Meet the Golden Doula Team

Bethany and Colleen are a birth and postpartum doula working alongside an incredible team of doulas to provide a full range of perinatal support!

Our team includes birth and postpartum doulas from various locations and all ranges of experience.

In the golden doula collective you still meet and choose your primary doula, you just have a whole team behind you too! The benefits of a doula collective include shared expertise, continuous support in birth and postpartum, and a sense of community for both doulas and families. Additionally it can provide back up support with an already trusted doula ensuring clients always have someone to rely on.

Please reach out when you are ready to speak with a doula. You can find out more about our various packages below and start talking to the doula who is right for you!

Postpartum Doula Packages

"During labor Bethany helped us keep our cool when things felt impossible. The ambiance she created, the encouragement and the reminder to change positions made us feel that we were in control of our experience. We couldn't be happier to have had Bethany there for us during what felt like a scary and overwhelming time in our lives."

BIRTH DOULA SERVICES WITH BETHANY

"I had created a list of questions in anticipation for our prenatal visit (but because our daughter arrived earlier we didn't have the chance) and Colleen went ahead and wrote down all of the answers for me without me even having to ask! This gesture was so much appreciated and the information she shared so helpful. Colleen has also been very flexible and understanding with figuring out a way to support us during this time of COVID."

POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES WITH COLLEEN

We were looking for evidence-based doula support, and Alysa has a tremendous amount of knowledge from her work as a doula and from her professional research experience. She was able to answer every question and to direct us to further resources that helped us be as prepared as we could be for what ended up being a very smooth birth experience.... We cannot recommend Alysa enough!

BIRTH DOULA SUPPORT WITH MEGAN

"As a plus sized person with a history of medical trauma, I was very anxious about navigating through pregnancy. Amber was an amazing resource for both my husband and I and was always available to us for questions. My induction ended up being very long and it was so helpful to have Amber on call to support us and navigate through. I am so glad we hired Amber and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a kind and knowledgeable doula!"
