My name is Vanessa and I’m a mother of 2 . I have worked with new mothers & newborns for over 14 years mainly in a hospital setting, then transitioned from working in the postpartum department to becoming a postpartum doula in 2022. I truly have a passion for serving and helping others. I believe the postpartum / 4th trimester stage is a crucial one that should be focused on healing, resting, bonding, nourishing, and fully embracing & enjoying those first precious moments with your new bundle of joy. My mission is to support & nurture new mothers so they can feel a weight lifted off as they savor this challenging, but rewarding time with their newborn and family.

As a doula my greatest desire is for you to have the birth you envisioned no matter what that looks like. I would love to support your unmedicated or medicated hospital birth, water birth, caesarean birth, or birth center birth. By providing you emotional, physical, and informational support throughout your birth journey you can feel confident, knowledgeable, and prepared to have an amazing birth.

Hi! I am a certified birth doula, childbirth educator and birth/newborn photographer. I would love to see all women have the education and support they need to have their best birth experiences possible! Childbirth, even for experienced mothers, is a vulnerable and intimate time in a person's life and should be treated with with reverence, respect and dignity. It is also a fun and exciting transformation for a family! I am here to witness it all, be by your side, educate, advocate, and help you through the most challenging parts.

I love helping birthing people and their partners discover the magic of Birth Days. I love helping them realize that they have a voice in how the story of this day will go. Women are strong and when we educate them we empower them. I became a doula in 2019 and feel tremendous gratitude for each couple who has let me join them on their treasured day. I have 5 babies of my own, and was a gestational carrier for my last pregnancy. Each baby was born in their own unique way. I do not believe there is one right way to birth, rather there is one right way to treat the mother— with respect.

After the birth of my second child, I found myself struggling with postpartum depression. Even though I had a good support system, there were many factors at play that left me feeling depressed, anxious, and like I wasn't a good mom.  Thankfully, I was able to receive appropriate care and I was soon feeling better! I felt so incredibly loved and held as I did the work to recover. Because of the wonderful support I experienced from the birth and postpartum world, I decided to transition from my former career of 16 years as a veterinary technician. I am currently in the process of becoming certified as a postpartum doula through CAPPA and I am so excited to continue supporting the new families in my community!

I’m a doula dedicated to compassionately guiding women and their birth companions through an incredible journey of strength, resilience, and empowerment. We are created to birth our babies into this world. That process is more than just an event- it is a transformation. As a doula, I carry this philosophy at the core of my approach. I believe in the innate strength within every woman, and my role is to guide and empower you, alongside the rest of your birth team, on your unique journey. Furthermore, I firmly believe that as we face our fears and discomfort, we have the potential to emerge stronger and more resilient. Birth, with all its uncertainties and challenges, provides a crucial opportunity for personal growth. This strength carries with us through the rest of our lives and empowers us in our role as a mother. I recognize the invaluable role that partners, grandmothers, sisters and others play. My doula support extends beyond the individual, creating a collaborative and inclusive environment that fosters a sense of unity and support. I hold a deep belief in the sacred nature of birth. My faith in God informs every aspect of my doula practice, guiding me to approach birth with reverence and gratitude. I would be honored to guide you on your journey.

Hello! I am a Certified Birth Doula serving families in Salt Lake and Utah counties. I am passionate about helping moms and their partners have the AMAZING birth experiences they deserve. I have always thought that pregnancy and birth are the most incredible things in the world. While battling infertility the last few years, I found myself feeling a lack of purpose in my life. This led me to birth work and becoming a birth doula. From the fascinating training to the first birth I attended, I knew this was the purpose I was looking for. I became a Birth Boot Camp Certified Birth Doula in January 2024. I passionately believe that every mom can and deserves to have a positive birth experience, whatever that looks like to her. I look forward to helping you achieve that!

Hello, I'm Madi! I’m honored to walk alongside you as we explore the world of childbirth together. My own birth experience was a mix of empowerment and trauma, leading to self-doubt and a loss of confidence. However, through those challenges, I discovered a deeper appreciation for motherhood, birth, informed consent, and the resilience of our bodies. I'm so excited to support you through this journey of spirituality and the unstoppable feeling that comes with embracing motherhood.
