About Amanda-certified Birth and bereavement Doula

Amanda is a Certified Birth and Bereavement Doula and former pediatric Medical Assistant of 18 years. She was born into a military family and has since lived in various states across the United States, before eventually settling back down in Colorado in 2006. Here, she has dedicated herself to raising her three children with her husband on their land out in the Eastern Plains. She enjoys being outdoors, music, plants, reading and being creative.

Following her career in pediatrics, Amanda felt a deep-seated calling to the birthworker field. She pursued this passion by obtaining her training as a Birth Doula from Denver Doula Training and completed a second training to become a Certified Birth and Bereavement Doula through StillBirthday. She is also in the process of certifying through DONA International. Since her doula training, Amanda has continued her education by diving into the world of bodywork and fascial release and how they relate to birth. This along with her vast knowledge of anatomy and physiology has made her asset in any birth space.

Amanda is also a certified yoga teacher, trained through Authentic Movements and Certified Placenta Preparation Specialist. Along with all of this, she offers birth photography, bereavement/loss support, bereavement photography, breast milk and cremation jewelry, NICU support, and sibling doula support.

Amanda's mission is to educate and support expecting parents during one of the most significant and vulnerable events of their lives. She firmly believes in the uniqueness of every person, baby and birth, and is committed to treating each one as such. Amanda views the birth space as sacred and brings deep compassion, trust and empowerment to each birthing space.

With an unwavering dream of a future where a doula is an integral part of each and every birth team, Amanda is dedicated to ensuring the arrival of every baby is approached with mindfulness and respect.
