Welcome! I’m Ali Sugarman (She/Her). I’m a Full Spectrum Doula, Holistic Practitioner & Mama.
My 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.
My holistic health background allows me to incorporate and honor the mind-body-spirit connection into my practice, while simultaneously respecting allopathic medicine and all it has to offer. Teaching mindfulness and the innate wisdom of the body is something I really enjoy sharing with my clients. Whatever your path and preferences, I am honored to be a part of the magic of this season.
I believe that birth is natural and normal and that our bodies are primed for it. That being said, birth is unpredictable and I aim to educate my clients about the numerous possibilities that could take place. My primary goal is to reduce fear and create safe, peaceful environments for the transition from womb to world.
I’m so happy you’re here!
Why are you a doula?
I love supporting people through birth and postpartum. There’s truly nothing quite like it. Watching women and birthing folx trust their bodies, connect with their babies, and settle into new rhythms is endlessly inspiring and humbling.
I get to use my full toolkit as a doula, and I get to show up in such an intimate way during one of life’s biggest transitions. I’ve built deep connections through this work, and I’m grateful every day that it found me.
Outside of caring for new families…
I love live music, dancing, eating good food, and spending time with my husband & son. Being a part of nature, hiking and just being with the trees fills my cup. (Living in the mountains in Gilpin County offers bountiful opportunities for this!). I am passionate about developing a relationship with myself and practicing self care, which I bring into my doula work.
