Birth Doula
Meldyn Spendlove
Hi, I’m Meldyn—a mother of seven, one in Heaven, and soon-to-be grandma. As an empty nester I am embracing and stepping into my passion for birth work. I believe the birthing experience is sacred, and being part of that journey is one of my greatest joys. Six of my children were born at home, and my seventh was a natural birth in the hospital. My doula journey began in a hospital setting, then expanded to a birthing center, giving me diverse experience in different environments.
Nurturing others is one of my greatest gifts. I carry my experience along with my faith into my doula practice, helping you create birth space that aligns with your beliefs and desires.

Emma Stonesmyth
Hi, I’m Emma! I am passionate about helping people have empowering birth experiences. I attend births at hospitals, birth centers, and homes. Whatever your goal is, whether it’s a healthy hospital birth with an epidural, or a natural medication-free birth, I support you all the way! As a doula, my role is to support, encourage, and hold space for you. I live with my husband in central Colorado Springs. We love to hike and cross-country ski, and are looking forward to growing our own family soon. In addition to my cherished work as a doula, I have a job in natural resources. When I’m not working or on the couch delving into my newest question about childbirth, I enjoy baking and running trail races.

Birth Doula
Ashke Papp
I’m Ashke, a mother, educator, herbalist, nutritionist, and now a doula dedicated to supporting women through the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. After birthing my son at home, I felt a deep calling to help other women embrace the transformative power of pregnancy and birth. I bring a holistic and nurturing approach to my work, grounded in the values of informed consent, inclusivity, and compassionate care.
I believe that every family’s journey is unique, and I’m here to provide the support you need—whether that’s through birth education, emotional guidance, or simply holding space for you as you navigate your path. My goal is to empower you to make the choices that feel right for you, ensuring that you feel fully seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.

Birth Doula
Sibyl Bence
Hi, Im Sibyl, a certified birth doula and prenatal/pediatric/family chiropractor. I have been a birth doula for the past 2 years and have been a chiropractor for the past 5 years in
Michigan. I moved with my husband to Colorado Springs this year and am loving
everything Colorado has to offer! I have always had a passion for caring for pregnant moms. I became a birth doula because having the opportunity of sharing in the very special moment of helping to bring a new life earthside is such a blessing! I want to help empower moms with the confidence to have natural births, as society has an overwhelming negative mindset surrounding birth. I love providing moms and dads the tools that they need to have a more comfortable and confident birth and to support them in whatever capacity is necessary during labor and birth.
As your birth doula, I come alongside and use all my experience, training, and sense to
bring harmony and empowerment during your birth journey. I support you in whatever space and whatever way you choose to have your birth. I believe that God designed the human body to do amazing things and the birthing process is no exception! I find it so beautiful that every birth has its own story and every birth truly is a miracle.

Birth Doula
Emma Sanchez
Hi there- I’m Emma, birth doula, wife, and mama to two little girls who I birthed at Beginnings Birth Center. With my first baby, I was lovingly doula’d for a long, 76 hour labor, and afterwards knew that birth work was 100% what I was called to do. I received my certification through Childbirth International in 2023 and have attended labors at home, birth center and hospital. My days are spent playing outside with my family, running the meals ministry at our church, and making way too much sourdough. I have my bachelor’s degree in statistics, so I love researching and sharing about evidence based birth, but know that mama’s intuition can’t be beat!! My aim is to always bring a presence of warmth, reverence, and peace to my clients’ births, and would love to support you in the birth you’ve dreamed of.

Demetria "Deme" Schutz
Hi! I’m Deme - I’m a Colorado native, mama to one beautiful girl, partner to my best friend and husband, former high school math teacher, and lover of the outdoors, gardening, knitting, reading and cooking. I’m honored to be a doula, which is to be a deep support to other women and families through the threshold of birth. I believe we are more powerful than we often know - especially when we have solid support and information by our side. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good match to be your doula!
