Hi! My name is Madelyn Long and I simply marvel at the process of birth. The whole process, from conception to birth to parenting and beyond; the raw beauty of it all!
As a doula and childbirth educator I seek to hold space for you to allow your soul to unfold and bloom in the transforming time of birth! To empower you to know the Power within you and the beautiful design of your body and your baby. To help you reclaim your beautiful dignity as a woman, as you bare new life! I hope all families can experience the power of God's Presence in their births. I approach things with a Christian perspective; meaning that life is viewed as a gift at every stage! I look forward to celebrating new life with you and am honored that you have considered me to join you as your love made flesh becomes unveiled!

I am Dawn Cerino and I am the mother of three adult daughters whom I’ve had the pleasure of raising over the past 27 years. My husband and I are now empty nesters which affords me the opportunity to follow my passion of providing full support to women in labor and beyond. I was blessed to help my sister give birth to my niece, which made it clear to me that this was my passion and calling. Not having a doula at my own births, made me realize that I would have benefited from having someone navigate and calm my fears throughout the birthing process. Now, I can devote my time and would love to give you the support you need and deserve.

Liz Gallant Littleton, Colorado Serving Denver:

Website: http://www.heartstringsdoula.com
Email: lizziecollins1106@gmail.com
Location: Littleton, Colorado Serving the Denver Metro Area My name is Liz Gallant and I have been a DONA-certified Birth and Postpartum Doula for the past 5 years. Prior to becoming a doula, I was an educator with added teaching endorsements in Bilingual/ESL, Special Education, Physical Education, and Gifted/Talented Education. I have a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Colorado. I was introduced to the concept of a doula when pregnant with my first child in 2004. The Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator I hired at the last minute (!) became my doula, and I credit her with helping me to conquer my fears during that empowering birth of my daughter, Hope. I am forever grateful to her for showing me my strength. I have always been extremely interested in health, nutrition, and wellness and I weave this into my work as a doula. My husband and I have four daughters, ages 9-14, and three high-maintenance and lovable dogs. We live in Littleton and stay quite busy with sports of all kinds, reading, baking, and generally trying to appreciate all the good in our lives. This is not always easy, as we all know, but worth the effort! It is my goal to help women realize the strength they have, through pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period- letting go of fears and self-criticism. Children pull at our "heartstrings" every single day, and it's an honor to support families on the challenging and rewarding path called Parenting. I'd love to hear from you anytime.

Birth, PP, and Bereavement Doula, Breastfeeding Specialist

Religion: Catholic (Pro-life)
Hi! I’m Lisa. I’m training as a Doula through DONA and I have had three children of my own. I’m a practicing Catholic and so grateful to have a unit of women like this who want to support others. Having convictions has driven me forward but also created conflict when it comes to healthcare. The Catholic approach is contrary to most mainstream approaches and can sometimes create doubt and frustration when you’re trying to stand by your faith. I want to be a support for families in the most unique times and provide help when needed.

Tabitha Kaza Manassa, VA:

Website: www.heavenandbirth.com
About Tabitha: I love birth. Always have. As the oldest of ten, a new baby meant more joy. As the mother of twelve (soon to be thirteen!), birth meant the most intimate and romantic and ecstatic moments of my marriage. As a doula for the past eight years, who has attended over 200 births, I support all manner of birth, in every setting, home and birth center and hospital. Christ himself used birth to explain the bliss of heaven--every woman deserves to know what is possible for birth!
