Marie is both a DONA trained and CAPPA trained and certified Postpartum doula with over a decade of newborn and infant care experience. Located in Boulder, CO, Marie is a co-founder of Mile High Doulas, a postpartum care collective (www.MileHighDoulas.com). She is also trained by CAPPA as a New Parent Educator.
Through her early experience as a nanny, she fell in love with helping families through the journey of parenthood. She witnessed firsthand how chaotic life can be through pregnancy and after birth. She became a doula to help families navigate the stresses of new parenthood and enjoy their lives together with their new baby.
Marie aims to guide families through the entire journey into parenthood with a gentle, holistic approach.
She specializes in hands-on education, physical and emotional support, feeding assistance, sleep training, cooking, and household organization. Her goal is to nurture parents in this vulnerable and intimate time, and empower them to care for their new child with confidence. A full fridge, clean home, and person to talk to can make all the difference! She also provides antepartum support to assist with birth planning, getting ready for baby, and any additional needs in the final trimester of pregnancy.
Beyond educational, physical and organizational support, there is a strong focus on emotional and mental health when working with Marie. She has a trauma-informed and inclusive approach; becoming a parent is a huge shift in identity and deserves to be treated with immense care and respect. Her education and experience allows her to assist with single parents, parents of advanced age, families who have experienced chronic illness, loss, eating disorders, anxiety, and sexual abuse. Marie is a sexual abuse survivor and also identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community.
When not working with families, Marie spends time with her baby boy and husband playing with their two rescue dogs. She loves to cook healthy plant-based meals and snacks for her family and friends. She is also the co-founder of Newborn Nanny Consultants LLC, www.newbornnannyconsultants.com which helps match families with qualified nannies.
