Private sessions
Support by the session
One-on-one time for preparing for birth, adjusting to postpartum, or processing a birth you’ve already had. No package required — and welcome even if you already have a doula. Held virtually; in-home may be available depending on my schedule and your location.
Support Session
$100
Four-Session Series
$350
Saves $50
Birth pool rental
For families planning to labor in water
Available on its own or alongside any package.
$65
Everything you need to set up, warm, and empty the pool arrives with it. I’ll walk you through it beforehand so your partner isn’t reading instructions during labor.
What’s included
- Air pump for inflation
- Water pump for emptying
- Cover to retain heat
- Tarp for the floor
Add on
- Submersible heater — $10
A liner is required and purchased separately, so every family labors in a brand-new one. Order the Maxi Regular liner from La Bassine Birth Pools.

A note on scope
These services provide non-clinical education, support, and coaching related to pregnancy, birth, postpartum adjustment, and motherhood. They are not psychotherapy, mental-health counseling, diagnosis, or treatment. When a client’s needs extend beyond the scope of doula or support services, appropriate referral to a licensed healthcare or mental-health professional will be recommended.
Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
What does a doula do?
A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I help you understand your options, prepare for birth, stay steady during labor, and move into life with your newborn with confidence. My role is to support you and the vision you have for your birth.
Are you medically trained?
No. Doulas are non-medical professionals. I don’t diagnose, perform medical exams, or make medical decisions. I work alongside your midwife or OB to help you feel informed, calm, and fully supported.
Do you hold any certifications?
Yes. My Birth Doula Certification and my Lactation Specialist Certification are both through Doula and Nurturing Traditions (DNT Network). I’m also certified in Neonatal Resuscitation and in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR and First Aid, and I carry full malpractice and liability insurance.
Before birth work, I spent over 20 years as a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado, much of it supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Doulas aren’t required to be certified, since the work is non-medical — but I pursue ongoing training so the families I serve get the benefit of both preparation and experience.
What’s the difference between your three packages?
All three include the same care through pregnancy and birth: two prenatal visits, on-call availability from 37 weeks, phone and text support, and my presence through labor and birth. What changes is how much support you have afterward.
Birth Essentials includes one postpartum visit. Birth & Beyond adds a second postpartum visit plus an in-home lactation visit. Complete Journey keeps those two postpartum visits and adds a personalized support session you can use before or after your birth, a lactation follow-up, and the Holistic Birth Class at no charge.
If you’re not sure, start with the free consultation. We can talk through what your first weeks at home are likely to look like, and pick from there.
What does in-home lactation support involve?
I come to your home for about 90 minutes and watch a full feeding, then work with you on latch, positioning, comfort, and whatever is making feeding hard right now. We finish with a plan you can actually follow, and I’ll refer you on if something needs a clinician’s eyes. Follow-up visits run 60 minutes.
You don’t need to have been a doula client. You can also book a prenatal session before your baby arrives if you’d rather prepare ahead of time. See lactation support for pricing.
Do you work with Christian families or those who want faith-based support?
Yes. I am a Christian and am happy to support families who want prayer, Scripture, or faith-centered encouragement woven into their birth experience. If that’s something you want, I honor it. If not, that’s absolutely fine too — you will receive the same respect, care, and wholehearted support either way.
Do you work with hospital births, birth center births, and home births?
Yes. I support families in all birth settings, including hospitals, birth centers, and home births. My goal is to help you feel grounded and supported wherever you choose to give birth.
Do you support epidurals or medicated births?
Absolutely. Whether you choose an epidural, an unmedicated birth, an induction, or a VBAC, I support your decisions. My job is to make sure you feel empowered and informed, not pushed in any direction.
When should I hire a doula?
Most families hire between 12 and 20 weeks, but there’s no wrong time to reach out. I take a limited number of clients so each family gets real attention, so booking earlier helps if you want to be sure of availability.
Do you offer virtual support?
Yes, for prenatal and postpartum sessions — those are regularly available virtually, and it’s often the easier option.
Labor support is in person. Virtual labor support is a backup I’d use only if I couldn’t reach you in time or something genuinely prevented me from being there.
How do I know if you’re the right doula for me?
We’ll start with a free consultation. That gives you room to ask questions, talk through your hopes, and get a feel for how I work. You deserve a doula you feel comfortable and safe with — and if that’s not me, I’d rather help you find her.
What areas do you serve?
I serve families throughout Northern Colorado, including Windsor, Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Severance, Johnstown, Wellington, and surrounding communities.
