Welcome to Kindred Doula Care!
My name is Karly and I am your local Denver Birth & Postpartum Doula.
I am so excited to be a part of this journey of welcoming your baby into the world! I’m passionate about supporting you in the ways that feel good and empowering for you to make this incredible transition of expanding your family.
I service the entire Denver Metro area. If there’s a question about whether you are in my service area, reach out! Please take a look at my offerings to see which services might best serve you. Additionally, we can create a customized package to collaborate on any combination of my offerings that will uniquely suit you.
Education, tools, and resources for your birth partner so that your chosen support person can provide the most nurturing, caring, empowering support and advocacy for you during your birth.
Support during the final weeks of pregnancy, during labor and the birth of your baby, as well as follow-up postnatal support. This includes emotional and physical support for you and your birth team, informative care, empowerment for advocacy, and birth photography (if requested).
Physical, mental, and emotional support in the weeks and months following birth. This can come in the form of: processing your birth and the transition of adding a new family member, help with infant care, meal preparation, light household chores, family support, providing other resources as needed.
Whether you will be hiring a doula for your birth or not, it can be incredibly helpful to have some more in-depth training for the person or people you are choosing to have support you in your birthing space. Support partners can be any loved one, perhaps a significant other, friend, or family member. I have 2 different packages to provide such guidance for your birth support partner to be able to support you mentally, emotionally, and physically.
My goal through this training is to bring your chosen support person up to speed so that they can provide the most nurturing, caring, empowering support and advocacy for you during your birth.

Each birth experience is unique and so memorable. It is a time that will remain with you for life. Giving birth and becoming a parent to a new baby can be intimidating.
My role as a doula is to support you, give you the tools and resources to make your birthing journey a positive and comfortable experience, and I provide education that will empower you in making choices that feel right for you for your birth.
My support begins during your pregnancy and concludes early in the postpartum period. My role as a Birth Doula will entail the following:
$1200
✓ Two 2-hour Prenatal Visits (4 Hours)
✓ Labor Support
✓ Birth Photography
✓ Up to 2 hours immediately after birth
✓ One 2-hour Postpartum Visit (2 Hours)
$1500
✓ Three 2-hour Prenatal Visits (6 Hours)
✓ Labor Support
✓ Birth Photography
✓ Up to 2 hours immediately after birth
✓ Two 2-hour Postpartum Visits (4 Hours)
Bringing home your newborn is such a special time, but also entails a great transition period in integrating this new little family member into your lives. Many challenges arise when trying to juggle it all, and we’re not meant to do it alone – it takes a village.
My support as a postpartum doula during this time helps to alleviate some of the responsibilities and tasks needing to be completed. And my goal is to help you gain confidence in getting through this transformation to your lives.
Our time together begins at any point in time after the birth of your child. I will remain with you up until the 1st year of your child’s life, but really whenever it feels right to you to conclude. I have two different Postpartum Doula Service options:

I have an insatiable hunger for knowledge, and an adventurous soul that craves novelty & challenge. I’ve traveled all over the world alone, from riding camels at the pyramids of Giza to trekking the Himalayas to Mount Everest. I am a child of the mountains, having grown up in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico – I love hiking and forest bathing. I’m a mother to a vibrant 1-year-old boy, and expecting Baby #2.
I have a Master of Science in Psychology, and a partially completed Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’ve been an entrepreneur and business owner for 9 years as a freelance traveling model, and then in 2021 I began offering Life Coaching services with a focus on resilience and connection, as I come from a trauma-informed background.
I hold certificates in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga, and am a certified Tantric Embodiment Facilitator. I hold a current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification. In addition to my career choice in Doula work, I am pursuing an education in Diagnostic Medical Sonography to become an Ultrasound Technologist.
“Birthing is our sacred right, and parenting is both our gift and contribution.”
-Karly Salinas
I am currently expecting my second child as well. My first birth held the greatest challenges I’ve ever faced in life. But it was incredible, and the way my birth team and doula surrounded me with support inspired me further in my own work as a doula. Throughout my fertility journey in conceiving and birthing my son, I uncovered a deep passion for all things surrounding pregnancy, birth, and babies. This led me to pursue a dynamic career that reflects my deep desire to support and inform others throughout their journey of bringing a child into the world.
