About me

I am in the process of certifying through DONA International as a birth doula. My experience has solely been on the labor & delivery floor at Denver Health as a doula volunteer. I desire to serve local families in navigating pregnancy and birth with the right information, plan, and mindset that will ensure a positive and unforgettable experience. I am now looking to book my first clients to help complete my certification and gain experience as a doula to private clients. I am happy to support families with prenatal visits, birth, and a postpartum visit.

Service introduction

I offer three prenatal visits, birth support and one post partum visit along with text and call support during standard business hours. The prenatal visits will entail going over what questions you have, what your choices are and coming up with a game plan for the big day including familiarizing you with my touch and other techniques that are often utilized in labor support. Labor support includes 24/7 call and text support in early labor, once active labor starts I would join you within two hours and provided continuous phyiscal and emotional support until after the birth with possible breaks to check in on my family. Postpartum care would be to review the birth and how you are doing emotionally and mentally postpartum and to assist with any immediate needs such as light house work.

Georgia was extremely kind, very knowledgeable, patient and I would recommend her services to anyone. She helped with providing back massages, options that I had during my labor and comforted me in times of distress.

We were expecting, first-time parents when I worked alongside Georgia to prepare for the arrival of our baby girl. Georgia took the time to sit down with me and spell out the whole process of labor, delivery, and postpartum rehab- areas to expecting a child that, admittedly, had me more anxious than I could put words to! After several hours, I felt equipped and informed about what my body was about to go through- it gave me so much confidence! Not only did Georgia extend her expertise to me through her knowledge, but also as our daughter's due date came closer, we had a session to explore different labor and birthing positions. We namely looked into Rebozo techniques. The time Georgia took to break down each position and how to use the rebozo to leverage relief for myself in a high stress/low comfort time was invaluable. I walked away from that session empowered to have a fantastic birthing experience. I am so grateful to all her knowledge, council and resources that Georgia so graciously shared with me. No question was a stupid question, no worry was an unwarranted one. Georgia heard me out with all my insecurities and concerns and I know that her help and guidance contributed to the blessing of a labor and birthing experience that my husband and I got to share welcoming our daughter into the world.
