Your Birth Doula and Photographer in Denver, Colorado.

Protecting the Space + Documenting the Journey

Hi, I’m Madison.

I’m so happy you’re here!

One thing you should know about me… I love birth. Like so much. It’s magical. It’s intense. It’s all-encompassing. It changes you at your core. I feel SO grateful that I’m able to support families as they walk through this journey.

Your birth experience is something that you will carry with you for your entire life, whether it’s your 1st or your 10th. As your doula and birth photographer, my job is to support your preferences, protect the space, and document the journey. Whatever that may mean for you.

I offer support to birth journeys of all shapes and sizes, from home birth to cesarean. My number one priority is that you’re giving fully informed consent (or refusal!) for any decision you make. After you have all of the information, no matter what you choose, I’ve got your back.

The other thing you should know about me… I will always believe in you! Even when (especially when) you don’t even believe in yourself. I am your ultimate cheerleader when it comes to pregnancy, birth, postpartum, all of it! As a parent, I know how lonely this journey can feel, and I want you to know that with me, you’re never alone. And guess what? You’ve got this! You really really do. I’ll continue to remind you of this every step of the way.

In the time I've spent supporting families in their childbirth journeys, I've developed a deep passion for education. Why? Because I've seen time and time again the power of knowledge and preparation in influencing birth experiences. When you understand your body's processes, when you know your options and rights, you gain a confidence that's truly transformative.

That’s why I’m deeply committed to providing comprehensive childbirth education, a passion that has been at the core of my work from the very beginning.

It's important for you to remember: this is YOUR birth story. I'm here to guide and support you, but you are the author. My ultimate goal is to help you cultivate a positive birth experience that you'll cherish forever. Whether that means supporting you as your doula, capturing precious moments as your birth photographer, or empowering you with knowledge through childbirth education.

Believe in yourself, because I already do. Together, let's navigate this extraordinary journey of bringing your baby earthside!

  • "...Madison is the main reason my wife was able to have a natural birth and a positive birth experience. We truly love Madison and think anybody looking for a Doula should stop searching and contact Madison immediately. I cannot recommend her services any higher."

    Keith, Partner

  • "...She worked with our labor and delivery nurses so well and everyone just loved her! We got comments throughout our stay at the hospital about how much everyone loved working with her and how great she was! She worked with me for hours with positioning and getting things going in the hospital. She advocated for me all the way through the labor process and I felt so taken care of..."

    Tayler, Birther

  • "...Madison was able to utilize her array of knowledge and skills to help my partner and I advocate for the birth that WE wanted, not the one that our provider wanted. She prepared us for conversations the hospital staff had with us and explained medical jargon when we did not understand. Madison advocated for us when we could not for ourselves..."

    Sami, Birther

  • "...I highly recommend working with Madison if you're interested in a doula who is deeply knowledgeable, helpful, supportive and knows when to step in and when to step back... "
