Terri Burleson, (CD DONA)
I am the mother to three wonderful children ages 14, 10 and 8. I've been married for 18 years and have enjoyed being a stay at home mom for the last 13 years. After experiencing my own births and those of my close friends I was drawn to work as a doula. Through these experiences I gained a deeper appreciation for the value of caring, nurturing support during labor. I was fortunate enough to deliver all of my children naturally and realize this could not have happened without the consistent support of my husband and dear friend, Tammy.
I have been a doula since 2006 and have had the opportunity to attend a variety of births including medicated, non-medicated, mulitiples and home-birth and I feel passionate about a woman's power and ability to have the kind of birth experience she longs for. Birth is a beautiful, powerful and natural event. I believe that during labor, a mom needs to surround herself with people that believe in her ability and trust her body and I am always honored when chosen to be a part of that team. I also have a special place in my heart for helping families incorporate their Christian faith in their pregnancy and birth.
I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to work with my friend, Tammy, assisting other moms in creating a positive birth experience.
I work throughout the Denver area and into Boulder and Brighton and have worked in most of the area hospitals. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have in person, or by email or phone if that is more convenient.
