Experienced, connected, and trauma-informed birth support so you can feel safe, supported, and grounded in labor.

It isn’t by chance that you’ve found your way here! I’d love to meet with you to hear more about how I might support you.
Hi! I’m Rebecca Peterson and I’m so glad you have found your way here!
I have spent the last 15 years serving families in Denver and Boulder as a doula, childbirth educator, yoga instructor and birth community member!
When I’m not at a birth or editing photos, I am having fun with my loving husband and two amazing kiddos! We enjoy running mountain trails, exploring new places, playing on the side of a mountain rock climbing and most importantly, enjoying slower moments as a family.
