Denver Doula Support
Over a decade of experience supporting more than 1,000 births across Colorado.
Grounded, evidence-based care from one of Denver’s most experienced doulas and birth photographers.
After supporting and documenting more than 1,000 births, I know there is no single right way have a baby. I help families feel informed, safe, and deeply supported through their hospital births, homebirths, inductions, epidural births, VBACs, and cesarean births.
Together, we'll prepare for your birth with compassionate support, practical guidance, and the reassurance that you'll not only be fully present in the experience but you'll also be able to revisit it through beautiful, honest images for the rest of your life.
Doula support includes personalized prenatal preparation, continuous labor support, and at least 100 hand-edited birth images. Reach out to Monet to receive her most current packages and to set up a complimentary consultation.
Serving Denver, Boulder, and Surrounding Areas
She has exactly the demeanor I was looking for during my recent VBAC—strong, steady, knowledgeable guidance when things got hard and also the ability to fade away and let birth unfold. She has attended more births in more settings than most providers and is a comfortable advocate in the whole spectrum of births, both low to the very highest of risk and intervention.

Why Do Families Hire Me?
As a doula + photographer, I’ve witnessed hundreds of beautiful, powerful births. Having attended so many births gives me a deep level of knowledge and perspective. It also helps me stay calm and grounded no matter how your birth unfolds.
I’ve also developed close relationships with midwives, LD nurses, and OBs across Denver and Boulder. Many of them recognize me as I walk down the halls and welcome me with open arms. Having a positive and collaborative relationship with your care providers can make a huge difference in your overall birth experience.
Additionally, as one of the world’s leading birth photographers and the co-founder of Birth Becomes You, I also offer birth photography to every one of my doula clients at no extra cost. Birth photography helps you remember, understand, and integrate your birth story.
And lastly: I have five, beautiful children myself. I’ve given birth in the hospital, birth center, and at home. Each of my birth stories is different, yet powerful and life-changing all the same.
She was there every step of the way during my birth, ensuring I felt informed, empowered, and prepared for everything that was coming, resulting in the most beautiful, redemptive birth experience I could ever have hoped for.

What does doula support look like?
As a doula, my aim is to help you understand your options and encourage you to use your voice to advocate for what YOU want out of your birth experience. I understand the process of birth well, and I’m able to offer education, resources, and hands-on support during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum.
A birth doula can:
help you craft your birth plan
navigate birth locations, providers, and other modalities of support
talk through your fears/concerns
offer you 24/7 text and phone support
help your partner better support you during birth
provide water or food during labor
give you counter-pressure and hip-squeezes
suggest different positions to help you labor more effectively (trained in Spinning babies)
encourage you to advocate for the birth you want
collaborate with your care team to provide exceptional, family-centered care
and most importantly remind you of just how strong you are
Does every family need a doula?
You are capable, strong, and powerful. No one needs a doula to have an incredible birth experience. I truly believe that you have everything you need within YOU. But I also believe that doulas can bring extra love and support to one of the most incredible days of your life…and you deserve all of that and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! Many of my clients plan on utilizing some sort of pain relief during labor. I help my clients choose the best time to get their epidural…and then assist in position changes once they are comfortable to help baby find the most optimal position for birth.
-
I don’t work for any particular insurance company because I never want to jeopardize my ability to provide completely autonomous support to my clients. However, I do have an NPI number and I’m always happy to submit a superbill to your insurance company. But ultimately: independence from insurance companies and hospitals is one of the key benefits of hiring a doula!
-
Yes! Each year I support several VBAC births. I’ve even helped families achieve VBACs after multiple cesareans. During our prenatal session, we talk in-depth about your birth history to better understand why a cesarean happened…and then we make a custom plan for both pregnancy and labor based on your unique story.
-
I am super experienced in Spinning Babies, which helps ensure that your baby is in the most optimal position possible for birth. I also practice trauma-informed care, as I believe that everyone giving births deserves to feel deeply safe and seen. About half of the births I attend are out of the hospital, but I also have years of experience in high-risk pregnancy and birth.
-
A midwife is a medical provider who cares for you and your baby throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. They provide clinical care, monitor health and safety, and deliver babies.
A doula is a non-medical support person who provides emotional, physical, and educational support throughout the birth experience. We help families feel informed, grounded, supported, and cared for during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
Many families choose both a midwife and a doula because the roles work beautifully together.

Working with me is deeply supportive, collaborative, and grounded. My role is not to take over your birth experience, but to help you feel informed, cared for, and supported as you navigate it. I support families through hospital birth, home birth, VBAC, induction, cesarean birth, and everything in between with a balance of evidence-based education, emotional support, and calm presence throughout the process.
