I am a grateful wife and mother of seven children who helped introduce me to the world of giving birth. I have born them all naturally, some in the hospital and later in the homebirth setting. I have been a Nurse for over 40 years and have worked in the hospital in Labor & Delivery, Newborn Nursery and Postpartum care. I have also followed 'out-of-hospital' midwives since I was 25 years old. Recently I became a Certified Professional Midwife who specializes in out-of-hospital (OOH) birthing. We opened My Family Birth Center in Ogden, Utah to give women the opportunity to birth in their own way. We are the largest Birth Center in Utah and Nationally Accredited with the Commission of Accrediting Birth Centers (CABC). We are within 3 blocks of a Ogden Regional Medical Center. We've been open for 4 1/2 years and have helped over 250 couples. I believe in natural birth and know that it has helped many women to experience a quiet, normal, positive birth experience. In my spare time I enjoy bike riding, snowboarding and being with family.

My journey to becoming a postpartum doula began in 2022, when I became a mother myself. During my pregnancy, I dove deep into everything I could learn about birth and parenting, and I quickly fell in love with the beauty and power of the whole process. But when my daughter was born, I realized there was a gap in the education and support available for new mothers, especially when it comes to the postpartum experience. I found that many mothers, myself included, were left to navigate this crucial time without the guidance and support they truly needed. It was in this moment of realization that I knew I wanted to support other women in their postpartum journeys, helping them feel informed, nurtured, and cared for as they adjusted to life with a new baby. In late 2024, I found a postpartum doula training led by an incredible midwife, and I knew this was the path I was meant to take. As a follower of Jesus, my faith is central to everything I do, and I strive to serve others with love and compassion. When I’m not supporting families, you can find me baking, spending time with my own family, and dreaming of a homesteading life. I’m excited to be part of your postpartum journey and offer the care and support you need during this transformative and sacred time.

Kallie was an invaluable support for me during my first pregnancy loss. At a time when I felt at one of my lowest she became a light. Her kindness and ability to relate brought me much needed comfort and encouragement.

As both our nanny and daughter's preschool teacher she held a valuable role in our family's life. She has shown dedication and care to our two children. She helped create a nurturing and fun environment that encouraged our children to explore, learn, and grow. She is patient, hard working, kind, and creative. She has been able to connect with our children and become important to them. In working with our children she always comes with a positive and helpful attitude. Alex is professional and reliable.

My name is Calli Fresh (coolest last name ever right??). I have two dogs and a wonderful husband, hopefully a few kids soon! I enjoy the outdoors and cooking. I have a passion for the arts and dabble in many different types. I am also a bit of a crazy plant lady! I started my way in healthcare as a CNA working with the geriatric population for 7 years before moving on to doing more of the management side of healthcare. While I had a passion for my job and the elderly population, it just didn’t feel like my true calling. I one day found my true calling: Doula work! I was ready to delve into the world of childbirth and babies! I felt like I was being called to work with women, be a support for them and help them through the most challenging and beautiful time in a womans life. I want to help women have the best birth experiences they could, but I also want to extend that care past childbirth and into the postpartum period as well. I want to help women recover and heal from such an incredible experience and help them shift from one chapter of life to the next as seamlessly as I could. I hope to get to know you if you feel called to bring me into your team for childbirth! Please reach out to book a consultation to see if we could be a great match together!

Chelsea is an amazing Doula! She was with us for 20+ hours during the birth of our first son. She knew what I needed and stepped into action even when I was not able articulate what I needed through the process. She was a calming presence in the room and provided so much peace, comfort, and encouragement. She is a gift and amazing! Highly recommend Chelsea for doula services as she is truly amazing - we would have been lost through the process without her!!

I’m a childbirth doula and registered nurse with an innate desire to support other women in the most beautiful and loving way possible. I have a medical background with a holistic mindset and desire that every woman have a nurturing and fulfilling birth and postpartum experience. I believe this is the most amazing work we can do as women….supporting others and having babies!

Recent review

Alyssa was the best birthing partner/assistant I could've hoped for. It was my first birth, and it was long (spanned over 3 days) and HARD. She was with me through the whole thing, and even came to some of my doctor's appointments with me. She taught my husband how to support me and they created the best team together. Alyssa used different modalities to help me feel comfortable. I especially liked the tens unit, counter pressure, and massage. I couldn't have survived as long as I did without those. Alyssa came weeks before my birthing time to help with any questions or concerns I had so that I felt prepared. I also felt more confident having her at the hospital because she is a nurse and knows how to advocate for her clients. And let me just throw this out there because I believe in honest reviews. Alyssa was affordable because she believes every woman should have the support they need. She went above and beyond what I ever expected. There are expensive doulas out there... a bigger price tag does not always mean quality. You will not regret having Alyssa as your doula.

I started my journey as a Reiki Therapist over ten years ago. After some personal trauma in my life in 2017 I started learning therapy specific to survivors of abuse. In 2020 I became a doula, but took my last birth in 2022 to focus on my education as a nurse. My goal is to become a trauma-informed midwife helping women and survivors have honored births.

Recent review

Robyn has been a God-send for us. More effective than our doctors have been and more proactively helpful than a therapist. I have recommended her to several friends, even my close friends.

Hi, I’m Caryn Allen, certified childbirth educator, birth doula, and postpartum doula. I was born and raised in the Saint Louis, Missouri area but have called Utah my home since 2013. My husband and I met when he came to Missouri to do summer sales, and what started out as a summer romance turned into 14 years of marriage, 5 moves in 3 states, 4 children, 1 dog, and loads of fun. I enjoy board and card games, sewing, crocheting, movie watching, Dungeons and Dragons, and a good camping trip. I have dreams of one day living on a small farm with a variety of animals, doing birth work for animals and humans alike. I believe that birth is one of the most empowering and transformative experiences a woman can ever go through. How she chooses to give birth will affect her mind, body, and spirit for the rest of her life. I passionately believe that knowledge is power, and with that power comes the potential for truly wonderful birthing experiences. I became a birth worker to help women and their partners know and feel empowered in their choices, and to help them feel supported during the beautiful and intimate process of bringing a new life into the world.

My path to become a doula began with my first powerful and transformative experience giving birth. I left the hospital in awe of my innate strength and what my body could do. The more I talked with others, the more I realized my empowering birth was not the norm. I am a doula because I have a deep passion for helping others feel safe, seen, and supported in their journey through birth so they can discover their strength and have a positive experience. I believe the way we are treated during pregnancy and birth matters immensely and everyone deserves support. I am here to be a guide through your unique birth journey, witness your strength, encourage you to listen to your intuition, and help inform about your options, every step of the way. ​ ​Before I gave birth to my four sweet babies, I earned a bachelor’s degree in human development. I am a DONA trained doula and advanced VBAC Link certified. I am an avid reader and love to learn about all things pregnancy, birth, women’s health, and natural living. I enjoy hiking, yoga, traveling, collecting houseplants, deep one-on-one conversations, and playing games with my family. I am excited to meet you and hear part of your story!
