About Jamie
Hi There and Welcome!
I’m Jamie, a certified birth and postpartum doula for Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas. I completed my birth doula certification with DONA International as well as training with The Catholic Doula Program. I am also certified as a postpartum doula through Madriella Network. I am an Approved Doula for Beginnings Birth Center where I also have worked as a Birth Center Assistant. I am also a Tricare Approved Birth Doula and soon to be a Colorado Medicaid Doula Provider!
My Mission
As a birth doula, my mission is to provide unwavering emotional, physical, and informational support to families, while also offering spiritual encouragement throughout their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experiences. I understand the sacredness and miracle of life, viewing each birth as a gift from God. My faith serves as a foundation for my care, as I embrace the principles of compassion, grace, and respect. My goal is to bring an extra layer of love and faith to the birthing experience.
A Little About Me
I am originally from Wyoming, but I now proudly call Colorado my home, where I share my life with my incredible husband of two decades and our four amazing children, aged 10 to 17. My husband and I are both engineers, but I chose to stay home once we started to grow our family. I still remember being nervous when I was pregnant with my first son and a thoughtful friend handed me a stack of Hypnobabies CDs and recommended that I find a doula. I had no idea what a doula was, but it ended up being one of the best decisions I ever made. Her support helped me through 23 hours of intense back labor and I will be forever grateful to her! Subsequent positive birth experiences reinforced my passion for pregnancy and childbirth, inspiring me to extend my assistance to other families on their journey to parenthood.
In my busy life, homeschooling my children and shuttling them to various sports and music lessons, I find joy in the quieter moments: reading, crocheting, doing puzzles, and hiking.
My Passion for Helping Women
Beyond my role as a doula, I have a passion for aiding expectant mothers facing unexpected pregnancies. I am a resource partner with The Avi Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing invaluable resources, education, and emotional support to college students grappling with pregnancy in Colorado. I am also proud to serve as an "Angel" for The Gabriel Project, a program designed to extend outreach to pregnant and parenting women facing challenges. Through The Gabriel Project, we offer unwavering prayer and loving support throughout their pregnancy journey.
