About me

Hi All! I am Cheryl Small, a Birth & Postpartum Doula and Childbirth Educator serving families in northern Colorado. Three decades ago I had my first baby via cesarean and my next three babies were born naturally at home attended by midwives, which was a decision that changed the course of my life. I am passionate about all things natural health and believe the body has the ability to perform beyond what our minds can comprehend. This includes physiological birth. The body knows what to do. Does that mean every birth goes accordingly? Not always. But I have found the biggest obstacle is not the body, but the mind, so when prepared with education, tools, support and informed decision making, the chances of obtaining your desired birth are greater. I have supported over 60 births in the last 2.5 years at home, in birthing centers and hospitals and would love to walk alongside you through pregnancy, labor, delivery and ALL things postpartum. It's vital to not forget the fourth trimester which is when baby comes home and families may need the most support. In my free time, I am often seeking out a new hiking trail in the mountains.

Service introduction

Hi! I am Cheryl Small, a Birth & Postpartum Doula and Childbirth Educator serving families in northern Colorado. I am a believer in physiological birth and while the outcome of birth cannot be predetermined because it is an unpredictable event, what can be assured though is that parents are going to meet their baby through this miraculous process. Our minds often get in the way of our desired goals where birth is concerned and I am deeply passionate about the importance of developing a relationship with my clients building trust so we can get to the business of preparation through education. I help families learn to trust their body and this process as pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum unfolds uniquely for them. Whether parents are looking for an advocate and support for baby's birth or an attentive loving and experienced care provider in your home once baby is born, I am that DOULA

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide daytime and overnight postpartum care?

Why yes I do! Maybe you need help around the house with chores such as laundry, dishes and meal prep along with care for baby in the daytime so you can care for other children/responsibilities or self care. Or you may prefer to have support overnight so you and your partner can get as much rest as possible? Perhaps you would like both, daytime and overnight support. We can tailor the postpartum schedule that makes the most sense for your needs.
