Colorado Caring Doulas

Caring for you before, during and after the birth of your baby.

Tammy Brannen-Smith, LCSW, CD (DONA)

Tammy is not currently taking new clients due to other professional commitments. If you need support, please contact Terri. 

Birth is one of the most important life experiences. We never forget our birth stories and share them over and over to our friends, family and children and even grandchildren. As a doula, I want every woman and her partner to know they have choices for their birth and with gentle support and encouragement they will be able to create a beautiful birth story.
My desire to become a doula has grown over the years following my own birth experiences and those of my friends and family. My own experiences were enriched with the support of my partner and also my best friend Terri at my side. My journey to motherhood included a struggle with infertility and now I feel so blessed to finally have 3 beautiful children including 19 year old twins.
In addition to my experience as a doula, I have worked with families and children as a licensed clinical social worker for 31 years. As a doula and counselor I have enjoyed working with parents of multiples, premature infants, infertility and adoption. Each of these experiences has deepened my appreciation for the natural supports we all have around us, including family, friends and faith.
With over 35 years of friendship, and the shared births of our six children, Terri and I enjoy working together and offering support and care to other women.
I live in Loveland, CO and work in the area from North Denver to Cheyenne, Wyoming. I have experience in all Northern Colorado Hospitals, Cheyenne and most Denver area hospitals and also have home birth experience. I would love to talk to you about your upcoming birth and answer any questions you might have about my services. I can be reached at 970-342-5440 or you can email me at tdessmith@yahoo.com.

Absolutely Phenomenal

I was privileged to have both Terri and Tammy during my first birth experience, and what an amazing experience it was to have them as my Doulas They are absolutely phenomenal! They stayed very focused and attentive to my every need for over fifteen hours during my labor. They were very encouraging, compassionate, and comforting. Their constant support and creative ideas helped me achieve my goal of a natural childbirth. They also offered consistent support to my family, and everyone including the nursing staff was amazed by them. They compliment each other and are an exceptional team. I highly recommend them to any expecting mother, and I will definitely utilize them for any future births. Individually and together they are outstanding women. I give them two thumbs up and five stars!!

Nothing Can Compare to Them

Had it not been for Terri and Tammy, by husband and I would have been lost. They remained calm, remained surefooted and reassured us that everything was ok. That no matter what they were there to hold our hands, and nurture us through this..... There is so much more that I could say about them. Nothing can compare to meeting them in person and having them usher your child into this world. Of all the things that I am grateful for on my son's birthday, it is three things - My faithful and dedicated husband, my son's safe delivery in this world, and two phenomenal doulas who loved us through it......Even to this day, I am honored to call both of these women my friends, and each parent they touch, each sweet baby they get to participate bringing in this world are all blessed to have CCD there.

We Wouldn’t Change a Thing

Tammy & Terri made our experience wonderful. We wouldn't change a thing and we would love to have them at our next birth. I don't think my husband would have left to eat or taken a nap if they weren't there.

Tammy was amazing, I don't know how I made it through my first birth without her! She helped me achieve my goals of a totally natural childbirth. She was a wonderful support throughout my entire pregnancy. I will always look back on my birth experience with fond memories, partly in thanks to her.
