Denver-Boulder, Colorado Birth Doula
Feel grounded, capable, and truly supported—before, during, and after.
Whether you're looking for someone to be by your side in labor—or a steady, compassionate guide to help you prepare, reflect, and navigate the journey—I’m here to hold that space with you.
Birth is natural. So why doesn’t it feel as straightforward as you expected?
Maybe it’s the endless opinions—about what you should do, how you should feel, or what a “good birth” looks like. Maybe it’s the pressure to plan for something that’s inherently unpredictable. Or maybe it’s just that no one told you how emotional it can be—surrendering to something so deeply uncontrollable.
Despite what others may say, there’s no one “right” way to give birth (or raise a child, for that matter). There’s only your way—rooted in your values, your body, your preferences, your story, and of course, the way your baby needs to come into the world.
Two people can have nearly identical births on paper and walk away with completely different experiences. That’s because birth is more than what happens in your body—it’s what happens in your mind, your heart, and your sense of self.
It’s natural, primal, instinctual, yes—but also deeply personal and nuanced.
You deserve support that honors that. Not just someone who shows up, but someone who gets it—who gets you. Someone who helps you sort through the noise, ask the right questions for your family, and feel clear and grounded in your own decisions—whatever those look like when the time comes.
That’s what I’m here for—whether I’ll be there in the labor room with you or just holding space in all the moments around it.
You aren't just preparing for birth...
Research shows that continuous support during labor can lead to shorter labors, fewer interventions, and a more positive birth experience. And when that support comes from someone who knows how to center you—your values, your voice, your emotional well-being—it can change the way the entire experience feels.
Still, birth day support alone only scratches the surface.
The days and weeks leading up to birth—and the stretch of time that follows—hold just as much weight. How you prepare. How you’re supported as your body and life shift. How you make decisions and recover and find your footing again.
That’s where the real transformation happens.
And that’s where this kind of care makes the biggest difference.
This isn’t just about showing up for one day. It’s about creating a container of support that holds you through the whole experience—so you feel clear, capable, and connected before, during, and after your baby arrives.
You’re preparing for a life-changing transition
Preparing is about more than checking boxes—but it doesn’t have to feel complicated.
See What's Included
That’s why the way I support clients isn’t solely focused on labor and birth—because this transition is about so much more than just your baby’s birth day. I hold space for everything birth touches—your body, your relationships, your village, your work, your mindset, and even your identity.
We’ll work together to prepare your mind and body for what’s ahead, get clear on your preferences and priorities, build your support system, and talk through what life after birth might actually look and feel like. You’ll have space to reflect, ask questions, make confident decisions, and shift from survival mode to something more grounded.
When the big day arrives, you’ll have the tools, clarity, and support you need to feel grounded and ready to navigate birth—with or without me in the room. And after your baby’s here, we’ll keep showing up to navigate the labyrinth together—because those early weeks and months can be tender, confusing, and beautiful all at once.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s responsive, personalized care that centers you.
Imagine how it would be to actually feel ready.
This isn’t one-size. It’s built around you.
Choose the support that fits best
Ways to work with me
Birth is just one part of the story.
My approach is designed to support you through every phase—preparing with intention, navigating the intensity of labor, and finding your footing in postpartum.
That’s why I offer three tiers of care—so you can get the support you need, exactly when you need it. Every package includes foundational support: prenatal planning, postpartum check-ins, and ongoing messaging. From there, we’ll tailor the rest based on your preferences, goals, and the kind of care that feels most supportive to you.
Whether you're looking for thoughtful preparation, full-spectrum support with hands-on birth care, or something in between—we’ll build a package that fits your family, your needs, and your season of life.
✨ I take on a limited number of in-person birth clients in the Denver–Boulder area each year to ensure each family (including my own) receives the presence and care they deserve.
I can help you process your birth story, support your body through recovery, navigate feeding or sleep challenges, or make a plan for your return to work—logistically and emotionally.
When labor begins, I can be there—virtually, in person, or in spirit—to help you feel steady and supported through every wave.
We’ll explore your values, build a flexible plan, prepare your body, talk through mindset tools and coping strategies, and start imagining what postpartum might actually look and feel like.
What working together can look like…
Support that meets you where you are—and stays with you through what’s next.
Every family is different, which is why our work together is always tailored to you. But here’s a general idea of what your birth support package could include at each stage of the road ahead:
However your story unfolds, this care is designed to walk beside you—not just during birth, but through the full transition into parenthood.
“The key to Richelle's expertise, and what sets her apart from other doulas and birth & parenthood courses is the way she builds relationships for the long term, not just for a moment in time. She prepared my husband and me to welcome a new baby with the most thorough information and the most warm and understanding mindset. She then guided me through labor and delivery in a way that I never could have imagined. She was supportive, smart, always goes above and beyond, caring, confident, and overall a total bad ass by my side in the hospital. She had clearly been in my shoes and knew the exactly right thing to say at the exactly right moment :). I don't think I could have had the same quality birth experience without her, and I knew Richelle was someone I wanted in my life after birth.
Fast forward - I am now five months postpartum and have participated in her From Pregnant to Parent program, including a community of moms all navigating their first year of baby's life. The community group is awesome, supportive, and Richelle doubles as both a coach and peer willing to lend an empathetic ear. Richelle's offering that spans months before baby arrives, to many months after allows her to develop great relationships with her clients and their growing families. I am so grateful for the investment Richelle has made in me and my family and look forward to many more years of friendship and support!”

“I cannot recommend Richelle enough! Our relationship started as she was our doula at the birth of our first kiddo. As first time parents, we would have been absolutely lost without her! She helped coach us through different positions, breathing techniques, what to expect next, what the nurses and doctors were doing, when to push, how to push, and stayed to support for a while after delivery as well. It made my experience of labor and delivery so seamless that I look back on it fondly when so many women walk away from birth with trauma.
Our relationship deepened when she offered me space into her course on “Navigating the First Year.” As a new mom with no mom friends in my area, I needed space with other moms with support. I joined the group 12 days postpartum and immediately found the support I longed for. I stayed for 9 months and met weekly with other moms discussing topics varying from breastfeeding to sleep schedules to postpartum everything. Richelle challenges you in ways that has you leaving the call feeling empowered to tackle your week until you meet again. Richelle has been the best mentor, coach, doula, sleep expert, and all things motherhood. She’s also become an incredible friend. I recommend Richelle and any and all courses she offers to anyone! You will only walk away a better person after knowing her!”

Trained, certified, and experienced in birth, babies, and parenthood.
Professionally trained. Parent-tested. Personally invested.
“What truly distinguishes the From Pregnant to Parent program is the unwavering commitment to preparing parents for birth and the whirlwind that follows.
My sessions leading up to birth were not just informative, they were invaluable, equipping me with knowledge, strategies, and above all, a sense of calm amidst the anticipation of our first kid.
And the postpartum support group became a sanctuary during the chaos of the early months. Surrounded by fellow parents navigating similar waters, I found solace, understanding, and practical advice.
It's where my exhaustion met empathy, confusion met clarity, and overwhelming emotions found a safe space to be expressed. I cannot recommend this community enough! This isn't just a service but a lifeline for the transition from pregnancy to parenthood.”

“I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with Richelle for doula and postpartum support for both of my pregnancies and births. She has both an expertise in all things birth and parenthood but also education, so my husband and I really felt like all of her support was carefully and thoughtfully tailored to meet us where we were at.
In particular, in preparing for my second birth, Richelle was there to skillfully help us process my first birth experience in order to set aside anxieties and feel empowered for my second. Not only was it incredibly healing, it was also productive, in that it enabled us to have a stronger sense of agency going into my second birth.
Richelle is charting out a new and much-needed model of supporting new parents, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have benefited from her care and guidance.”

"From day 1 working with a Richelle as our Doula was one of the best pre parenting moves we made. This was our first baby and while we had a small clue of what the adventure ahead looked like, Richelle provided us with a plethora of knowledge to support us as new parents and a wealth of options to suit our life style and core values.
All of our classes and meetups were via zoom which was very convenient for my husband and I and we got to know Richelle so well during this time, when show time came and it was time to head to the hospital we truly felt we had a best friend and advocate present, we even had a few surprises pop up and she was there to support with options before the hospital staff gave us any.
From communication to one of a kind mentoring we couldn’t have picked a better doula and look forward to sharing her with future friends and family looking for get support."

"I worked with Richelle to prepare for the birth of my son as well as sleep consultations at various stages. She offered such a nonjudgmental, safe, and collaborative environment where we were able to come up with a variety of solutions and ideas to try so that we could ultimately find answers that worked for our baby and our individual family needs.
This was not a simple to do list to prepare or set of rules to follow but rather personalized discussions to learn about our specific wants and needs so she was able to offer support, knowledge, and resources that felt unique to us!
I would highly recommend working with Richelle for pregnancy, parenting, sleep, and beyond!"
