Bonnie and Rebecca first met in 2013 while working together in a midwifery clinic in Boulder, where they supported growing families through pregnancy and birth. Their connection became even more meaningful in 2014, when Bonnie served as Rebecca’s doula as Rebecca and her family welcomed their second child, a daughter.

Today, they continue to support families together as birth doulas, bringing their individual strengths, extensive experience, and shared passion for birth into their work. Their strong friendship allows them to support one another personally and professionally, helping each of them remain grounded, inspired, and fully present for the families they serve.

Rebecca is also developing her craft as a birth and maternity photographer, capturing the beauty of pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood through timeless images. She teaches Birthing From Within childbirth classes through Belly Bliss in Denver, offering families thoughtful preparation for the emotional and physical journey of birth.

Balancing family life with the careers they both deeply love has strengthened their friendship and made them better doulas. When they are not attending births, teaching, or supporting families, Bonnie and Rebecca can often be found hiking together or enjoying sushi on their days off.

I’ve had the honor of guiding over 800 families through the transformative journey of childbirth as a birth doula. My work has taken me to 15 different hospitals, birth centers, and even a few homes across Boulder County and Denver. Supporting families through the raw emotions of new parenthood and the profound experience of welcoming new life has been a lifestyle I am proud to have lived.

In addition to my traditional hospital doula support, I am proud to be on the handpicked doula team of the only birth center in Boulder, Boulder Birth Holistic Health. I also teach childbirth classes at the birth center monthly (see my schedule under my contact page) and in the privacy of families homes. I’ve served as a midwifery assistant in three ob-gyn/midwifery offices. My background in communication along with my experience in end-of-life care, allows me to build deep, meaningful connections with families during this vulnerable and transformative time.

In 2020, I combined my love for birth, babies, and connection. And created a birth doula training program. The program offers an immersive experience for women interested in the birthing process. Many women have taken the course during their pregnancy. Wanting a career change or simply to be immersed into a 3 day deep dive into the science and art of birth this course is for you.

Once upon a time I lived in Maui, Hawaii. Today I am back in Boulder where I grew up and raised my own children. In my personal time, I enjoy hiking and I can be found laughing over coffee with friends, practicing yoga, spending time with my two children. I look forward to hearing about your pregnancy journey and birth wishes. I believe that there is no wrong way to give birth. Your desires are important and you deserve to be supported.

Each doula brings her own unique strengths, experience, and approach, while we remain united in the belief that every family deserves to feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period.

With more than 100 years of combined birth experience, our team offers a remarkable depth of knowledge, wisdom, and continuity of care. We support one another and provide trusted backup when needed, allowing families to feel confident that they will be cared for by an experienced doula who shares the values and standards of our team.
