Our experience with Braving Doula Collective is one that is hard to put into words. Both Mac and…read moreSkylar were incredible throughout not only during our birth, but also just as much during weeks leading up to the big day. Prior to meeting with Braving Doula, I was convinced that we didn't need any extra assistance. However, my husband felt strongly that the added support would be beneficial for both of us. I am SO happy that I listened to him because hiring Braving Doula was the best thing we could have ever done! Nothing about our birth went as planned. There were endless scary twists and turns, and we got limited information about what was going on from the doctors. The doula's were essential in helping us understand what was going on and emotionally guiding us along the whole way. They are not only fabulous doula's, but inspirational people. I would recommend them to anyone whether this is your first birth or 10th!

We learned so much about the birthing process as a whole and left feeling informed, empowered and ready for birth. Amanda is someone who very obviously loves her job and it shows in the enthusiasm she brings to each class and the personal connections she makes with everyone she works with. She takes time to answer any and all questions which made for a very comfortable and welcoming class environment. We loved every minute of this class and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a natural or low intervention birth.

Shari helped me through the most challenging part of my postpartum journey. I experienced…read moresignificant pain while breastfeeding during the first few weeks, and having Shari come to my home made all the difference. She patiently guided me through proper latch and feeding techniques, and her depth of knowledge was incredibly reassuring. Thanks to her support, I've been successfully breastfeeding my son for nearly two years. I'm so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to any new mom looking for compassionate and knowledgeable lactation support.

I was looking for an in person consultation to help me with breastfeeding my baby who was born…read moreduring August 2020. Everywhere I went, LCs were only doing virtual consultations. I didn't think virtual only was going to help me build my milk supply and I kept asking for referrals until someone sent me to Shari. In the hospital, the lactation consultant told me that she didn't think I was ever going to be able to have enough supply for my baby. Sure enough, I was struggling so much with my milk supply that my baby lost too much weight in her first few days. I was told by my pediatrician to do triple feeding (breastfeed, then give a bottle, and then pump). I was only able to provide about 20% of my baby's food needs. Shari visited me promptly after I reached out. She came to my home (everyone wore masks) with her baby scale in tow. We figured out how much my baby weighed, how much milk she took in from a feed, and Shari observed the feeding and offered tips on positioning - both for breastfeeding as well as for the supplemental bottles. Within 4 weeks (3 total visits) with Shari, I was able to provide 100% of my baby's milk. Now I even have a frozen storage of excess milk! I am so grateful to Shari for her help and expertise. Without her, I honestly don't think I would have been able to breastfeed.

Alexandria is a kind, gentle, warm intuitive woman. Her prenatal visits were helpful, informative…read moreand she made us feel comfortable with her real quick. When my birth plan took a detour at 36 weeks (breach) I was very heartbroken, but she was still very encouraging no matter how my baby decided to come. And baby decided to come early via emergency c/s. Alexandria was there for us right away. A couple of days after I was discharged, Alexandria came by our home to visit. With her memories, insight and retelling of my babies birth, I was able to reframe the experience in such a better light. Enough that I look back on it with just as much joy as if she came naturally! Even if I had known a c/s was necessary months prior, I still am glad I hired Alexandria. On top of her loving doula service, she also encapsulated the placenta. I can't explain how helpful the placenta was for my recovery. I had plenty of energy those first few weeks, my milk was flowing without effort, no sadness, and the salve she also made for my scar helped it heal great.

I attended Alexandria's prenatal yoga class at Birthwise downtown on Wednesdays and absolutely…read moreloved it! I was never really into yoga prior to this pregnancy (my first) but decided to give it a try as I read it can be very helpful in preparing for birth. I am SO glad I did and that I found Alexandria. She was kind, warm and encouraging throughout my classes with her, offering excellent suggestions to any issues that came up as well as lending an ear when I just needed to vent. She truly cares and it comes across in her practice. The class itself isn't difficult, she does a good job of modifying anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, but it also made my body stronger and more flexible. I always felt more relaxed and yet somehow also energized after her class. Additionally, the meditation which she incorporates into the class has been so helpful and I feel has really prepared me for natural birth. I have way more confidence in my body and myself now and I owe so much of that to Alexandria and her class.

It was a gentle delivery, no tearing, no stress, with water birth as an option. It was a memorable experience and I will forever be grateful to Anne for giving me such quality care. I also work as a birth doula in Denver (Intuitive Birth) and have been to many births with CFM. I always recommend this group to my clients as each of these midwives are amazing! I have been to many births with them as a doula, and can say that every single birth has been wonderful. The midwives are trusting and very hands off in order to facilitate the woman's own natural ability to labor powerfully. Yet, they are aware of red flags and keep their mothers safe. I love that they do not micromanage the birth process, and yet are ready for those unexpected emergencies should they arise. Whether the mother wants medicated or unmedicated, is low risk or high risk, I would highly recommend this group. You are less likely to tear, have unnecessary interventions, and more likely to have a satisfying birth experience. They are the best. Thank you CFM for providing fabulous care in Denver!

I came to this practice seeking a compassionate, thoughtful OB/midwife relationship to walk with me…read morethrough pregnancy. I arrived open-minded and hopeful, but after my experiences here, I've decided to seek care elsewhere. I've experienced two pregnancy losses while under the care of this practice, and during an already difficult time, the care I received often felt more one-size-fits-all than individualized. I recognize that this may be influenced by the volume of patients or broader systems within pregnancy care, but for me, it meant that I didn't always feel truly seen or held as an individual with a unqiue history. The midwife I worked with was kind, but on more than one occasion she appeared unfamiliar with important details of my medical history. After experiencing my first pregnancy loss with her, it was difficult to return just three months later and realize she had not reviewed my chart before coming in to discuss my second loss. In that moment, the lack of preparation felt especially painful. Scheduling appointments was also challenging, and after my second loss I waited an additional 45 minutes to see a doctor, which added to an already emotionally difficult experience. After my second pregnancy loss, I was not offered guidance around possible testing, follow-up options, or next steps unless I explicitly asked. Additionally, after an ultrasound confirmed a pregnancy loss, I was told the earliest available appointment for the necessary procedure was six days later, which felt unreasonable and I was forced to complete the procedure at an entirely different practice. I don't share this to place blame, but rather to help others make an informed decision. If you are someone seeking highly personalized, proactive care, especially after loss or if your pregnancy journey may not be straightforward, this may not be the best fit. For those with uncomplicated pregnancies who are comfortable with a more standardized approach, this practice may work well.
