Birth Doula

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.

  • Kacey was absolutely amazing as a doula! The prenatal sessions were incredibly helpful especially as a first time mom. She was there by our side the entire labor and delivery process, and made the experience so much better than I could’ve ever imagined. The postpartum support was also so helpful! We would 100% work with Kacey again!

  • My husband and I enjoyed our experience with Intuitive Birth and our doula Kacey. The prenatal visits helped immensely to feel like we had support for next steps while forming a detailed birth plan. Our birth experience didn’t go as planned, but the relationship that we formed with Kacey along the way was beyond appreciated. Kacey was warm, empathetic yet honest, and reliable from start to finish. I would recommend her guidance and expertise to anyone that is interested in engaging with a doula for their birth/pregnancy journey.

  • We worked with Kacey for the birth of our first child and had a wonderful experience! Kacey guided us through the birth planning process and was very supportive of any choices I wanted to make. She also took extra time to make sure my husband was comfortable and that he was prepared with how to help me during labor. I ended up having a more complicated birth and Kacey guided me throughout my entire labor. Because of her guidance, I felt empowered with each choice I made and left feeling like I had a very positive birth experience. I would 100% recommend Kacey to any expecting mothers!

  • I can't say enough good things about Kacey. She was professional, warm, and well-informed. This was our first baby, and so we had a lot of questions and needed a lot of support, and Kacey was calm and available for every preparatory step. Although I'd say Kacey really shined during the delivery. I had an unexpected turn with my delivery, and all of my plans went out the window (as I hear happens often!), and Kacey helped support me through lots of tears as we quickly navigated a big decision that went against my plans for an unmedicated natural birth. She also took nothing personally which I think is really key in this role, because you have no idea how you're going to feel when it's your first! I am so grateful to Kacey, as is my husband and as is my sweet baby Carolina who came into the world healthy and happy, partly because Kacey was there! I would recommend her 1000X. All my love to Kacey and the entire Intuitive Birth team!

  • Words cannot even begin to express the gratitude and appreciation I have for Kacey and the team at Intuitive Birth. From the quick response I received from them after sending my first email, to Kacey going absolutely above and beyond at my visits and staying at the hospital for over 13 hours during my delivery. If you are unfamiliar with doulas and are looking for some guidance during your pregnancy and delivery, i encourage you to check out Intuitive Birth. Everyone there is so passionate about what they do and you will receive the highest level of care and kindness. Kacey was our doula and I now feel I have not only gained a ton of knowledge about pregnancy, delivery & parenting, but I've also gained a trusted confidante, shoulder to cry on, a new community of moms & most importantly a friend.

  • We worked with Kacey for the birth of our son. As as a first time mom, I was anxious about giving birth, but working with Kacey helped me feel much more ready and confident. She was a great resource for education and emotional support. Kacey has a very nurturing and positive energy that makes you feel at ease. She did a great job of listening to what I wanted for my birth experience and helped me come up with my birth preferences so I went into labor feeling somewhat prepared :) It's clear Kacey is passionate about being a doula and loves helping other moms! I highly recommend working with Kacey/Intuitive Birth doulas - you won't regret it!

  • Doula Training

    Comprehensive training programs for those aspiring to become knowledgeable and skilled birth workers, offering mentorship and hands-on experience.

  • A professionally trained and experienced labor companion, a doula offers continuous mental, emotional, and physical support before, during, and after labor. They assist and support the mother and her partner achieve their birthing goals. Consider them akin to a specialized massage therapist for women in labor, a trusted birth advisor, and a compassionate therapist all rolled into one!

  • 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!

  • No, doulas are there to support parents in achieving their birthing preferences, regardless of whether they desire a medicated or unmedicated birth or whether they have an at-home or in-hospital setting.
