BIRTH DOULA SERVICES | NORTHERN COLORADO
Your OB has ten other patients tonight. You deserve someone who only has you.
Birth doula support for the decisions you planned for, the ones you didn’t, and every “wait, what does that mean?” in between.
We’ll hold your hand while we say this…
You can read Emily Oster cover to cover, but birth is still a whole different book.

You’ve researched every option, know your hospital’s policies, and have a birth plan so detailed it deserves its own table of contents. But there’s a big difference between knowing your options on paper and navigating them while you’re nine centimeters dilated and someone’s asking you to make a decision.
You’ve researched every option, know your hospital’s policies, and have a birth plan so detailed it deserves its own table of contents.

“Healthy mom, healthy baby” is a pretty low bar, don’t you think?
Of course we want a healthy mom and a healthy baby. We also want a mom who feels heard. Who understands what is happening. Whose choices are respected. Who looks back at her baby’s birthday and knows she was never an afterthought in her own birth.
Because getting through birth is one thing, but feeling good about how you were treated while doing it matters, too.
Our work begins in the conversations where we learn what matters to you.
The questions you ask, the fears you’re not even sure how to say out loud yet, the things you know you want, and the things you didn’t even know you had a choice about. So by the time labor starts, your doula isn’t walking into the room trying to figure you out. She already knows you.
Your Birth Day Package includes:
A Personal Doula Match
Kylee gets to know you first, then pairs you with the doula whose personality, experience, and energy make you think, holy smokes, YES, this is our doula.
Two Prenatal Visits
This is where we get into it. Your dream birth, your hard no’s, your “wait, that’s an option?” moments, and exactly what you want us to know before labor brain takes over.
Birth Prep Handbook
A vibey hard-copy handbook with the need-to-know birthy things and the tool we’ll use together. And yes, we’re making your birth preferences (aka birth plan) together.
On-Call Starting at 38 Weeks
Bag packed. Phone on loud. Baby watch officially activated. When it’s go time, you know exactly who to call. Go get ‘em mama.
Labor + Birth Support
From the first “wait, was that a contraction?” to baby on your chest, your doula is there for the game-time decisions, the position changes, the pep talks, and the whole wild ride.
Postpartum Check-In
We come back for you. To talk through your birth, answer the new-mom questions already piling up, and make sure you’re doing okay now that everyone’s obsessed with the baby.
CHOOSE YOUR DOULA
Every Soft Launch doula is trained, vetted, and mentored to meet our standard, but each brings her own experience, specialties, and rate to the birth room.
Investment ranges from $1,800-$2,600 with individual rates listed on each doula’s profile.
Psst… your doula package comes with a pretty sweet perk.
Soft Launch clients get Birthdaze Bootcamp half off, so you can learn the birth stuff before you and your doula start putting it all together for your birth preferences. Two days. In person. All the labor, interventions, options, and advocacy you actually need to know.
$497 normally. $397 for our girls.
You might be a Soft Launch mom if…
You’ve given birth before and this time you want or need it to feel different this time.
You have strong opinions about your birth and want a doula who knows how to run with them.
You’ve done more research for this baby than you did for your college degree.
You want fewer interventions, not fewer explanations.
You want a doula you could actually see yourself getting coffee with.
You appreciate a woman who knows her stuff and can still make you laugh when things get hard.
Your partner is incredible, but neither of you thinks he should have to carry the weight of being a birth expert.
You want your birth team to feel less clinical and more this is my dream team.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT THE EFF-A-Q?
-
Hell yes. Our birth doula support isn’t about convincing you to have a certain kind of birth. Epidural, induction, scheduled C-section, homebirth, hospital birth, all roads lead to baby, and we’ll meet you on yours.
-
This is one of the perks of hiring a whole team instead of crossing your fingers that one person’s life behaves for nine months. You’ll have backup from another trained, vetted Soft Launch birth doula, so you’re never left scrambling when your baby decides it’s go time. While you’re here… meet our kickass team.
-
Yep, we accept HSA! A 50% retainer holds your spot on your doula’s calendar, and the remaining balance is due one month before your estimated due date. Need something a little different? Ask us about customizing your package to fit your needs.
-
First or second trimester gives us the most time to prepare together, but there’s no magical cutoff. If you’re already waddling into the third trimester thinking, wait, I want a doula, it’s not too late to reach out. Birth doula services are worth asking about even if your due date is right around the corner.
-
You’ll meet with Kylee for a free consultation, talk babies, birth, what you want, what you absolutely don’t, and what kind of support feels right. Then comes the matchmaking. Meet your doula and get to work prepping for your birth.
Sound good? Let’s talk babies.
-
You don’t have to play eeny, meeny, miny, moe forever. Start with a consultation with Kylee. She’ll get to know you, the birth you’re hoping for, and the kind of woman you want beside you, then help match you with your girl.
Want to stalk the options first? Meet the Soft Launch team.
Whether you’re birthing in the tubs at PVH, an operating room at MCR, or getting primal in your living room, we’ll meet you there.
