Denver Birth Doula
Empowering your birth journey
Art by: Bea Muller
I'm Rhianna.
Welcome!
(Rhianna rhymes with banana.)
I am a birth doula who serves Denver, Colorado and surrounding areas. I believe in empowerment, bodily autonomy, and the badassery of all birthing people and all the ways in which they birth. To me, birth is powerful, gritty, and transformative. While no one can guarantee how birth will unfold, I do believe in the power of both preparation and a supportive, knowledgeable guide. I believe in evidenced-based methods of support as well as a birthing person’s innate intuition and strength. I strive to create a safe space for birthing people, honoring their choices, and providing unwavering support during childbirth.
Building your birth team is a crucial part of preparing for an empowered birth, and I would be honored to walk with you on this journey.
What is the Process?
Prenatal
Support
We will meet twice before birth to review any/ all of the following:
-
birth preferences,
-
support measures,
-
fear processing,
-
partner coaching,
-
and more!
Starting at 37 weeks, I will be on call 24/7 until your baby is born.
Labor and Birth
Support
Show time! I will provide continuous and customized emotional, physical, and informational support throughout birth. Your partner and I will work together as a team to help you through the entire journey. I will stay with you until 1-2 hours after the placenta is born.
Postpartum
Meetings
After your baby is born, I will visit you at home once or twice. During these meetings I will:
-
check in on your family to see how everyone is adjusting,
-
provide basic feeding support,
-
refer you to community resources as desired,
-
bring a meal, and
-
process your birth journey with you.
First, you, your support person, and I will meet for a 30 minute interview. This is free and is a chance to see if we are a good fit. Once all parties are on board, we get started!
