Mother of two


The word Metta translated means loving kindness and Doula is Greek for “with woman”

A postpartum doula is someone who provides services, support and care for mothers and their families.

I am a certified postpartum doula in Boulder, Colorado.  I am the mother of two wonderful children.  My first child, Jonah, who is 10 years old and my second, Naomi, is eight.  I have been working with families and their children for the past eight years in the Boulder area.

As a mother of two and having been through the process of childbirth and recovery, I have first hand experience of what did work for me and what did not.  I wish that I knew about postpartum care when I had my children but since I did not, I have since learned how valuable these services are for mothers, be it your first child or third.  It is a blessing and an honor for me to provide these services and share my knowledge.
