I am a mom of one who is passionate about health and wellness. I am a Holistic Practitioner and Creative. I love helping others and creating so I am here to serve humanity mind, body, and spirit through educating, encouraging, and reminding people of their power. My call is to assist women on their journey to live their best lives and vibrate at their highest level. I knew from the age of 12 I would be destined to work with women, but wasn’t sure in what way until I lived a bit longer. I have completed the Journey of Young Women program which is a training in facilitating circle for young women of coming of age. The program was transformational in my own journey as a woman. I felt a greater acceptance and reverence for myself and the earth/Nature. Becoming a supervisor in the USAF and mentoring young Airman brought me to my current path in coaching and doula work. I worked in both food service and fitness while in the service which grew my interest in nutrition and fitness. I enjoyed yoga from the first time I took a class in college and always wanted to develop my own regular practice and decided to train as a yoga teacher in order to meet that goal and share with others the peace it brings me. I wear many hats all in the name of helping others be the best version of themselves loving themselves completely and living authentically.

Care philosophy

Gain continuous mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional support before, during, and shortly after birth to achieve the healthiest and most satisfying experience possible. I'm here to educate, encourage, and remind you of your power so that you make informed decisions about this milestone/ sacred journey.

    Quantanique was an amazing support physically and emotionally through out the pregnancy and laboring process. She was knowledgeable in all areas that I had questions regarding my higher risk pregnancy and anything she hadn’t encountered before she worked diligently to research and help find me the best information to establish the best plan of care. I appreciated her insight as well as her support through such a difficult time!

A postpartum doula in Colorado Springs, CO is meant to help the entire family and their role is not just limited to the birthing parent and newborn. A doula provides physical and emotional support to parents and siblings, but they also offer information and advice regarding how to feed, bathe, swaddle, and soothe the baby.

They also often help with postpartum depression issues, and are considered child care “consultants” rather than medical professionals. Many postpartum doulas in Colorado Springs, CO offer a range of services that can help with parents trying to adjust to a newborn child. These services often include:

  • Sibling care

  • Parent-baby bonding
  • Physical and emotional recovery

A postpartum doula in Colorado Springs, CO can have a lasting positive impact on a family and help them feel more confident about their parenting role and the way that they feed and nurture their baby. They might offer advice regarding feeding, bathing, and parent-baby bonding.

It is important to note that a postpartum doula might offer advice but is not expected to provide medical care of any kind or serve as a replacement to an accredited physician. Postpartum doulas are also not qualified to prescribe medication.

Many new parents want to know about certified postpartum doulas and how exactly they are certified. Since the demand for postpartum doulas has greatly expanded in the last several years, the number of reputable postpartum doula training and certification programs has grown in Colorado Springs, CO. Training criteria can differ from program to program, but most follow a similar curriculum which includes core academic curriculum and practical hours and real-life care experience.

One of the most common national postpartum doula training certifications comes from DONA International. A postpartum doula usually receives about 27 hours of practical training before they are a certified postpartum doula.

There are also CAPPA-certified postpartum doulas in Colorado Springs, CO, as well. These doulas were certified by the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association, an international organization that certifies doulas and other childbirth educators/professionals.

As a reminder, because postpartum doulas are not trained to be a medical professional and diagnose and treat medical conditions, a certification is not required for them to practice.

As their names suggest, a birth doula’s main priority is to provide support services before, during and in the moments immediately after childbirth. A postpartum doula’s obligations usually begin after the birth, for several weeks or months. In many cases, your birth doula will also be a trained and certified postpartum doula, which can provide a continuity of care that many parents find extremely valuable.

Many parents want to know whether a postpartum doula or a baby nurse would meet their needs and expectations. A baby nurse might be focused on making sure that a baby sleeps or feeds properly, but that might be the extent of their role. A postpartum doula generally offers more holistic services for their clients.

A postpartum doula in Colorado Springs, CO is expected to be more involved with the family as a whole. They might remain involved in sibling care or also provide emotional support to the partner as both parents adjust to becoming new parents. This may even include support for older siblings, light housework, and even meal prep. A postpartum doula provides more physical, emotional, and informational support than a baby nurse.

You can hire two types of doulas in Colorado Springs, CO: a birth doula and a postpartum doula. The birth doula is during your pregnancy and through the birth of your child. They provide you with emotional, physical and educational support during your pregnancy, your labor and delivery and for the first few hours after your child is born.
