Hollie Hauptly - Utah Doula and Childbirth Educator, Salt Lake City, UT (2025)

My role as a birth doula is to support women and their families during pregnancy, birth, and the beginning stages of parenting. One of my main goals is to help create a safe and satisfying birth experience during labor and delivery. I draw on my knowledge and experience as a doula and mother to provide informational and emotional support, as well as physical comfort. Many studies have shown that t

here are significant benefits to having a doula including a reduction in the number of cesareans, shorter births, and less use of Pitocin, analgesia, and forceps. It is an honor and pleasure to work with families during this special of their lives.

It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself and we have some new followers, so let's get to know each other!

I have been a doula, childbirth educator, and trainer for almost 15 years. Since 2010, I’ve had the honor of supporting hundreds of couples through pregnancy and birth in hospitals, birth centers, and home births across three different states. Every family and every birth has taught me something new, and I bring that experience to every client I serve.

My journey into birth work started with the birth of my first child. Having a doula at that birth completely changed my life—it gave me confidence, peace, and a deep sense of trust in my body and my abilities. That experience lit a fire in me that hasn’t burned out since! Shortly after, I trained as a doula, joined Birth Boot Camp in 2013, and today I’m proud to be the owner and CEO of this amazing organization.

A little more about me:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦I’m a homeschooling mom of four amazing kids (3 boys and 1 girl) who’ve taught me so much about life, love, and patience.
👨‍🦰My husband Lawrence is a prenatal and pediatric chiropractor, so our lives truly revolve around supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
📘I love reading, sewing, and playing D&D or board games with friends.
🌞I love the summer! We love to go camping and kayaking all summer long.
🛳And I love a good cruise—bring on the ocean views and adventure!

My passion goes beyond birth work—it's about empowering families to feel confident and supported throughout their journey. Whether I’m attending births, teaching childbirth classes, or training the next generation of doulas and educators, my goal is to provide knowledge, ease concerns, and celebrate each family’s unique path to parenthood.

Labor is often associated with pain, but what if we changed how we think about it? The PAIN acronym helps us understand labor sensations in a new light:

✨ Purposeful – Every contraction serves a purpose, helping your baby move closer to being in your arms.
✨ Anticipated – You know labor is coming, which means you can prepare for it both mentally and physically.
✨ Intermittent – Contractions come in waves, giving you a chance to rest and recover between each one.
✨ Normal – The sensations you feel during labor are natural, and your body is built for this process.

The way we view labor makes a big difference. Instead of fearing it, we can approach it with knowledge, tools, and confidence!

Are you ready to prepare for birth in a way that leaves you feeling calm and confident? My Birth Boot Camp classes are designed to help you do just that. Join me as we dive into relaxation techniques, practical tools, and everything you need to know to approach your birth with confidence.
