Hi! I'm Monique and I am passionate about serving women and families. I've been a mom for over 30 years, and I still remember my firs birth like it was yesterday! I have given birth 9 times and have 11 children. I have personally experienced natural births in the hospital, as well as a Cesarean, 4 homebirths and a final high-risk pregnancy with our precious son with Down Syndrome. Along the way, I've learned a few things about the parenthood journey, and I love to encourage families on theirs. With 14 years of birth experience, I've seen both what birth can be like, and what lack of support and knowledge leads to. I come alongside women and guide them to a more satisfying birth experience with tools to walk in their values in the sacred birth space.
My husband and I live on the plains east of Colorado Springs with our (still-at-home) five boys, 9 chickens and 3 cats. We enjoy trying to get things to grow out here, hikes in the mountains and a good family read-aloud. We believe that children are a blessing from the Lord (Psalm 127:3)
"She truly made an amazing impact on my birth experience and I couldn't imagine what it would have been like without her. She is a calm presence, a huge encourager, and gives excellent guidance and direction. She is confident in her work and in the mother's body and what it is supposed to do during the whole process. She is kind and gentle and has a warm spirit that really makes you feel comfortable. She is also great at working alongside your partner!"
"I could say so many amazing things about working with Monique! ! As a first time mom, I was looking for someone to support me and encourage me every step of the way as I planned a home birth. From our initial call to our postpartum visit, she made me feel heard and cared for the whole time! Monique is very experienced and will give you a peace of mind about your pregnancy and birth experience. She helped my husband and I work as a team as we prepped for the arrival of our baby girl and helped walk me through my birth plan. After I gave birth, Monique took such good care of us, from cleaning to helping baby latch to making me a meal! I couldn’t recommend her enough!"
"Monique was the best! She was so caring, intentional, and compassionate. I felt like I learned a lot and was more prepared and supported by far than I would have been without her. I was actually kind of sad when I had to say goodbye during the postpartum visit! Super grateful for Grace of Life!"
