Queen City BirthWork

Queen City BirthWork Queen City BirthWork was created as an inclusive space for all birthing folks to find the guidance, Queen City BirthWork was established in 2020.

We were known first as Mama Bee Doula in 2012, then added to the team and became Mama Bee Doulas in 2014. After nearly a decade of supporting Colorado families, becoming Queen City BirthWork is a sign of our evolution into a collective of highly experienced, passionate birthworkers who provide top-notch support for our clients, and work to make a positive change in maternity care in our state. Where we stand today was not an effortless walk. Rather a climb, that required mucho perseverance.

We love this shot a client’s partner took and sent to us!
You can see an incredible moment of peace and rest between contractions.
And you can also see our wonderful giving loving support.
Sometimes doula-ing is incredibly hands on. And sometimes it looks just like this. Sitting by, giving quiet encouragement, making sure your client knows they are so strong and that they are not alone.
Most often, births need both types of support and a great doula knows when to be hands on and when to sit back and let them do their thing, while offering all of the emotional support and encouragement.
😍💛💫

Congratulations to the winner of our 2021 Photo Contest, Sessy Spira of Queen City BirthWork]] .  To see more of Sessy's photograhy, visit: Queen City BirthWork]] or https://www.queencitybirthwork.com/birth-photos

This photo captures the theme of this year's contest "Midwifery in Focus" so wonderfully don't you think? What you can't tell just from looking at it is that this photo has a twist. It is actually featuring two different MCU student midwives. 

The person featured in the photo is an MCU student midwife who is checking fetal heart tones while the client pumps to help stimulate contractions. Beyond just checking for a heart beat, monitoring fetal heart rate is a necessary midwifery skill. MCU has an entire course dedicated to the topic and also offers it as a workshop at Skill Suites Conferences. Midwives dedicate thousands of hours to coursework and skills training to ensure that they are providing safe, high quality care to their clients. 

Additionally, the person taking the photograph, Sessy Spira, is also a student midwife at MCU. Sessy began Queen City Birth Work in 2012 and since that time has served the area surrounding Denver, Colorado as a doula, photographer, prenatal body worker, and certified lactation consultant. Like Sessy, many student midwives come from a background of birth work and continue in these roles while they study midwifery. This is partly by choice (birth workers are passionate about what they do!) and partly out of necessity, as this is the only way most people can support themselves while training to become a midwife. 

This is where the Briana Blackwelder Scholarship comes in. By providing funds to MCU student midwives who are committed to providing culturally competent and ethical care to some of the most vulnerable populations in our country, this scholarship helps lessen the burden of student midwives to prevent burnout and provide them with increased peace of mind. Visit the link in our bio to find out more about this scholarship and how you can donate.

That sacred moment of connection as you wait for your babe to come earthside.
A bit of the comfort of touch in an anxious moment; and a bit of remembering what all has brought you to this moment together meeting the emotions of what all is to come.
Sacred. Vulnerable. Beautiful.
And then the moment you meet your babe. ✨
