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!

Auriel Ortiz

9 years of experience

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.

laura rayford

3 years of experience

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.

Bethany Dickson

6 years of experience

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.

Kira Boucher

2 years of experience

Hi there! My name is Kira Boucher and I'm a current candidate for Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator certifications through the International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA). Now serving in Longmont, Colorado, my practice began at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, VT working as a volunteer doula during the pandemic. Today I am excited to be expanding my practice to provide compassionate, judgement-free care to any and all birthing people who are looking for support. My only goal is for you to experience your ideal birth, whatever that looks like for you.

Having Kira on my team was the best choice! This was my first baby and having her support took away so much of the fear. I went into labor confidently and educated. Throughout my pregnancy she provided resources and guidance for myself and my partner. I feel like she took the time to get to know my birth plan and me as a person. Kira went above and beyond and made me feel like a top priority. I am so grateful for my experience with her and will always request her help for future pregnancies!

Carissa Niemyer

19 years of experience

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!

Julie Sanders

12 years of experience

Hello. I'm Julie Sanders (she/her), a birth and postpartum doula who has supported families on their journey into parenthood for nearly a decade through Awakening Mother Holistic Birth and Wellness. I am also a yoga and meditation teacher and sound healing practitioner passionate about the journey into and through motherhood. I specialize in birth preparation, focusing on inner work, communication, education, bodywork, and balancing for an efficient birth and optimal fetal positioning, including dynamic movement, to support a natural labor and birth process. My postpartum care focuses on rejuvenating the mind, body, and spirit using healing foods and herbs, vibrational medicine, breath work, mindfulness, and daily self-care practices; honoring rest, and family bonding. I personalize my offerings for a deeply "centered" approach to preparing for the journey ahead, inviting exploration into one's deep ancestral wisdom and intuitive insight into and through this transformative time. When not actively supporting aspiring, pregnant, and new parents or deepening my practice, you can find me with my hands in the earth, gardening in my backyard, or spending time with her family and our mischievous beagle named Moon. I would love to connect and learn more about your path and explore ways I may fully support you during this very special time in your life.

Service: Labor and Birth Doula Context: Father, 2nd Child, 1st at-home birth Despite our preparations, our first birth taught us that we can always know, prepare, and expect more. We met Julie in our doula interviews early in our preparations, and with our first home-birth, we knew we needed someone with the knowledge to build our trust, the confidence to direct when needed, and the serenity to alleviate our anxieties. Julie brought every one of those to the table, and more! During our first birth, I couldn't help but feel like a third-wheel, understanding key parts of the birth, but serving mostly as an observer, with the occasional comforting words. In preparation for our 2nd, Julie offered both live Q&As, and preparatory, informative, and engaging classes, which helped prepare not only my wife, but myself in both what to expect and how to engage with each part of the birth. Rather than only observing, or waiting for direction, I became an active participant, predicting and understanding my wife's needs, while also being able to adapt as needed. As labor's frequently do, ours started late in the night, and with a quick call, Julie assessed the situation and determined to come over to help, even in the early stages. As a doula, she helped guide us into active labor, recognizing when we hit hurdles, and confidently and calmly discussed alternative positions and practices. Serving not only as doula, she frequently provided updates that would help our midwife determine how far along we were, and stayed by Laura's side through delivery! In the interest of time, I'll end with an appreciation of Julie's ability to frequently bridge the gap when all the participants became a little too single-minded; Julie would swoop in, suggesting breaks, and even cooking up some delicious meals! Even afterwards, Julie visited and brought a smorgasbord of home-cooked foods, taking the weight off of running a household, and letting my wife, my children, and myself, take time to simply be with each other. Thank you so much, Julie, for not only being what my wife needed, but helping me to be the same! P.S. For the Mother's perspective, Laura's review should post soon!

Katie White

8 years of experience

Hi, I’m Katie—an IBCLC dedicated to supporting families with compassionate, evidence-based care. I received my lactation training through Metropolitan State University of Denver and have spent the past eight years working as both a birth and postpartum doula, supporting more than 100 families through some of the most tender and transformative moments of their lives. I come to lactation work with a foundation in Nutrition, holding a bachelor’s degree from UNC. I have three kiddos of my own—each with their own unique breastfeeding journey. These experiences deepen my understanding that every family’s path is different, and every goal is valid. I truly love being welcomed into people’s homes and consider the postpartum period a sacred space. My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and meeting families exactly where they are—whether they’re navigating challenges, exploring their feeding options, or simply seeking reassurance. When I’m not working with families, you can find me snowboarding, traveling, reading, cooking, and hanging out with my little crew, hopefully outside, having an adventure!

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.

Forever grateful to Cass for bringing the joy, love, calm, knowledge, and even laughter into our birthing experience!

Emily Harrison

My name is Emily Harrison. I am a certified Ayurvedic Doctor and Ayurvedic Postpartum Nutrition & Support Doula, certified through Ayurved Sadhana, approved by the Colorado Department of Education, and recognized by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association. I am also a certified Birth Doula through Birth Arts International, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, and Postpartum Ceremony Facilitator. I am passionate about helping individuals achieve optimal health, so that they can feel at home in their body. Āyurveda believes the pregnancy journey has the potential to create a strong and healthy foundation for a baby’s entire life. This “Science of Life” provides specific guidelines for preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum; and emphasizes the importance of balanced parent(s) throughout all phases of the experience. I support families during the preconception stage by applying Āyurvedic principles that help parents-to-be prepare their bodies, minds, and hearts to increase their fertility potential. I provide Āyurvedic diet, herb, and lifestyle recommendations to help create a comfortable pregnancy; and care for families during the postpartum stage with nourishing food, herbs, and bodywork to facilitates healing after birth by keeping the mother's recovery and wellbeing top priority. I also offer Placenta Encapsulation and honoring, as well as Postpartum Ceremonies to celebrate the completion of sacred pregnancy and postpartum chapters. Make your pregnancy and postpartum journey an empowering experience, and bring your sweet baby Earth-side in an amazing way!

Making the investment to have supported Postpartum care, especially from an Ayurvedic perspective was not just exactly what I had wished for, but I cannot FATHOM a greater gift for the health of our newborn child. I felt like a peaceful, supported, and loved Momma through the whole process which truly allowed me to be the most present with our newborn. Emily is an actual angel on earth. I only wish that every single birthing person had this type of postpartum support. Our little one is now 5 months old and I believe WHOLE-HEARTEDLY that his gentle, calm, and happy disposition is a result of the care and safety that I felt postpartum which allowed me to be fully present with him. Emily worked diligently and silently doing all of the big and little things that afforded us as a new family the maximum amount of time together to just marinate in our little love bubble. I didn't have to think (EVER) about what I was going to eat, or if I had hydrated enough, about eating the right things etc. Not only was my belly nourished, but she helped with postpartum massage, belly wrapping, provided a listening ear, and left me with so many helpful herbs, tinctures, and magical Ayurvedic potions. I am forever grateful for my time spent with Emily who I am sure will now be a lifelong friend. Thank you Emily! Infinitely! Your gift is something undeniable. We are FOREVER grateful. Love, Avani, Andrew, Rio & Suni

Steph Klein

"Birth support that respects science, nature, and mother's intuition" Hi, I'm Steph, a birth doula and mother of two based in Manitou Springs, CO. I recently completed birth doula training through Childbirth International and am providing low-cost services while I establish my practice (Mother Manitou Doula Services) and work towards certification. I studied evolutionary biology as a young adult and was planning a career shift into healthcare at the time that I became pregnant with my first child. Giving birth changed my path in life – and not just because it made me a mother. I realized how much expectant parents stand to gain from continuous, informed support during childbirth (research supports this). I knew then that my background in evolutionary biology and health sciences had come together just so that I could support pregnant, laboring, and postpartum parents. Today, I am proud to serve growing families in Manitou/Colorado Springs (and surrounding areas) as a birth doula.

Steph was my birth doula for my first birth! My husband and I were extremely happy and grateful for her support with everything. The prenatal meetings allowed us to prepare a detailed birth plan, practice pain tolerance techniques, and informed us on what to expect during the birthing process. The day my water broke, Steph was responsive and quick to meet us at the hospital. She provided so much emotional support during the birth, performed amazing hip squeezes, and assisted during the pushing! She worked extremely well with the hospital staff and made my experience so special. Following the birth, she met with us to debrief and provided us with details she wrote down during the birth, which I will get to share with my son one day when he's older! Thank you so much Steph!

Briauna Donnelly

3 years of experience

Hi, I'm Briauna! Birth doula, prenatal yoga instructor, energy worker, and mother. My role is not to tell you how to birth or who you should become. My role is to walk beside you, helping you cultivate trust in yourself, deepen your connection with your baby, and feel supported as you navigate the transition into motherhood. Moms rarely need more information. They need space. Space to slow down, to connect with themselves, to strengthen their relationship with their baby, and to feel seen, heard, and held. When a mother feels supported emotionally, physically, and mentally, she is better able to access her intuition, make decisions aligned with her values, and move through birth and motherhood with greater confidence and ease. This is why my approach centers on the connection between mind, body, and baby. Because when all three are nurtured together, the experience of becoming a mother can feel less overwhelming and more empowering.

As a mommy with a bad 1st birth emergency c-section experience, Briauna was a wonderful blessing this second time around! Her attention to detail, expertise and sympathy made me feel safe and fearless. When it was time to welcome my baby into this world, I had all the confidence and support that I believe every mommy needs and deserves! I can’t stress enough how much I enjoyed having her around in a very beautiful yet vulnerable time in my life.

My name is Brooke, owner of MountainMamas Doula Services. I’m really glad you’re here! I am a certified Birth Doula, certified Postpartum Doula, and Newborn Care Specialist. I live in Littleton with my husband and two amazing children! I started in this work 5 1/2 years ago, taking after my mom and primary birth backup, Donna, who recently retired in birth work after 16 years. I am deeply connected to this work and involved with my clients - as much as they want me to be! I take 4 to 5 births per month and up to 1 postpartum client at a time. I would love to chat and see if we’re a good fit!

This was my first time with a postpartum doula (3rd baby) and Brooke was truly amazing. I wish every single mama could have Brooke during their 4th trimester. We signed up for a month of morning help, and quickly increased our contract to two months. I'm pretty slow to warm up to people, so the first few days were hard - accepting help is hard! She is so patient and kind, we quickly found a routine. After our contract ended, me and my husband (as well as our 11 and 2yo) would daily remark on how much we missed Brooke. She has a permanent place in my heart and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Kristin Reiswig

5 years of experience

Hi, I’m Kristin (she/her)! As a certified Birth and Postpartum doula and a mother of five, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my role. Supporting my sister through her three births and serving as a surrogate for a loving family deepened my love of all things birthy! Additionally, my upbringing in a family that fostered newborns instilled in me a profound love for caring for infants. I am deeply grateful and honored for the opportunity to assist families on their perinatal journey. As your doula, my role is to honor your choices and create a nurturing environment. I recognize the vital role of partners in the birthing process and strive to foster a supportive and unified atmosphere throughout pregnancy and birth. Throughout our time together, my goal is to empower you with knowledge and understanding of your options and rights, fostering a profound sense of confidence. With support tailored to diverse birth experiences, I am committed to helping you achieve an empowering birth that embraces the path that suits you best. I provide comprehensive assistance, including education, physical support, and emotional guidance, enabling you to tap into your instincts, trust evidence-based research, and have faith in your body's capabilities. I'm here to honor your journey, encompassing all emotions and aspirations.

I purchased a birth doula package from Kristin. We had the free consultation (video call) and two prenatal visits and one post partum visit in my home. My husband (which was also my support person) attended the visits, too. It was important to her to include my husband in the conversations because she wanted the three of us to be a team, which I think is great! Kristin provided us detailed information about the labor process, gave us handouts to refer to and she also showed me stretches/workouts that I can do to prepare for labor. She answered all of our questions and provided resources. She went through a detailed questionnaire with me which helps to create a birth plan and also prepares you to think about the ‚what if situations‘. My water broke at home and my labor progressed very quickly. Kristin arrived very fast at my home. She helped my husband pack up the car (incl. our toddler) and she was with me in the car and helped me stay calm and focused on laboring during the 20-30min drive. I was so thankful to have her with me. I would have panicked but she convinced me that we are making it to the hospital - and we did. While I was birthing, there were lots of questions and voices from different nurses and doctors. But Kristin was next to me and she would repeat what they said and I only focused on her voice. Kristin took photos once the baby was born and I am so thankful for them. She stayed with us for a bit and then checked with us when it was ok for her to leave. Throughout the pregnancy and post partum Kristin checked in with me or I could ask her a question and she would give me resources. My husband and I are thankful that we found Kristin and we would totally work with her again! I highly recommend her!
