My Story

I have been supporting pregnant women and new moms for over 15 years as a nanny, family member, and friend. When one of my best friends told me she was pregnant, all the knowledge I had acquired over the years about pregnancy, labor, and birth came pouring out. I could tell that she and her partner felt overwhelmed and unsure how to advocate for themselves in the upcoming situations they would face. In that moment, a switch flipped, and I realized that I needed to become a birth doula so I could support them through this in a recognized capacity. I am now certifying as a Birth Doula through DONA International and my desire to perform this role has grown even stronger and expanded beyond my friends and family.

 

Currently based in Westminster, CO my goal as a doula is to provide moms and partners with the emotional and physical support they need in order to have a wonderful birthing experience. With Delicate Powers Birth Doula Services you can rest assured that you and your family will be taken care of. I approach birth with a unique combination of empathy and strength and will help you advocate for yourself and feel empowered to make your birth experience exactly what you want it to be. I feel honored to be a part of this delicate and powerful experience with you.

What do I believe?

I believe that pregnancy and birth are two of the most powerful experiences in this life. I also believe that this incredible and natural experience has become overmedicalized and that as a society, we have lost sight of what an incredible and life-changing experience birth is. My goal as a doula is to help women harness their power and use their voice to have the experience they desire and to recognize that birth is not just another "everyday event".

I do not romanticize labor, it will be hard and it will hurt, but by being in touch with your body and understanding your options, my hope is that you will feel like your birth was an empowering experience and that your voice was heard. If you feel that I may be good fit for you, please reach out for an initial consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Giving birth like a feminist isn't about declining everything, it is about knowing that you can, and the shift in the power dynamic this brings.”

Milli Hill 
Give Birth like a Feminist

At Delicate Powers, we believe that every birthing person deserves a safe, empowering, and joyful birth experience, and I am dedicated to making this a reality. I use the terms woman, mother, mom, and female but acknowledge and am inclusive of all birthing people and will respect your pronouns and chosen descriptors.
