Our Team
Bonnie Slater
I am Bonnie Slater, a dedicated mother of two and an experienced birth and postpartum doula, birth doula trainer, and women’s relational leader.
Since 1996, I've had the privilege of supporting more than 700 families through the transformative journey of childbirth, supporting the raw emotions of new parents and the miracle of new life. My experience spans across 15 different hospitals, birth centers, and numerous homes in both Boulder, Colorado and Maui, Hawaii.
Beyond my doula practice, I've contributed to three ob-gyn/midwifery offices as a midwifery assistant. My educational background includes studying psychology and nursing and working end-of-life care. I leverage my skills to create meaningful connections by supporting each unique family during a transformative and vulnerable time of life.
In 2020, I merged my passions for babies, birth and fostering connections to establish Doulas of Maui LLC. This venture is a birth doula training program, conducted biannually and held on the island of Maui. Women who are interested in the birth process, wanting to become pregnant soon, aspire to become doulas or are pregnant can immerse into a 3 day container taking a deep dive into the world of child birth through the path of doula work. I love my career and teaching the art of becoming a doula is an incredibly satisfying to me.
In my free time I love spend time with my children, hike in the Mtns of Boulder, practice yoga, have coffee with friends, swim and take underwater maternity photos.
Ali
My purpose in this lifetime is assisting birthing people and their partners as they transition into parenthood by offering them the tools, information and support they need to achieve a positive, nurtured experience.
My holistic health background allows me to incorporate and honor the mind-body-spirit connection into my practice, while simultaneously respecting allopathic medicine and all it has to offer. Teaching mindfulness and the innate wisdom of the body is something I really enjoy sharing with my clients. Whatever your path and preferences, I am honored to be a part of the magic of this season. When I am not attending births and supporting families in their postpartum window, you can find me spending time with my husband and son Koa, camping, enjoying mountain living, reading a good novel, or cooking something delicious.

Emma
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Emma is extremely passionate about perinatal healthcare for all birthing people. She studied Outdoor Recreation and Wilderness Medicine at Western Washington University before training as a wilderness EMT and working at an advocacy agency for battered Deaf women and children. From a curiosity stemmed from life experiences and a keen interest in her own birth story, she chose to continue her education, becoming a full-spectrum Doula before moving to Boulder, Colorado.
As a Doula for nearly a decade, she has supported hundreds of families in birth and postpartum, while also supporting her community serving as a founding board member at Sanctuary CARES.
