“If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.”

John H. Kennell, MD

DOULA SERVICES

After experiencing our own powerful, unmedicated births and seeing firsthand the difference that informed, compassionate support can make, we both felt called to walk alongside other families during this incredible season.

Through our combined years of supporting and educating families—and plenty of military moves along the way—we’ve had the opportunity to serve families in different communities and experience many different approaches to birth. Those experiences have shaped the way we support our clients today: with education, encouragement, hands-on support, and a genuine desire to help each family feel confident and cared for.

Now, we’re excited to bring our shared passion for birth and our heart for serving military families to Colorado Springs—together.

What is a Doula

A doula (/ˈduːlə/), also known as a birth companion and post-birth supporter, is a non-medical person who assists a person before, during, and/or after childbirth, as well as her spouse and/or family, by providing physical assistance and emotional support.

Did you know that having a doula has been shown to decrease the time you’re in labor by 25%, reduce your chance of a C-section by 50% and decrease your likelihood of needing an epidural by 60%? We aren’t technically superheroes but…

OUR ROLE AS YOUR DOULAS

As doulas, we provide physical, emotional, and informational support—not medical care. We do not perform clinical tasks or make decisions for you. Instead, we help you understand your options, ask questions, communicate your preferences, and feel confident making informed decisions throughout your birth.

Our hope is that you leave your birth feeling heard, supported, and proud of the way you navigated your experience.

THE BENEFIT OF A DOULA DUO

With two doulas working together, you get the reassurance of continuous support with a built-in backup. You’ll meet and build a relationship with both of us throughout your pregnancy, so when the time comes, you’ll have a familiar, trusted doula by your side.

We share prenatal visits, education, and on-call responsibilities, allowing us to support you with fresh hands and perspective when labor is long or especially challenging. If labor extends beyond 12 hours, we may also switch out so you can continue receiving continuous support while your doula gets a chance to rest and recharge.

Most importantly, you’re not just hiring one doula—you’re gaining two women who genuinely care about you, your birth, and your family.

Our goal is to help you feel informed, confident, supported, and cared for throughout your pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum.
