Mary is an AlloDoula Acadamy Certified professional doula. She has been a postpartum doula since 2017, after leaving the field of teaching preschool after 20 years. Mary also holds a MA degree in Educational Psychology through Boulder Journey School and the University of Colorado Denver. Mary’s passion for working with babies and families stems from growing up as the child of a neonatologist. She views infants as being born competent and capable citizens that should be treated as such. After becoming a mother in 2012 Mary truly understood the benefits of having extra support during labor and postpartum. What she enjoys most about this work is connecting with families and helping to ease new parents into this major life transition. She loves sharing her knowledge with others and supporting parents to become confident in their own abilities and strengths. Mary is passionate about infant sleep and creating positive sleep habits and strategies for families. In addition to her postpartum doula certification, Mary has taken a number of trainings focusing on lactation education and infant sleep support. Outside of work Mary enjoys snowboarding, reading, gardening, seeing live music and spending time with her 12 year old son, Summit James.
