Boulder Birth Doula Reviews

Birth Assistants of Boulder has a long history serving women and families in Boulder County and surrounding areas. Some feedback from our families…

Thank you for restoring my faith in the birthing process. I am in awe of your constant inspiration. Thank you for shaping my return to motherhood and being there to support me from start to present. Words are not enough to express my breathlessness.

~ Heather Lyn, Lafayette, VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesearan)

I know I counted on being Super Dad, the guy who would rise from the ashes of no sleep and help Amy through all the contractions, but each little hill wore me out…and I was too tired…Not only were you there, clocking in at midnight … but you knew exactly how to touch Amy to help her past the physical pain. And thank you so much for being secure enough to see me in the process. I wonder if men have been left behind as nurturers partly, because they tend to get pushed aside in this process, when they might be most inspired to participate.

~ Eric, Niwot

You really listened to us in the prenatal visit and offered lots of useful ideas which helped us prepare fully for the birth. At the time of labor, you were totally perfect, with helpful words, actions, and emotional support. You were strong and soothing. I really got the birth I had hoped for, but couldn’t imagine I would have. Your support postpartum has been awesome with great breastfeeding tips, recovery advice, and more.

~ Kate, Boulder

She was very friendly and respectful [with my partner]. They worked so well together!

~ Michelle, Boulder

I was able to accomplish my goal: delivering a healthy baby, naturally. It gives me confidence and makes me feel strong. ~ Venessa, Erie

Words cannot express how thankful we are for your role in our birth. Your support and your calm spirit was key to us being able to follow our birth plan and follow through with our wishes to have a natural birth. Thanks so much!

~ Leslie, Lafayette

Without a doubt, our daughter’s birth would not have been such a beautiful and peaceful event had you not been there to provide your enduring support, guidance, and comfort to both of us. Your nurturing presence during the birth itself was a blessing and made us both feel looked after and cared for. I know in my heart that having your support was the single most important reason why we had a successful, drug-free birth experience. We couldn’t be happier that our first birth experience was all that we dared hope it to be! Thank you!

~ Suzanne, Blackhawk

Love Letter to my Doula:

We don’t know each other very well, but you were there for the most intimate, vulnerable, and transformative experience of my life. Now I cannot imagine having done it without you. You gave me the invaluable gift of a natural childbirth, and I will be forever grateful for that

You knew what I needed when I didn’t even know it myself. You were behind the scenes, but directing everything.

You provided me with the support and encouragement I needed. When I didn’t think I could do it, you told me I was already doing it.When I asked about an epidural, you suggested that we wait, and in that time I forgot about it.

You helped ease my physical discomfort.Between you and my husband, someone was always there with me giving me the support I needed.You knew exactly how to apply counter pressure to help me through my contractions. You suggested moving into new positions, and provided props to help me find the best way to manage the pain.

You gave me nourishment that I needed to get through the night. I didn’t know what I wanted, but you gave me honey sticks and they were perfect. You gave me water and helped me rest in between contractions.

You supported my husband and helped him be an amazing coach.You even gave him the gift of a short nap, at a time when he really needed it. Between the two of you, I felt incredibly safe and cared for.

You captured my experience by taking photos and notes. I didn’t even realize you were doing it, but I’m so grateful for the images that remind me of that night and the birth of our son.

There is no way t thank you enough for what you did for me, my husband, and our sweet baby. You are an amazing person and you were the perfect doula for us. We are so lucky to have found you and have you at our birth.From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you.
