Meet Kristin
Hi, I’m Kristin (she/her)!
As a certified Birth and Postpartum doula and a mother of five, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my role. Supporting my sister through her three births and serving as a surrogate for a loving family have deepened my appreciation for the miracle of life. Additionally, my upbringing in a family that fostered newborns instilled in me a profound love for caring for infants.
I am deeply grateful and honored for the opportunity to assist families on their perinatal journey.
As your doula, my role is to honor your choices and create a nurturing environment. I recognize the vital role of partners in the birthing process and strive to foster a supportive and unified atmosphere throughout pregnancy and birth.
Throughout our time together, my goal is to empower you with knowledge and understanding of your options and rights, fostering a profound sense of confidence.
With support tailored to diverse birth experiences, I am committed to helping you achieve an empowering birth that embraces the path that suits you best.
I provide comprehensive assistance, including education, physical support, and emotional guidance, enabling you to tap into your instincts, trust evidence-based research, and have faith in your body's capabilities.
I'm here to honor your journey, encompassing all emotions and aspirations.

-Postpartum Client, Denver, CO
I simply can’t imagine going through labor without Kristin. She gracefully guided me through unexpected changes and helped me feel empowered to make decisions about my labor, advocating for myself and my baby in all the areas I could, according to my birth plan. Even when my labor ended in a medically necessary, unplanned c-section, her calm and loving presence in the operating room was something I will never forget!
-Birth Client, Denver CO
“Kristin supported me through the birth of our firstborn. My husband and I took all the classes they recommend you take through the hospital and I still feel that we would have been lost lambs without Kristin. She helped me manage through the entire experience while also ensuring that my husband was being taken care of and properly included. I sincerely could not thank her enough for making my first birthing experience so magical!”
