My Commitment
To YOU

I believe in you and I believe in birth.  Your desires, your wishes, your plan, and expectations for your birth are all valid. I am committed to creating a safe space where you feel seen, heard, and validated as a whole human throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I will remind you of your innate ability to grow, nurture, and birth your baby. I believe that pregnancy and birth are whole-body experiences; and as such, I support each facet, mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical.

You are an individual. No body, baby, or birth is the same. You are in complete control. This is YOUR body, YOUR baby, YOUR birth.

Denver Doula & Birth Support

“Deciding to have a doula at our birth was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. As first-time parents, we couldn’t have imagined how physical and emotional the birth process would end up being for both of us. Twyla’s extensive experience as a doula meant that we had extra context and information for what doctors and nurses were telling us. In my opinion, words don’t do justice to the service that Twyla provides. She stayed with us for almost three full days for our long labor that started as a planned home birth that took us to the hospital and finally to the operating room for a C-section. Twyla was there for all of it. I often tell people that our doula kept us alive! I really do feel that way. I truly don’t know how we could have done it without Twyla.”

I may not be able to walk to the depths of yourself to find that strength, to pull you up, to push past, and move through the hardest parts. But I can promise you this, I will be there when you open your eyes, I will be there with my presence, I will be there with my words and my touch. You are not alone.

“From the moment I met Twyla I knew she was meant to be a part of our story for this baby. We instantly connect over our love of supporting and empowering women and of course birth. Over the course of my pregnancy, her support and friendship were so unexpected but deeply needed. A doula doesn’t just support a woman physically during her birth but emotional support throughout.”

PRICING

Doula work is not one size fits all! I am committed to working with each family on an individual basis. This process is deep. Nothing else in life will ask more of you than birth. It doesn’t matter how or where you have your baby, you will undeniably be changed, like to your chore changed. This is not transactional for me, this is a life long connection.
“I was very fortunate and blessed to have you there. It was very comforting and in the end, we have our Baby Girl! I know it was not the birth i had planned in my heart or mind but I do know that I did feel like I gave my best shot and felt supported and respected the whole time. Much love to you and all the heart you put into being there for me throughout these past few days. It’s very hard to express my thankfulness because no money or gift could ever truly tell you how much of an impact you had by being there for me.”

CONTACT ME

It is so important to have a really clear understanding and expectation for every single person in your birth space. There isn’t room for ambiguity, for uncertainty, or for unchecked energy in birth. Every person you have in your space is energy and you need to be certain that they are the right energy for you. I want to meet you and talk about all the things – let’s chat!
