Julie Smith - Postpartum Doula

About Julie

I know what it feels like to need help in the middle of the night and have no one to call. I’m a Colorado native who spent my twenties and early thirties on the East Coast — far from family, far from my roots, and eventually, far from sleep. I had three sons without a village nearby. My husband, bless him, could sleep through a train crash (and a newborn baby crying!). Paternity leave was laughably short. Breastfeeding was hard. The nights were long. And I did it alone, in the dark, wishing desperately that someone would just come and take the baby for a few hours so I could be a person again. That experience is why I do this work. I returned to Colorado 12 years ago and eventually found my way to postpartum doula work — because I lived the need for this role. When I support a new mom through the night, I’m not reading from a textbook. I’m drawing on years of feeding babies at 2am, soothing a baby who won’t settle, and knowing exactly what a mother needs to hear (and what she doesn’t) when she’s running on empty. I’m a certified postpartum doula through CAPPA, based in Parker, and I serve the South Denver Metro area — the communities I know, love, and am proud to call home. You deserve rest. Let me help you get it.

Accepted insurance

Carrot Message Julie to confirm coverage for your plan.

I arrive in the evening and care for your baby through the night while you sleep. That means handling feedings (bringing your baby to you to nurse and settling them after, or taking care of bottles start to finish), diaper changes, soothing, and gently settling your baby back to sleep. I also take care of baby-related tasks like washing and prepping bottles and tidying the nursery. In the morning I leave you a log of how your baby ate and slept, so you wake up rested and informed.
