Alyssa Audrey's Doula Services
About Me
Hello! I am a DONA International certified postpartum doula who has lived in Colorado since 2010. I hold a Bachelors of Science in Health Education, as well as a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have extensive experience supporting, educating, and nurturing families in different childcare capacities for the last 16 years.
I have a penchant for postpartum and newborn care and am passionate about supporting families as they transition into parenthood being it with their firstborn or fourth! I always strive to meet families' needs with ease, flexibility, and warmth. On top of newborn and postpartum support I also can help as a Sibling Doula with older sibling childcare while parents welcome their newest additions to their family.
My own experiences with pregnancy, birth, pregnancy loss and motherhood are what inspired me to embark on the journey of supporting others navigating their perinatal experience. I have trained with and am a member of The Institute of Birth, Breath and Death and can provide trauma informed bereavement and loss support. Holding space for others who are walking the path of grief during the most sensitive times is a skill that I hold dear to my heart.
For my own wellness I love doing yoga, camping in our popup with my family, escaping to the beach, baking, and you can always find me curled up in a good book.
I look forward to learning more about your family's needs!

Testimonials
Investment
Doula care is truly an investment in the long term well-being of yourself and your family. The benefits of support are numerous and proven. It takes a village; tried and true. These days, living a significant distance from our family support systems is a reality for most. The cost of travel, time off from work and the logistics of hosting family in from out of town can be prohibitive. Under these circumstances and more, hiring a trained and experienced doula means ensuring the support you need is there for you when & how you need it. Services are planned and agreed upon; professionalism always maintained.
