About

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

Alyssa has been an incredibly important and significant part of our family over the last 3 years and we feel so lucky to have found her! Alyssa began caring for our then almost 1 year old son back in the summer of 2021 and she still cares for Oliver today and is now also caring for our 16 week old. She's been a huge help to us after our second child was born, helping with newborn care, toddler care, as well as household needs such as meal prepping, laundry, and a variety of other odds and ends around the house that are so helpful after a new baby is born. There is nobody I trust more, and we're so fortunate to have her continued support in raising our children. 

 

Alyssa has such a loving nature, and we especially are impressed by her attentiveness, open communication style, punctuality, willingness to help, and most of all the way she initiates so many fun daily adventures, projects, and learning opportunities when she's with our children. We love how she sends us a daily recap of the day with pictures and a breakdown of the day, the activities they did and insights so we always feel connected to their day to day which as a mother is so helpful when we're away from our children all day. 

 

Alyssa is a true gem and families will be so lucky to have her support in the postpartum period and beyond.

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.

​

  • Postpartum / Newborn Care/ Family Services : $50/hr daytime and/or nighttime

  • ($55/hr outside of Boulder County) 

  • Abortion/Loss/Bereavement Doula: Donated time
