Our Bozeman and Livingston Doula Birth Team

Here at Saddlepeak Birth we pride ourselves in being able to provide the perfect care to empower your birth experience. Birth is not only life-changing, but it is incredibly vulnerable. We want you to not only know all of your options as new parents, but we want you to be empowered by each and every choice you get to make.  Not every doula fits with every family. We want to make sure you have a beautiful fit for your doula team. We also want our doulas to be fresh and rested and ready to help you when your birth finds you. Because of this we function as a team. We have your primary doula walking beside you as well as a team of backup support in case your doula needs help. This also allows our doulas to have time for vacations and time away with their families. We also want you all to know that all of our doulas and team members are here to serve you and welcome you into our Saddlepeak Birth family. 

On top of emotional support we also want to offer a variety of packages and experience options for our clients as well. We want to make doula care as accessible as possible to fit each families needs and desires. Check out each of our individual pages to read about who we are, what we believe, and what comes in our packages.
