LGBTQ+ Affirming Doulas in Denver, CO

My name is Sophie McPhee! I’m a postpartum doula, licensed massage therapist, and somatic psychotherapist (LPCC) with a background in infant care and trauma-informed nervous system support. My approach to postpartum support is grounded in the belief that caring for a new baby also means caring for the nervous system of the whole family. During overnights, I bring a calm, attentive presence to newborn care so parents can genuinely rest, knowing their baby is being cared for with warmth and competence. I’m especially passionate about helping parents feel supported rather than managed. I offer practical help and an attuned, steady presence during such a tender transition.

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.

I have been interested in women’s health, pregnancy and babies most of my life. My own challenging infertility and birth experiences made me even more passionate about supporting parents during pregnancy, birth and beyond. Located in the Denver Area. I support families through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period, providing education and emotional support. I am also an infant sleep coach.

Hello, my name is Marissa and I'm honored to meet you. I am fascinated by the innate, primitive, and beautiful ability of our bodies to create new life. A hodgepodge of things led me to becoming a certified birth doula and yoga instructor. The two most influential being the births of my own babes. Those close to me would say I have a unique ability to calm a situation, hold a positive space, and intuitively allow things to be. These qualities made sense as a Doula. Additionally, yoga is a big part of my life (a lifestyle, I'd say...) and was immensely helpful through my pregnancies. That's why I offer a holistic approach with prenatal yoga to prepare your mind/body/spirit for an optimal birth. As an LGBTQIA+ doula, I understand that families can be built in many different ways. All that matters is that when a family is created, it happens on a foundation of love, support, trust, and safety. For birthing people, my intention is to support you tenaciously in having the most empowering, transformative, and safe birthing experience as possible. We are not meant to birth alone. As human beings bringing new human beings into the world, it is pivotal to feel affirmed and validated during our most vulnerable and authentic moments. I want you to look back on your birth experience and feel triumphant! No matter what you’ve been through in the past, or what you are envisioning currently, I am here to 100% support your goals and help them come to fruition. For those not birthing and creating a family in a different way, my intention is to support you through all aspects of your unique experience; Planning, transitioning, bringing baby home, etc. I can offer resources and referrals for all of your family's needs. More importantly I can provide Empathy, Compassion, and Presence.

I'm Hannah, a birth and postpartum doula serving families across Northern Colorado. I've supported families through pregnancy, birth, and the weeks after, most of them in hospitals and birth centers. More than half had high-risk conditions like severe preeclampsia. My approach is evidence-based and grounded in informed consent. I give you real information, not a personal agenda, so you can make decisions that feel right for you. I work alongside your doctor or midwife, never in place of them. Now I also offer daytime postpartum support in your home: feeding help, recovery check-ins, newborn care, and time for you to rest, shower, and eat. I don't offer overnights. I accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid), CHP+, and TriWest, plus HSA and FSA. Cost should never be the reason you go without support.

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.

My name is Rowan Hawkins (she/they), and I bring nearly three decades of living, working, and learning into my work as a threshold doula, specializing with families with miscarriages and stillborn births. I am also a traveling CO notary public, traveling folk harp player, certified child passenger safety technician (CPST-PVS), and mother of my one-and-only rainbow baby (who was born via medically necessary C-section). My career path has been eclectic—spanning universities, hospitality, medical offices, and finance—but in every role, I found myself drawn to supporting others, keeping things organized, and creating calm in the middle of complexity. I hold a bachelor’s degree in science with a minor in anthropology, and I’ve always been fascinated by the ways we care for one another. As a doula, I support: ~ Non-religious/secular practices first ~ Skin-to-skin as much as humanly possible ~ Breast is preferred, but fed is best ~ Cesarean births are natural births ~ Abortion is healthcare ~ Vaccines save lives ~ Advocacy, knowledge, and empowerment for all ~ Death is natural and healthy to discuss I also encourage open-book business practices! Have a question about my pricing? Please ask!
