Birth Doula •
I’m Kacey,
A true Colorado native, I call Arvada home, where I reside with my husband, our three amazing boys, and our lovable Bassett Hound, Hazel. My journey has been rich with experiences, beginning with a career in education spanning over 13 years, where I had the privilege of shaping young minds as an art educator. Transitioning into a stay-at-home mom further deepened my connection to family and community.
Despite finding fulfillment in teaching, I yearned for something more. Birth work has always been a passion quietly nestled in my heart. It all began when my aunt invited me to witness the birth of my cousin during my teenage years. That profound experience left an indelible mark on me, igniting a lifelong fascination with the miracle of birth and the beauty of family bonds.
As a Doula, I see myself as a beacon of positivity and a staunch advocate for the power of knowledge. Education empowers women and their partners to navigate their birthing journey with confidence and resilience. My goal is to create a nurturing and supportive environment where expectant parents feel empowered to make informed decisions and embrace the transformative journey of childbirth.
Drawing from my background in education and my personal experiences as a mother, I bring a unique blend of compassion, understanding, and expertise to my doula practice. My mission is to provide comfort, connection, and reassurance in the birthing space, guiding families through one of life’s most profound experiences with grace and confidence. I am deeply honored to walk alongside you on this remarkable journey, and I look forward to being a part of your story.

Giving birth can be stressful and unpredictable, especially for first-time mothers. Having a doula by your side is like having your best friend, an expert in birth, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.Here are some compelling statistics: Births attended by doulas reduce the risk of Cesarean section by 50%, shorten labor duration by 25%, decrease the use of pitocin by 40%, lower epidural requests by 60%, and reduce forceps or vacuum deliveries by 40%. Women supported by doulas also experience lower rates of postpartum depression, report higher satisfaction with their birth experiences, find the transition into motherhood smoother, and are more successful at breastfeeding.
Doulas provide support once active labor begins, helping parents recognize the right time to go to the hospital. This guidance is precious for first-time parents needing advice on when to seek medical assistance. -
Absolutely not! A doula doesn't replace the birth partner; instead, they complement each other. Doulas offer invaluable support to partners by guiding them on how to assist the mother best and providing them with opportunities to rest and recharge. Working closely with the birth partner, doulas leverage their training and expertise to actively empower partners to participate in the labor and birth process. After all, it takes teamwork to ensure a mother's comfort and well-being during labor!

Regardless of the circumstances leading up to the birth, a doula is steadfast in providing unwavering support to parents. Even in planned or unplanned situations requiring a trip to the Operating Room, doulas are often permitted to accompany parents. And don't fret—while we're there, we'll capture those priceless moments of meeting your baby, ensuring you have beautiful memories to cherish forever!
