Hello, friend! I'm Kaitlyn - Colorado Springs' ONLY certified doula AND birth photographer. Families come to me for the trifecta of birth services (aka photography, videography & doula support), and leave their birth experience not only with powerful images and video, but with meaningful doula support and impactful, tangible art. I’m deeply inspired by the resilience, joy, and self-knowing that happens in the birth space. Giving you space and support to experience that, and giving you the ability to look back on that powerful knowing is why I’m here. Alongside birth work, I regularly donate bereavement photography to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss, and help families richly document and embrace their pregnancy and postpartum (read: get both photos AND video of your pregnancy/newborn, PLUS doula-level support throughout the whole process).

Has been one of the biggest helpers in both of my breast-feeding journeys. She is definitely a godsend. She doesn’t just help you. She teaches you along the way overall such a welcoming feeling in such an overwhelming moment of motherhood. She is just a breath of fresh air, so reliable so helpful and takes the extra step to coach along the way

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!

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.

Recent review

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.

Recent review

Shelby was a great doula for us and we highly recommmend her! We hired Shelby as our birth and postpartum doula and we had a great experience! We had a couple meetings before birth to talk through all of our questions and prepare a birth plan. During delivery she was calm and reassuring, which helped both of us. In the first couple of weeks after birth she thought us a lot about baby care, like baby bath, how to use a baby wrap…

I entered into the childbirth field for two main reasons. First, I want to empower women through the natural methods of childbirth. I remember the feelings of strength and control that I encountered when I had my three children at home in the presence of midwives. Now, I want to pass this on to other expectant mothers. With my first pregnancy, I was alone and thought about placing my baby with adoptive parents. Then one day, along comes the most incredible woman who ended up changing my life. She was a midwife who said that she would take me on as a client for the fee of $50 (for supplies). Little did I know that she had hoped that a home birth would convince me to keep my baby. Well, her plan was a success and she has given me a gift I have yet to repay. My second reason for getting into the birthing field was because I want to eradicate the general public’s misconceptions about pregnancy and the birthing process. A woman’s pregnant uterus should not be treated as a tumorous growth to be controlled by medicine, but rather a natural event that women have been participating for many years before doctors. In most cases, birth can be accomplished safely and satisfactorily without intervention, such as drugs and surgery. The need for patience must be practiced in the presence of a laboring woman. I believe that each labor and birth is a unique and miraculous experience. I also believe that there is more than one good way to have a baby and that parents should have the proper tools available for effective informed consent and informed refusal.

Hello, my name is Kit and I've I have been working in childcare for almost a decade. In my time as a nanny and a preschool teacher, I've always appreciated working as a team with parents and other caregivers to give children the best care possible! I approach children with empathy, trying to see their point of view and helping them to understand the world around them. I believe there are opportunities for learning in everything, especially in play. I strive to foster independence in children, and build confidence in their own abilities. Having worked with children with various medical needs, I understand that each family and each child are unique. I consider myself very patient and flexible in creating plans and routines that support child development while still considering the needs of the whole family unit.

Vanessa made me believe my body could do exactly what it needed to do to help me birth my baby! Her confidence and support made all the difference! Also… she was able to support me AND capture some of the most incredible photographs of my daughter’s birth. I’m so grateful to have those moments documented.
