Raia Allen-Carrico
My name is Raia Allen-Carrico. I am a certified Doula through Rocky Mountain Doula, CAPPA trained Postpartum Doula, a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), and a certified VBAC specialist (VBAC Link). I live and work in the Denver metro area. I serve families at hospitals, birth centers, and home births in Denver and surrounding areas. I am very passionate about incorporating movement for labor pain management and minimizing interventions.
Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated with pregnancy, birth, and everything child-care-related. In 2021, I became a personal trainer and specialized in pre/post-natal training. Once I learned about birth doulas, the rest was history! Guiding families through this sacred time is truly my calling. I love using my knowledge of anatomy and movement to aid in labor progression and pain management.
I believe that with proper movement, education, and support, women can learn to trust their bodies and understand they were meant for birth. My birth philosophy is about preparing and supporting a woman's mind, body, and soul. Birth can be a powerful and transformative experience that every family should have access to. This is a family’s opportunity to have the birth they've always imagined and relish in the strength that was there all along.
