Helping Families Create Happy Memories One Birth at a Time

Serving the Denver Metro Area

I believe that it is the woman's right to give birth and to become a mother in the best way she knows how. We are surrounded by TV and movies that have told us what birth sounds and feels like; and at the end of 30 minutes, you have a perfectly pristine mother and baby. Not realistic. Few of us have actually seen childbirth or experienced childbirth in which the mother is empowered and has actively chosen how she will labor and birth. Time schedules, checklists, and societal expectations don't give mothers an empowered birth.

As your doula, I can help you have an informed and powerful childbirth that is determined by you. I believe that hospital births, home births, and birth center births each have a place within the realm of childbirth; and it is up to you as to what is right for you and will have the best support for you.

I support women of all backgrounds and ages. I support without judgement and with a careful ear that gives me the compassion, understanding, and awareness that a doula needs.

Sincerely,

Nora Nicole Murrell

"It is possible to have an ecstatic birth. In fact, that is the best natural high that I know of. And these states of consciousness are best reached when a woman is fully aware and fully awake. Women don't have a way to know how their body works until they really try it out in birth. I think that women can be just completely surprised by the change in them from giving birth. You have something powerful in you - that fierce thing comes up and I think babies need moms to have that fierceness. You feel like you can do anything and that's the feeling we want moms to have."
