(SHE, HER, HERS)

My name is Dez, and as a mom of two awesome kids, I know first-hand what a wild ride the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience can be. In 2012, once both of my children had started school, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist and Reiki practitioner and eventually opened my private practice, Black Lotus Healing Arts. Somewhere along the way, I made the happy discovery that I LOVE working on pregnant and post-partum people. This, along with my unconditional love for babies, made getting trained as a Doula an obvious choice for me.  I am also a Certified Empowerment Self Defense Instructor and Instructor Trainer, which provides the Yang to the Yin of Doula work.  This makes me really good at setting boundaries, and makes me a good advocate for my clients.  I work with a Doula collective in Fort Collins, which means that I have access to a hive mind of Doulas, and we stay up to date on training and information.  Please reach out for more information, I would be honored to be your Doula.
