Meet Lindsay, BD/PPD
Lindsay is a Colorado native and lives in Aurora with her husband and three children. Lindsay has always been interested in pregnancy, birth and postpartum. After she had her children, she realized there is a definite need for Doula support, knowledge and advocacy, so she changed her career path and trained to become a certified Doula and now attends and supports births. Lindsay also works with a local non-profit organization offering on-call Doula support to a local hospital where she attends and supports one to two births per month. Helping birthing people is truly her passion and love.
Continuing education is very important to Lindsay. She is constantly learning new techniques so she can best serve and support her clients. Beside being knowledgeable in pregnancy, birth, postpartum and placenta encapsulation, Lindsay can also assist with cloth diapering, wash routines and other zero waste options for babies. Lindsay is always available to answer any questions.

What People Are Saying
“My partner and I chose to work with Lindsay for the birth of our first child for so many reasons: her sense of sisterhood; her firsthand and secondhand experience with a variety of uncomplicated and complicated births; her certification in placenta encapsulation; her low waste knowledge and natural practices; her thoroughness and responsiveness; her familiarity with my birth preferences; and her passion for the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences. Lindsay didn't just show up and support me and my partner during the birth of my son, she went above and beyond with organized folders full of valuable information for pregnancy through postpartum, a postpartum comfort package, a detailed birth debriefing (because naturally my memory was blurred!), spending extra time with us during our postpartum visits, and always being quick to respond to calls and texts when I would worry or feel lost. Thanks to Lindsay, I stuck to my birth preferences and had an intense but beautiful and low-stress birth experience. I can't recommend Lindsay enough!”
-Birth client, Denver, CO
“Lindsay made my birth magical. I felt in control because she was with me the whole time reassuring me that what was going on was supposed to be going on. My husband was so happy we hired a doula because he had no idea what he was doing.”
-Birth Client, Denver, CO
“Lindsay's breathing work helped me so much. Her being there made me feel safe and empowered to birth my way. She is so encouraging.”
-Birth Client, Englewood, CO
“She believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. She reminded me that I could do it and that I was already doing it. I couldn't have done it without her.”
