Hi I'm Virginia
I’m your local Boulder County birth doula, here to bring calm confidence and a steady presence to your journey. I provide personalized birth support that feels authentically you.
I offer holistic, evidence-based care that honors both the science and the soul of birth.
My Journey
Attorney turned birth doula.
I became a birth doula shortly after welcoming my daughter in 2021, inspired by the calm, attentive support our doula gave us during labor and postpartum. I experienced that same grounding care again when our son was born in 2024.
Those experiences led me to become a doula myself, offering steady, compassionate support to families here in Boulder County. I stepped away from my career as an attorney to follow this passion, and since then, I’ve been honored to support many families during this transformative time.
Outside of birthwork, I live in Longmont with my husband and our two children on our regenerative farm, Longroots Ranch.

My Approach
Birth isn’t a checklist, it’s about feeling safe, understood, and confident in your own story.
As a Boulder County doula, my work blends:
-
Evidence and empathy, pairing practical knowledge with steady, intuitive care
-
Warmth and professionalism, providing calm, confident care
-
Empowerment through advocacy, fostering confidence, connection, and informed choices for you and your partner
It truly takes a village. As your local Boulder County doula, I’m here to be a gentle, steady part of your support network, holding space for you with calm, clarity, and care throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
She is an empathetic, caring, knowledgeable, and committed person - all of the things you look for in a doula. She spent time with me in advance of labor to learn my preferences and what I envisioned a successful pregnancy would include. Then she made it happen!
