Your Berthoud area birth doula supporting Labor and delivery and beyond

 I’m a Berthoud, Colorado-based mother of two wonderful boys, ages 4 and 1. My journey into motherhood began with a medically managed hospital birth, where support during labor and postpartum was limited. Navigating postpartum anxiety, depression, and nursing challenges as a single mother was a deeply formative experience.

My second birth—a natural water birth at a birth center attended by midwives and a doula—was profoundly different. It was through that empowering and supported experience that I came to understand the incredible strength of the birthing body, and the vital role that informed, compassionate care plays in a woman’s journey.

As I moved through this transformative chapter, I found myself drawn to learning more about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. I became passionate about the power of nurturing, evidence-based support during this sacred transition. That path ultimately led me to doula work, where I feel deeply called to walk alongside women as they move through one of the most powerful experiences of their lives.

 Before becoming a mother, I spent years as a dancer and fell in love with the strength, creativity, and self-expression that pole fitness offered. After having children, I felt a deep desire to return to that part of myself—not only to continue honoring my own body, but to share this empowering art form with others.

As I pursued certifications in both pole instruction and doula work, I began to recognize a powerful connection between the two. The movements in pole dance—centered on fluidity, strength, balance, and body awareness—can be incredibly supportive during pregnancy and postpartum. Beyond the physical benefits, pole offers something even deeper: a reclamation of self. It helps mothers reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels grounded, sensual, and confident during a time when so much is shifting.

Incorporating pole fitness into my doula practice has become a natural extension of the care I offer—supporting women not only through birth, but in rediscovering their power, pleasure, and presence in their postpartum bodies.
