Sweetness and Hope - Birth Doula

03/23/2026

🚨 If you’re pregnant—or might be someday—this affects you.

In Colorado, you can choose a midwife…
But if you need hospital care?
You may lose your midwife.

Scheduled today to be heard in committee tomorrow, Tuesday 3/24/26 - take action TODAY!

Here’s why 👇

Right now, hospitals can require certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) and certified midwives (CMs) to have a physician “signature” just to obtain hospital privileges.

That requirement was removed outside of hospitals in 2010 when Colorado recognized APRNs as independent providers, except in hospital systems.

So your provider can legally care for you… just not where 97% of births happen.

💔 That means:
• Disrupted care at the most vulnerable moment
• Less choice in providers
• More gaps in access to care

We are deeply grateful for our OB/GYN colleagues.
Midwifery is a distinct specialty—not a subset of OB—and we already work together in team-based care, just like every other specialty.
We also respect and support the many midwives working within hospital systems—this is not about individuals, but about removing structural barriers that limit access.

HB26-1092 helps fix this.

This bill does not expand scope.
It simply says public hospitals can’t require a supervisory or written collaborative agreement for CNMs/CMs to have privileges.

💡 What this could mean:
• You keep your provider—even if plans change
• More access in rural areas
• Safer, smoother care transitions
• More support during birth

And we need it.

➡️ 38% of Colorado counties are maternity care deserts
➡️ 1 in 5 can’t access first trimester care

Legislators need to hear from REAL families.

Two sweet babies, born just 3 hours apart 💜💙

I had the honor of supporting two families I adore this weekend. Thankfully, they were both at the same hospital! It was such a joy to walk alongside them as they welcomed their little ones.

I am So thankful to do this work. 🙏

I’m so excited to be part of Rocky Mountain Doula Cooperative and to work alongside 10 other amazing, faith-filled doulas serving women in this community.

I will still be taking my own clients, but fewer each month so that I can offer those families even better support and availability.

Looking back at 2025….This year held so many stories. 35 births supported—15 families welcoming their first baby, and 20 welcoming babies number 2, 3, 4, or 5! Countless hours—337 of them spent in labor support. From quiet water births at home to medically complex hospital births, and even one breech baby, there were many sweet moments.

Some of the greatest honors of 2025 included:
💜 Supporting 4 families who returned to me again this year and hearing from many past clients who will be welcoming babies in 2026!
💙 Completing training to become a Certified Perinatal Patient Advocate, so I can better support my clients.
💜 One of my favorite moments of the year was becoming a godparent to a sweet baby that I also had the privilege of supporting as a doula this year.

Thank you to every family who trusted me this year. I am so grateful. And I continue to pray for those who experienced loss and are still waiting. 🙏

I recently had some new photos taken by the wonderful so it feels like the perfect time to say hello!

I’m Jamie — a wife, mom of four, birth and postpartum doula, and perinatal patient advocate serving families here in Colorado Springs! 🏔️ My own birth experiences sparked a passion for helping women feel seen, supported, and empowered. My mission is to provide unwavering emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum — while also offering spiritual encouragement every step of the way.

I believe each birth is a sacred gift from God. 🙏 My faith is the foundation of my work, guiding me to serve with compassion, grace, and deep respect for every woman and family I support. My hope is to bring an extra layer of love and faith into every birthing experience. 🤍

Outside of birthwork, I love homeschooling, crocheting, doing puzzles, and spending time with my family.

Supporting families through one of life’s holiest moments is truly my calling, and I’m so grateful for every family who welcomes me into their birth space. Thank you for being here! 🌺
