About me

Hi! I'm Crystal Swanson. I'm a perinatal massage therapist, birth doula, and holistic practitioner based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. With a passion for empowering expectant women, my approach blends the art of massage, personalized doula support, baby planning, and herbal wisdom. I envision birth as a sacred experience, embracing a holistic perspective that nurtures both the physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy. I aim to provide parents with confidence, joy, and a touch of tranquility on their parenthood adventure. In my free time, I'm usually stuck in a book with a delicious cup of herbal tea or a latte or getting ganged up on any or all of my kids, lol.

Crystal was our doula for both of our children. I could not have made it through two unmedicated labors without her. She was an advocate, a guiding voice, a gentle hand, and knew exactly when to interject humor and empathy when they were needed most.
