Doula Support

Full-Spectrum Doula Care in Boulder County & Surrounding Areas

Doula Support

At Community Roots Midwife Collective, we understand that no one navigates pregnancy, birth, and postpartum alone. Building a trusted network of doulas is a natural extension of our commitment to community-based, culturally affirming care.

Sharing a trusted network of doulas on our website reflects our commitment to culturally affirming, relationship-centered support for our focus communities. These doulas offer care that honors identity, lived experience, and the diverse needs of the families we serve.

Doula support also strengthens full spectrum care across the childbearing continuum. From fertility and pregnancy through birth, postpartum, and beyond, doulas offer continuity that complements midwifery care and centers reproductive self-determination. Together, this creates a more holistic and responsive care experience for families.

Community Roots Midwife Collective holds deep responsibility in how care is offered and accessed. By connecting families with trusted doulas, we are actively participating in a model of care that prioritizes autonomy, informed choice, and community accountability, while advocating for more just and equitable systems.

Ultimately, this network reflects our belief that care begins from within. By fostering collaboration, clear communication, and shared responsibility among midwives, doulas, and families, we strengthen not only individual care experiences, but the health and resilience of our entire community.

Meet The Doulas

Stephanie Minnaert (she/her)

Stephanie’s philosophy of birth is rooted in supporting families through conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum as a form of empowerment and initiation. She believes every family deserves support that honors their choices and protects their space. She uses her skills and intuition as a caregiver to support families during this deeply transformative time.

Stephanie’s passage into birthwork began at the point of conception with her first child in 2018. This birth experience awakened her to the calling of community care, midwifery, and birth as a launch point for building resilient families. Stephanie is a strong advocate for people within her care and has an innate sense of attunement for her clients’ needs. 

She loves working with different types of families and identities including single/solo parents, queer folks, and nontraditional family dynamics and in various birth settings.​

Stephanie lives in Longmont, CO with her two kids and two kitties. In her freetime, she loves running up a mountain, playing in the dirt, and studying astrology. Stephanie also works in the nonprofit space and has done so for over 15 years including working with Community Roots Midwife Collective as the Fundraising & Operations Coordinator.

Ali Sugarman (she/her)

Ali’s purpose in this lifetime is assisting birthing people and their partners as they transition into parenthood by offering them the tools, information and support they need to achieve a positive, nurtured experience.

Ali’s holistic health background allows her to incorporate and honor the mind-body-spirit connection into her practice, while simultaneously respecting allopathic medicine and all it has to offer. Teaching mindfulness and the innate wisdom of the body is something Ali really enjoy sharing with her clients. Ali’s primary goal is to reduce fear and create safe, peaceful environments for the transition from womb to world. Whatever your path and preferences, Ali is honored to be a part of the magic of this season.
