Birth Your Way
Birth Your Way is the podcast where a birth doula interviews local childbirth providers so you don’t have to.
Most doulas and childbirth educators recommend interviewing several providers during pregnancy to find the right fit for your birth. It’s great advice! But who has time to schedule a dozen consults, especially while growing a human?
On this show, Fort Collins birth doula and childbirth educator Danielle Stenger sits down with the people who support birth across Northern Colorado - OBs, midwives, nurses, lactation consultants, pelvic floor therapists, chiropractors, and more - to ask the exact questions expectant parents are told to ask when choosing their care team.
Each episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how different providers approach pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care so you can better understand your options and build the birth team that aligns with your values.
Whether you’re newly pregnant, planning a baby, or simply curious about the birth world in Fort Collins and Northern Colorado, this podcast will help you feel more informed, confident, and supported as you prepare to welcome your baby.
I'm so glad you found your way to this space, and I can’t wait to introduce you to the incredible people supporting birth in Northern Colorado.
