Hi, I'm Shelly [she/her].
I am a certified birth doula and childbirth educator (training w/ ICEA) located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
After living in Middle Tennessee practically my entire life, I moved here in 2017, with my partner, Josh. We currently have two cats, a bearded dragon and seven chickens that ensure each day to be unlike the last! When I’m not providing doula support, I enjoy a doing a multitude of different things, but my top favorites would have to be gardening, cooking (and eating of course) good food, watching movies and getting lost in a good book. I have always been fascinated with births since I was younger, so I am very excited and passionate about making it my life's work!
