me to work as a volunteer doula at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley, CA) and the other with Sierra Birth Institute (a training approved by DONA). Both provided me with invaluable information and numerous tools which allow me to confidently support birthing people and their families.Prior to working as a doula, I worked as a nanny for 15+ years. I have always been drawn to working closely with families and giving children the best possible care. For me, this naturally led me to doula work, helping new little people be brought into the world by their capable, brave and extraordinary birthing parent. I am excited and passionate about this work and deeply appreciate your considering inviting me into such a personal and powerful chapter of your life.
Laura was an outstanding doula both during the prepartum phase and the delivery. She was very responsive and attentive to our needs. She has shown extreme dedication and passion for the process of delivery, and has provided useful education, all the way through birth. We are so thankful she was there to help us, and has made our delivery as stress free as possible.

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.

Kendall is a DTI certified Full Spectrum Doula, Birth Boot Camp certified Birth Educator, and a certified Yoga Teacher. She walks alongside her clients as a supportive guide throughout the entire reproductive story, from pregnancy to postpartum. Through her trainings, she has combined her knowledge of mind and body as a yoga teacher into the important role as a doula. Being a mother of two, Kendall was inspired to dive into doula work after experiencing firsthand the significance of continuous support and advocacy during her first pregnancy. Enthralled by the endless learnings and teachings available, she continues to stay current in these offerings. Kendall brings her passion for this field, her experience in caring for others, and her unique, nurturing demeanor to support her clients throughout their pregnancies and birth. She believes that as long as clients are held with love and knowledge, they can navigate any obstacle with confidence and strength. Kendall holds a specialized focus and passion for the birthing process and looks forward to all the families she gets to meet and support. When she isn’t with her clients you will find her on her yoga mat or exploring the enchanting Colorado outdoors with her husband and two children.
Kendall was an absolute god-send during our pregnancy and birth journey. As first time parents, we felt SO lost starting our pregnancy journey. The lack of dedicated support in the system was so apparent right away, and we began our search to find the compassion , emotional support and care we needed , esp for me as a first time mom! Our first discussion with Kendall made us feel so comfortable and like there was such a personal connection , Kendall was so knowledgeable and so committed to ensuring that I would have the support I needed thru every step of my pregnancy and post-partum. She was someone that I immediately knew I could trust and be comfortable around and want her there with me every step of the way, including during my delivery. Kendall provided support and assistance throughout my pregnancy beyond what I could have ever imagined. As someone who had an extremely difficult pregnancy with several hospitalizations, Kendall was there for our family every step of the way, helping us find new care when things with our existing provider weren’t going well, being by our side with several hospital stays and going out on a limb to be a vocal advocate for what was always best for me and our baby. Kendall went above and beyond after so many unexpected turns in our birth story, spent dedicated time visiting our baby in the NiCU at a moments notice when we delivered prematurely in an emergency situation, and was constantly there as a sounding board, resource , and 24-7 support system for our entire family. We have never felt so comfortable being open and honest with someone as we were with Kendall!! She is so passionate about her work, her families and the moms in her care, and it shows!! Whether we had a perfect pregnancy or one filled with the challenges and scares our family faced, We can’t imagine doing it or going through the journey without Kendall. You never know what resources you may need until you need them, and Kendall was there with us every step of the way. She will forever be a part of our family and our story, and we will be forever grateful for her. -The Schafferer’s: Lindsey , Marco and Marcel (our 35 week angel babe!)

My philosophy is to support moms/families and what they choose to do! That looks different for everyone. My goal is to help you advocate for yourself! I offer guidance so that you can make informed decisions. However, I always wholeheartedly support all of your birth choices. This is a judgement free zone!
Crystal was super kind and very empathetic. I loved that she has kids of her own and could relate to everything I was going through. Shes so easy to talk to and I felt like I could tell her anything with zero judgment. She was very much a safe space. Very knowledgeable and answered all my millions of questions about birth and lactation. I had a wonderful experience with her and HIGHLY recommend her!

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.
I almost feel at a loss for words to try and describe how incredible Bethany was as our doula. We called her to arrive right as I was getting an epidural and she came into the room with such warmth and genuine calm that the whole team seemed to take a deep breath. For the next twelve hours she offered the perfect balance of grounding, encouragement, knowledge and love. If you want to feel as if your fairy godmother is shepherding you through birth - hire Bethany. I felt safe, cared for, partnered with, and advocated for throughout my entire labor and delivery due to Bethany, and I could not be more grateful. Thank you Bethany!

My name is Carisa Niemyer and I work as a doula and doula trainer in Colorado SpringsI found my way into doula work through the birth of my first child. My story didn't go exactly how I wanted and my baby had her own story of how she wanted to be born, as these babes often do. But after my delivery I felt so empowered and supported and loved my story. Much of the reason this was true was because of the support of a doula. That experience led me into the world of birth work and I have now been a doula for 18 years, working in both birth and postpartum, as well as training new doulas at Birthingway College of Midwifery in Portland OR as well as in my own training organization here in Colorado Springs. I am passionate about supporting families in whatever their birth choices are, and believe non-judgemental, continuous support thought a families journey can make all the difference! I have worked with a lot of families over the years and each story has been unique and beautiful. I have experience is both high risk and low risk pregnancies. Hospital births as well as home births. I also have experience with twins and triplets, both in birth and postpartum work. My hope is that each family I work with feels empowered and supported in whatever choices they make as they boldly enter this new season of life!
When I tell my birth story, I always end up singing Carissa's praises! She was there for us as we prepped for the birth of our first son and was by my side throughout labor and delivery. She was so encouraging and grounding and kept me going throughout an extremely exhausting labor process. My homebirth didn't go as expected, and I ended up pushing for over 3 hours at home before I transferred to the hospital and eventually ended up getting a c-section due to really tricky positioning. Carissa was by my side from 7 am to about 1 am the next day when my son finally arrived. At home, Carissa encouraged me, helped me try every position imaginable to encourage my baby to come down, and helped my husband know how to best support and love me. When we transferred, Carissa was by my side the whole time, explaining things to me and helping us make choices for each next step. When we finally went in for our C-section, I was able to pick one other person to be there, aside from my husband, and Carissa was the obvious choice (even over my sister and my midwife, both whom I adore, of course!). Carissa also took the most amazing photos with one of our phones during the surgery and I'm so thankful to have those memories! She was there for me in recovery and helped my son latch for the first time and continued to be a support to me in postpartum. I tell ALL of my friends who are having babies to hire Carissa, and of course, it was a no-brainer that she would be by my side as I deliver my second baby in a matter of weeks! If you're looking for a doula, look no further!

I've been drawn to birth work my entire life and have found such a profound calling in my work as a doula, supporting families through their own birth journeys. I am passionate about supporting families, encouraging mamas to use their intuition to meet their babies and holding space for this transformative experience. I am certified as a VBAC doula and enjoy watching families fall in love with their own unique birth stories. I support mama's with all sorts of goals for birth, whether that's unmedicated, using pain relief or planned c-sections and I think one of the most important parts of a positive birth is that the mama feels seen and heard and is an active participant in her birth. I have a bachelor's degree in nutrition and have worked in the medical field for 15 years and feel very comfortable communicating and working with medical staff. I absolutely love learning all that I can about birth and helping clients find evidence-based resources to help them navigate pregnancy and birth. At the same time, I respect birth and this beautiful process that is so innate and instinctual, happening on it's own, without intervention.
I used Katie for the birth of my first son and my second son. If I were to have a third child, I would use her again. She is knowledgeable, a calming presence and was supportive in the exact ways I needed her to be for both births. I am so happy with how my labor and delivery went each time and I feel like Katie played a huge role in me being able to feel that way. I would recommend katie highly to anyone looking for a doula.

Hello! I am a certified Rocky Mountain birth doula and GentleBirth instructor, with additional training in fertility and pregnancy and infant loss. My passion has always been supporting families, especially during times of transition and transformation. I truly believe in the power of a strong support system. As we work together, I will ensure you feel heard and respected, understand all of your options, and have tools to enrich your unique birth experience.
I was lucky enough to have Ann as my doula during the pregnancy and delivery of my son. As a first time Mom, I was feeling nervous and overwhelmed with the thought of birth. Ann walked me through the process, discussed the choices I had, and put my mind at ease knowing that she was going to be there to support me. During my labor, Ann was so gentle and a calming force when I needed it most. She answered questions when I asked, advocated for me to the hospital staff, and encouraged my partner to support me in helpful ways. She was an incredible part of my birth story and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

“I found my birth doula on Bornbir. After submitting my needs, I was able to connect with several awesome doulas that are within a local distance from me.”
“Bornbir is a powerful network. It makes connecting with maternal providers so much easier. It means supporting one another through this parenthood journey, no matter what stage you are in.”
