Hello friends, I’m so glad you’re here!

About Eloise Howell

Eloise Howell is a Colorado native with a deep passion for birth work, movement, art, critical psychology, transformative justice, and the outdoors. As a doula, she offers not only professional expertise but also a warm, grounded presence rooted in years of study, community engagement, and hands-on experience.

Journey into Birth Work

Eloise’s path into birth work began during her master’s program, where she researched how birth experiences shape lifelong outcomes for both mother and baby. That research affirmed what she had long believed—that how we give birth matters deeply.

She trained and certified as a birth doula through DONA International and gained invaluable hospital experience with the Denver Health Doula Program, supporting dozens of families through labor. She is an approved Medicaid and CHP+ provider and is credentialed with multiple other insurance companies and hospitals.

• 9th Avenue Doulas (Rose Medical Center)

• Health First Colorado (Medicaid)

• Kaiser Permanente

• Colorado Mountain Doulas
