POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES | NORTHERN COLORADO
So they just… let you leave the hospital with a baby?
You’ve spent months preparing for birth. Then suddenly you’re home, recovering, learning your baby, figuring out feeding, and realizing nobody really prepared you for this part.
Our postpartum doula brings the extra hands, newborn know-how, and practical support that make those first weeks feel a whole lot gentler.
MEET YOUR POSTPARTUM DOULA
Allison has been taking care of babies since before your Owala was even a thing.
She’s a mom of three with 25+ years of experience caring for families, a certified full-spectrum doula, certified lactation counselor, Infant CPR certified, and a volunteer NICU cuddler right here in Fort Collins.
But more importantly? She’s the kind of woman you’ll actually feel good handing your brand-new baby to while you go take the world’s longest shower.
Everyone wants to hold the baby. We’re here to take care of the person who had one.
We show up asking one question… what would make today easier for you?

You can do it all. That doesn’t mean you should have to.
Postpartum support gives you more room to actually be postpartum.
You get to sleep while someone you trust cares for your baby. Eat while your food is still hot. Ask the question instead of Googling it for an hour. Recover without also trying to keep the entire house running. Because the less energy you spend holding everything together, the more you have left for yourself, your baby, and this brand-new version of your family.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT THE EFF-A-Q?
-
Nope. First-time moms love having someone there for the is this normal?! questions. Second, third, and fourth-time moms tend to know exactly how valuable another set of capable hands can be. Every baby and every postpartum season is different.
-
Feeding a newborn comes with a lot of questions. Allison can help with positioning, bottle-feeding, pumping, feeding rhythms, and figuring out what’s working for you and your baby. Allison can also help determine if more specialized feeding support is required and connect you with our lactation counseling services.
-
Yep, you can still benefit from one. Your people get to be your people. Allison brings newborn experience, feeding support, recovery guidance, and practical help without requiring your mom or partner to know everything there is to know about postpartum. Oftentimes, it's the family members who are the ones hiring her for you when they see how much work this is.
-
There’s no magic number. Some families want a few shifts to soften the landing, while others know they’ll want consistent support through those early weeks. That’s why we offer different hour packages instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
Let’s build a plan that makes sense for your family.
Psssst: having the baby is only part of the whole having-a-baby thing.
