Hello! My name is Racquel. I am an advocate to my core. I have always been passionate about advocacy and support. It is my belief that we can all make better decisions when armed with the right information. We have choices in everything we do.

Pregnancy, child birth and pregnancy loss are sacred times and can also be scary. It is my goal to help ease the fear and focus more the on the sacredness of this time. All women deserve support regardless of their journey; whether that is pregnancy, miscarriage, still birth, abortion, birth and postpartum.

As a birth doula, social worker, and proud parent parent of two incredible daughters, my journey into birth work is deeply personal and rooted in both lived experience and professional purpose.

My name is Jawanna Gaines, and I walk with women and families across the thresholds of birth, postpartum, womb healing, and, when needed, loss. My own journey — through womb surgeries, healing, and the calling into doula work — attuned me to the deep wisdom of the body and the sacred nature of life’s passages. I believe birth, like death, is not only a physical event but also a spiritual initiation — one that deserves to be witnessed, honored, and held with reverence. My philosophy is rooted in presence, intentionality, and ceremony. I am here not to direct your path, but to hold steady light as you cross your own, offering care that is gentle, grounded, and deeply human.

Hi my name is Jessica! I live in Denver on our family farm with my husband and 2 kids. I’ve been passionate about pregnancy and childbirth since I can remember. I originally trained as a birth doula in 2011, gained some experience and then we started our own family. The doula lifestyle wasn’t something that worked for us while my babies were small. I took about 10 years off from birth work (besides doing births for family) until 2023 when I felt called back to birth work, and I re-trained and certified. I deeply enjoy getting to know my clients and assisting with getting them confident and ready for their birth. I hope to provide my clients with everything they need to make informed decisions that are right for them, feeling confident to advocate for themselves and bringing a calming presence into their birth space, whether that’s at home, at the birth center or a hospital.

My role is to hold steady space for you so you can feel informed, supported, and deeply connected to your own intuition. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with: • Evidence-based education • Emotional grounding and reassurance • Breathwork and relaxation techniques • Gentle movement and comfort measures • Group support and guidance • Advocacy and informed decision-making support Whether you are planning a hospital birth, birth center experience, or home birth, my intention is the same — to help you feel safe, respected, and empowered in your choices. I honor your birth as your experience. Your voice matters. Your instincts matter. Your story matters. Birth asks us to soften and to rise at the same time. I am here to help you do both. With love and steady presence, Ari
