Brooke Sackett

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!

Angela Harris

Angela is a postpartum doula, perinatal and kids yoga instructor. Angela has always been interested in women’s wellness and support and became very interested in postpartum doula work after giving birth to both of her children 2000 miles away from her extended family. Her goal is to help mothers find their confidence and create systems to help them continue to build trust in themselves as mothers. Originally from Canada, Angela moved to Colorado in 2017. When not working, Angela loves to be outdoors with her family especially hiking, mountain biking and skiing. She also fancies herself a pretty good home chef!

I can’t thank Angela enough for the post-partum support she gave to me directly following the birth of my daughter. As soon as I came home from the hospital she was ready to help, from setting me up in my living room with a comfortable breastfeeding station, to answering all my questions about caring for my newborn. As a first time mom it was so comforting having someone like Angela come into my home and care not only for my baby but for me also. It’s very obvious when you meet her that she is genuinely passionate about helping moms & babies!

I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula as well as a Newborn Care Specialist. I also specialize in Maternal Mental Health. I believe that everyone deserves not only support but the right kind of support during this important time in someone’s life. I customize my services for each client. Contact me for a free consultation. I am also a mom of three amazing kiddos and I've been happily married for almost 13 years.

Emily was great, we used her both leading up to and during delivery, as well as during the postpartum period. She was incredibly patient and really spent the time with me as we talked through birth plan options and even helped me curate a maternal mental health plan to prepare for any triggers that may come up post-partum. She also was very readily available over text during those tricky postpartum struggles, and even helped watch our son so my husband and I could have a little date night.

Emily Harrison

7 years of experience

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

I am a certified postpartum doula, and my goal is to help parents in their transition to parenthood by offering physical, emotional and mental support. Just as much as the baby needs to be tended to and cared for, the birthing parent needs just as much. As your postpartum doula, I will be there for you as you process this big life change with a steaming cup of tea, and some healing, nourishing foods. I will be there to help out with household tasks so that you are able to rest and recover well.

Hannah is wonderful. She was my post partum doula/ night nurse for both of my pregnancies and I could not recommend her more highly. She helped me feel supported and cared for and helped ease my transition into motherhood.

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!

Joanna Jackson

5 years of experience

I passionately serve our Greater Rochester, NY area as your community Birth Doula! I bring a calm confidence to birthing people, partners and their families during their pregnancy, labor and birth journeys. I love supporting my community through creating living birth plans with my clients, providing evidence-based coping skills and empowering birthing people with knowledge, resources and compassionate care! When I'm not attending a birth you will find me enjoying the Rochester Public Market, local coffee shops around town as well as hiking with my husband and our Dalmatian. Supporting you during pregnancy and throughout your fourth trimester is my life's work, and it is beautiful!!

Joanna was the most supportive, insightful, and resourceful doula I could have asked for. In addition to being experienced in the birthing and medical field, she cares deeply about the client and their family, ensuring that their birth plan reflects all their wants and needs. When things couldn't go according to plan, having Joanna's wisdom and compassion was invaluable - my husband and I literally don't know what we would have done without her in many high pressure moments. The postpartum component to Joanna's services are equally valuable and have helped me tremendously in my physical/emotional healing, as well as the transition into the fourth trimester and beyond. Thank you, Joanna - may all moms be so lucky to work with you!

Hello there! My name is Kylie Pina and my philosophy is to help empower families in their feeding decisions through information and support. I was a postpartum nurse for years before transitioning into the lactation role. I am now an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant.

Becca Nitz

My name is Becca and I am currently available to provide my services as a night nanny. I have 10+ years of childcare experience as well as recently trained to be a Newborn Care Specialist. All of my CPR and first aid certifications are up to date. I am also a mother to 3 young girls which has given me a vast amount of knowledge regarding newborns! Along with my knowledge and experience, I most importantly just love caring for babies and helping support families during the early months of parenthood.

“Becca was our full time, 40 hours per week nanny from 2021-now. We have a 4 year old and 19 month old twins that she cared for. She also helped around our house with other childcare tasks like laundry, tidying and dishes. She helped with sleep training for all 3, bottle weaning, solid food transition, potty training, you name it! Becca is the absolute best child caregiver. She takes care of kids as if they are her own. She listens to what I think is best for our kids but also offers advice which is a hard balance to find, and one we haven’t found with other caregivers. She has done plenty of overnight care with our children in addition to consistent weekly care. Becca is calm, nothing seems to rattle her, which is great especially when I was in the thick of post partum and struggled. I would truly recommend her to any family.”
