Hi, I'm Madison

Your Birth Doula, Birth Photographer, and Childbirth Educator in Denver, Colorado

First and foremost, I’m a mom. β™‘

But I'm also a wife, artist, birth junkie, podcast lover, and oversized t-shirt enthusiast. Born and raised in beautiful Colorado (yes, I'm one of the rare ones!), and I can't imagine calling anywhere else home.

I'm passionate about mental health, informed decision making, and evidence-based education in the birth space. It's a joy to channel these passions into supporting parents through the incredible journey of pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

My fascination with birth has always been there, but it truly ignited when I witnessed my nephew's birth. Being there for my sister showed me the power and beauty of bringing a new life into the world. This passion grew even more with the births of my own children. My son Finnley was born via cesarean during the pandemic, which was a turning point for me, pushing me to dive deeper into birth work. Then, welcoming my daughter Sadie through a successful VBAC added another layer to my understanding and love for this field. These experiences have shaped me into the passionate Trauma-Informed Doula, Birth Photographer, and Childbirth Educator I am today.

Fast forward to today…

I offer support for all kinds of birth journeys, ensuring you know that an empowering birth experience is within your reach, whatever that looks like for you. My approach to labor and birth is holistic at it’s core. I encourage you to trust your intuition, lean on evidence-based research, and believe in your body's natural abilities. The science is clear: You CAN do this!

Besides doula support and education, I'm also incredibly passionate about birth photography. I believe that birth is not just about bringing a baby into the world; it's about the birth of parents too. Capturing these precious moments and the deep connections formed during birth is incredibly powerful. I’ve yet to meet someone that has regretted documenting their birth or postpartum time, and I love giving these memories back to my clients. Birth photography is a key part of helping families process their birth stories, seeing their journey from an outside perspective.

I can't wait to meet you and explore how I can help you achieve your unique birth goals. Whether you're a first-time parent or looking for a different experience in subsequent births, I'm here for you every step of the way. Let's make this journey a powerful and positive transformation together!
