When my birth plan was turned upside down going from a home birth to a hospital induction, Candace was an amazing support. Not just physically when I was going through contractions but also mentally and emotionally beforehand. She helped me put together a hospital birth plan, helped answer questions I didn’t even have to think about with my original birth plan. When she showed up at the hospital her calming energetic personality helped me to stay focused throughout all my contractions and she was a great distraction in the beginning part of my labor. I don’t know how I would have done it without her. Just knowing I had someone there with me who is as skilled and knowledgeable as Candace when it came to both my birth plan and labor and delivery got me through so much. I wouldn’t want to go through a birth, home or hospital without her help!

Cari Walters

Thank you for taking a minute to learn more about me! My name is Cari Walters. After an eight year battle with infertility, including a full year of testing, medications, and numerous hospital visits, I started my own mom Journey. My husband was deployed to Iraq for the birth of our first child. I would have been all alone if it wasn’t for the close-knit military wives (and occasionally my mom who lived out of state) that encircled me during this precious time. If it wasn’t for these women loving on me and advising me before, during, and after my birth, I know it would not have been such a positive experience. I knew at once that I wanted to support and love other moms in the same manner. I started out supporting new moms by being a part of a group called MOPS. My husband returned from war and shortly after we were blessed with a second baby without all the fertility trials. I continued working with moms through the MOPS organization as we moved across the country to Colorado. It was there that I met a beautiful friend and fellow MOPS mentor who introduced me to being a doula. In 2020, after taking the 200hr course with 75hrs of clinical work I began my journey as a full spectrum doula. I absolutely love birth and postpartum work but quickly learned that I really shined on the postpartum side of birth work. I concentrated on obtaining my Newborn Care Specialist certification and Sleep Guide Certification to improve and round out my skills as a postpartum doula.

Cari has been wonderful to work with. Highly recommend. She is very professional, supportive & knowledgeable. She always arrives on time, maybe even a little early. I appreciate that she always leaves a note recapping the night with how much the LO ate, diapers & any comments on sleep or suggestions. My animals also loved Cari and the extra late night pets!
