I wouldn't recommend this place for their pre-natal massage. I wanted to like it so much based on…read moretheir great reviews but none seem to be about pre-natal Appearance: there's a water heater in the bathroom behind a paper divider and the floor tiles were painted with what appeared to be a purple resin. Paint appeared to be non-professionally done. Massage rooms weren't very cosy. They felt empty with no art or decor, and the walls felt like they were paper thin. I don't believe the walls went all the way to the ceiling, but my memory may be wrong. Also no soothing music. My massage therapist: was playing music from haulin oats without a subscription on her phone, so we had ads rolling through a rock playlist. She put me on my back (can't do during pregnancy) and also didn't have much gear for a true pregnancy massage. She was very nice but not what I was looking for. Update: Spoke to the owner who said she felt terrible about my experience at least with the masseuse and asked for me to come back for a free massage. However, I can't say that changes the appearance/feel of the place so I don't feel the need or desire to want to go back either way. If think I'd prefer a Glenwood springs caves spa experience instead.

I give this business five stars to counterbalance all of the shitty reviews that they got. Mariah…read moretreats people the way they deserve to be treated and those people are rude nasty and shitty should expect it back! This woman brought me back from the depths of pain. She is amazing she listens - she hears you. She speaks to your muscles and she'll take you out of years of pain. And If you let her fix you then her pay her what she deserves. One massage is not enough to get your body out of pain it takes time to get it out of your body And if you don't think she deserves your praise then go somewhere else that's cheaper and will feel like crap five minutes after they're done, know her touch lasts! I go back over and over and take my mom , take my husband, take my whole entire family. If Mariah ever leaves the state of Colorado, I will follow her. She is my body god! Peace!

Service: Labor and Birth Doula Context: Father, 2nd Child,…read more1st at-home birth Despite our preparations, our first birth taught us that we can always know, prepare, and expect more. We met Julie in our doula interviews early in our preparations, and with our first home-birth, we knew we needed someone with the knowledge to build our trust, the confidence to direct when needed, and the serenity to alleviate our anxieties. Julie brought every one of those to the table, and more! During our first birth, I couldn't help but feel like a third-wheel, understanding key parts of the birth, but serving mostly as an observer, with the occasional comforting words. In preparation for our 2nd, Julie offered both live Q&As, and preparatory, informative, and engaging classes, which helped prepare not only my wife, but myself in both what to expect and how to engage with each part of the birth. Rather than only observing, or waiting for direction, I became an active participant, predicting and understanding my wife's needs, while also being able to adapt as needed. As labor's frequently do, ours started late in the night, and with a quick call, Julie assessed the situation and determined to come over to help, even in the early stages. As a doula, she helped guide us into active labor, recognizing when we hit hurdles, and confidently and calmly discussed alternative positions and practices. Serving not only as doula, she frequently provided updates that would help our midwife determine how far along we were, and stayed by Laura's side through delivery! In the interest of time, I'll end with an appreciation of Julie's ability to frequently bridge the gap when all the participants became a little too single-minded; Julie would swoop in, suggesting breaks, and even cooking up some delicious meals! Even afterwards, Julie visited and brought a smorgasbord of home-cooked foods, taking the weight off of running a household, and letting my wife, my children, and myself, take time to simply be with each other. Thank you so much, Julie, for not only being what my wife needed, but helping me to be the same! P.S. For the Mother's perspective, Laura's review should post soon!

I was pleased to…read moreget to know her and learned that she was a doula, I was researching to find one since I was recently pregnant. The more I got to know her, the more I felt she was perfect for me during this birth journey of mine! She is kind, patient, smart, nurturing, thoughtful, and so much more! She has deepened my knowledge of kundalini yoga, meditating and chanting. I feel so fortunate to have found Julie, she is truly an angel. I recommend her to everyone who is pregnant or wants to get pregnant. I am so happy that she has added hypnobabies to her doula services, I find it to be quite helpful. I want to scream from the mountain top to spread the word of what a gift Julie is, but in the same breath I want to keep her all to myself, she's that wonderful! If you're looking for any of the aforementioned services, look no more, Julie is the one!

These women are absolutely incredible. I found them in the last month of my pregnancy, and I'm so…read moregrateful I hired them. They offer prenatal visits, birth support, and postpartum visits. I hired them mostly for support during birth, but I ended up having a quick labor and a very challenging postpartum period. They were there for all of it in every way I needed them. Each woman brings a different set of skills to the table, but they all offer exceptional prenatal/labor/postpartum support. If you're considering hiring a doula for your birth, do yourself a favor and allow these women to help make it a beautiful experience.

Since you are reading this, I assume you have decided that a doula is a good idea for your birth…read more But if you are unsure, let me help you - the answer is YES. Especially if this is your first baby, after going through it, doing it without a doula is simply unimaginable. More on why below. Boulder and environs are not short on doulas as we learned when we moved here two months ago, seven months pregnant). Boulder Doula's Circle was recommended to us by a friend, but we were hesitant at first - like many health providers, on the "big day" you do not know which of the three doulas you might end up with. What if we had a favorite or were not crazy about one of them? This is intimate family stuff after all. However, after a 1:1 meeting and attending one of their monthly birth circle open houses at the Mamahood, we knew it was not just a case of being the "right fit" for us, but so much more. Suddenly we felt incredibly supported by these three very wise, very experienced, and very fun women. Each brings a unique set of skills to the table that will benefit you, not just on the big day, but throughout your pregnancy. Whether it was herbs, exercises, guiding us to other resources in the community, pre-natal home visits, or post-partum visits, Amanda, Rachel and April gave way more than we ever imagined. We were clueless, but by the time labor arrived we were super-educated, prepared, and confident. And the benefits of their support during labor cannot be overstated. Its difficult to express how grateful we are to these three. Another aspect of the team-doula approach: you can't end up in a situation where your one doula is on vacation or at another birth, leaving you in the lurch. Or, if, heaven-forbid, you have a marathon labor, you can get a hand-off, where one of them will come in as relief. A final thing to add - while we were on board with their approach, we saw other couples who had different ideas of what they wanted (or didn't want) and all three of the doulas were really non-judgmental and supportive. I suppose that in this world thats normal, but there was something genuine about it - its not that they were hiding what they really thought, but that they were truly not judging and wanted to do whats best for their pregnant mamas and their babies. In this incredible, exciting, daunting process of starting a family, I cannot stress how great it was to have these three as counsel. If this sounds too good to be true, message me and Ill be happy to share more details of our experience. Nikko

From the minute my husband and I met her we instantly felt comfortable in her presence and we both naturally gravitated towards her, she seemed like someone we would have been friends with for years. Looking back on the entire experience, I know I would not have been able to do it without her. I ended up having a natural birth and Stacey was there to help me through it all. There were several times that I did not believe in myself or think I could do it and Stacey knew exactly what to say and knew exactly what to do to help make me feel mentally strong and physically better. I have told all my friends about Stacey and strongly encourage them to use her when they decide to have a baby. I know for sure my husband and I will be calling on Stacey when we go to have baby number two. Stacey is incredibly knowledgable and so easy to relate to and get along with, I was able to be completely myself with her and was able to talk with her like I'd known her for years. I was so happy to have her by my side when the nurses asked me questions or advised me on things that I wasn't sure about. Knowing Stacey's resume, background and years of experience I knew I could trust in her advise and opinion. I knew she was looking out for what was best for me and that ultimately it was my decision but she was there to help me understand all my options. All in all, my husband and I would have paid five times as much to have Stacey there, she truly was so amazing. Thank you Stacey!

We wanted a doula to help us understand the process of labor and birth, know our options and decide what our ideal birth journey would look like, and support my husband in being involved in the labor process. Molly checked every box for us. We interviewed a few doulas and felt a strong connection to Molly as she's very easy to talk to and has a calm energy that was exactly what we needed. Her package feels fairly priced and her services are excellent. The prenatal massage she gave me in my home was one of the best massages of my life, period (it also felt incredible to be able to lay on my stomach with the help of a belly pillow she has).  She patiently answered every question we had and gave us helpful ways to think about how to make the best decisions for ourselves. I felt she easily got to know us and our preferences and could guide us toward things that felt right, without being pushy. Working with Molly is a no-judgment zone. No matter what you hope your birth experience will look like, she'll be supportive and do her best to help you achieve that. She helped us both build a positive mindset around the birth and labor experience -- something I especially needed as I tend to get tense and anxious in situations of uncertainty.  On the topic of uncertainty, we originally planned to have Molly join us in person once I went into labor, but the Covid pandemic happened during my pregnancy. We ended up having Molly join us via FaceTime and Zoom video calls, and I was very impressed with how helpful and effective the virtual setup was. Molly's calm coaching through contractions helped me stay focused, and her ability to tune into my labor progress and see signs I wasn't able to see helped us avoid having a baby in the car on the way to the hospital (my labor progressed much, much faster than I ever expected).  I would recommend Molly's doula services to anyone. It's incredibly helpful to have her as your coach and cheerleader through the wild ride that is making a new little human.
