Michael Slis
As a doula, my goal is to help families find their strength, and to support them during this beautiful phase of life. I started my journey by casually supporting friends and family members who were welcoming a new baby and came to me for advice. I realized not only how much my support meant to them, but how much it meant to me. I became a doula to offer care and encouragement to any family whether it be during labor and delivery or at home in those first several precious weeks.
I began working as a doula in 2021 and joined the Rose Doula team (now the 9th Avenue Doulas) in 2022. As a Certified Professional Doula I tailor my support to fit the needs of individual families. I have taken several additional trainings including Spinning Babies. I believe in meeting people where they are at. If you want to go unmedicated, I will fully support you every step of the way. Need an epidural? I’ll help guide you through different positions to keep you comfortable and keep things moving.
I am a mother of four and have lived in Colorado my entire life. My husband and I met as children and fell in love as teenagers. We love many Colorado things like hiking and camping. In my free time I love to spend time with my family, bake, read, and sing.

“Michael was amazing during my labor! It was intense but she was very calm, helped myself and my support team, and had a ton of ideas to help me get through contractions. I was hoping to go unmedicated, around 5cm I got a bad migraine so I got an epidural and went to sleep. Michael was so helpful during the time I was laboring- she kept the focus on my labor (my mom and the nurses kept having random conversations that would get annoying and Michael would put a stop to that haha). I was just so impressed with the doula program and Rose. Thank you!”
