👶 A Welcoming Start: Supporting Families in Colorado Springs
🤗 Discover the compassionate care that helps families embrace their new beginnings with joy. 💖
There's nothing quite like holding your breath as new life enters the world – that moment when time stands still and everything changes forever. Whether it's your own child, grandchild, or a dear friend's baby, bringing new life into this world is pure magic.
For Jolene Hamann, this magic became her calling. During her military service, compassionate midwives transformed her own birthing experience, planting a seed that would eventually bloom into Beginnings Birth Center in 2018. She recognized that families deserved more than sterile hospital rooms and rushed procedures – they deserved to feel empowered, heard, and cherished during life's most precious moments.
Step into Beginnings and you'll find something remarkable: spacious, spa-like suites where mothers can move freely, soak in custom waterbirth tubs (the only ones in Southern Colorado), and labor surrounded by those they love most. No restrictions on who can witness this miracle. No rushing. Just gentle, continuous support from certified nurse-midwives who treat each birth as the sacred event it truly is.
Lauren Silk, who leads marketing and outreach for the center, knows this firsthand – her youngest child was born at Beginnings. She personally creates a wonderful bridge, bringing both her professional expertise and personal experience to families considering this path. Her journey from doula to team member reflects the center's commitment to supporting families in every way possible.

The love doesn't end at delivery. Beginnings wraps families in care for weeks afterward – ensuring successful breastfeeding, healthy bonding, and confident transitions into parenthood. They even provide well-woman care, supporting mothers through every stage of life.
Your family deserves this kind of care. If someone you love is expecting, or if you're seeking compassionate women's health services, don't wait.
Call Beginnings Birth Center today at (719) 367-9405 or visit beginningsbirthcenter.com. Located at 9475 Briar Village Point, Suite 100, between Memorial Hospital North and the Promenade Shops. Because every birth story should be beautiful.
