Desert Moon Birth Work

Currently booking placenta clients through February!!

While most know the placenta provides nutrients for the baby there are also many nutritional benefits it can provide to the birthing person after birth.

Did you ingest your placenta?

What questions do you have about placenta encapsulation?

We would love to here your stories and questions.

Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!

Hi! If you have used any of our services we would love it if you could write a review on our page!

Happy fall friends! After a crazy summer full of unexpected events and alpine starts Nicole and I have decided to change up our offerings.
As of now we will not be taking birth clients. There are a few awesome birth doulas in the valley and we are happy to get you touch with them 💗

For us we are wanting to focus more on a couple specific services for our community.

Nicole is not only leading The Lactation Connection in Buena vista the 2nd and 4th Wed at 9am every month, she is also offering private lactation consultations on a sliding scale.

Caitlin is still offering placenta encapsulation in the Chaffee, Park, and Summit regions.

Feel free to reach out with any questions you have!

Thanks again for supporting our business, we love being able to provide these services to our community✨

Hello all! Just want to do a quick update.
Due to some circumstances we aren’t able to take on any birth clients until further notice. However, we are still taking on lactation clients (Nicole) and placenta clients (Caitlin.) And we will be able to take on postpartum this fall.
I (Nicole) also help run a lactation support group that meets twice a month in Buena Vista. Feel free to message us with any questions.
Thank you all for your continued support!

Exciting News: Starting this week, there will be breastfeeding support groups on both ends of the county!

We are considering hosting some FB lives once or twice a month. Where we can sit and chat birth, breastfeeding and postpartum. Is this something you would be into?

Let’s take a deep dive into what a birth doula does for you and your family.
If you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

What was your favorite pregnancy book?
I just got the one on the right and currently reading Birth Without Fear by January Harshe.
Caitlin and I have a wonderful lending library, we will give you a list of our books day one of hiring us and you can borrow anything that’s available!

Absolutely!

👏👏👏
No one feels 100% on as a parent at every moment. It’s okay to feel all of these things!!

This topic has come up a lot lately.
Cluster feeding! What did you do to get through it?
For me (Nicole) I would hunker down for the evening with my nursing station set up with snacks, water, a phone charger, the remote and just let the baby nurse.
Having an extra set of hands or something to wear baby is always a plus too.

Don’t forget to come support some local artist and shop small! Desert Moon Birth Work will also be there with info on doulas and gift certificates! Stop by and say hi!!

What to expect for the three stages of labor As labor progresses, contractions become closer together, are stronger and last longer. In active labor, contractions may be every 3-5 minutes.

I am always reminding my clients that this is their birth, their baby, their body and they have the right to set boundaries anyway they like.

After having a client express concerns about visitors after birth I put together a couple signs for her to hang on her front door.

This could also be posted on social media making family and friends aware of your request before hand.

Yes it’s exciting to see the new baby and most likely the parents are excited to introduce the new baby to you. It’s important to remember that the new baby and their families needs come first. Having a stream of visitors coming and going can be stressful on new parents.

So the next time you go visit a new baby keep these rules in mind. Help the family settle into their new routine by respecting their boundaries.

Did you know we have gift certificates?

I'm Caitlin. I have lived in Colorado for over 15 years by way of oklahoma. Buena Vista, CO is now where I call home. I have two girls Lorali 10 and Hazel 5. I became interested in birth work after the birth of my first daughter. Both of my girls were born in the comfort of my own home accompanied by my wonderful midwife. I got my birth doula and placenta encapsulation certificates in November, 2020. I am excited to serve the community around me.

I’m Nicole. I’ve lived in Colorado now for 8 years coming here from Iowa. I’m a mom to two kids: Oliver, 10 and Fiona, 4. Oliver was born via cesarean and Fiona was born via VBAC, which I consider one of my greatest accomplishments. I finished my birth doula training in November, 2020. I’ve been a SAHM for a while now but worked as a pediatric ED RN for years. I also completed my lactation counselor training in 2019. I have been interested in childbirth for years now and I am excited to serve families in my community.

We met in 2013 when our oldest children became fast friends in pre-school. We were both looking for other mom friends and luckily found each other through their friendship. We share a lot of interests: all things birth, camping, climbing, skiing, paddle boarding and rafting. We are both life long learners and love working together to provide the best evidence based care for growing families.

Did you know know that what you see in the movies, your water breaking first, is actually rare? Here are some fun facts about what can happen when your water breaks. Let us know in the comments how your labor started.

Labor contractions are often described as feeling like a wave, because their intensity slowly rises, peaks, and then slowly decreases. 🌊🌙🌊

Did you visualize waves during your contractions? If not, what kind of visualization helped you?
