Colorado Birth Collective

What Colorado Birth Collective does

Colorado Birth Collective is a privately held, membership-based community organization founded in 2022 in Grand Junction, Colorado, that connects expectant and new families with a curated network of independent birth professionals, including midwives, doulas, lactation consultants (IBCLCs), childbirth educators, pelvic floor physical therapists, maternal mental health counselors, prenatal yoga instructors, nutritionists, homeopaths, birth photographers, and ultrasound providers. The collective operates a physical community wellness center branded "The Womb" at 600 Rood Ave Suite 201 in Grand Junction and maintains a second branch in the Delta/Montrose region of Western Slope Colorado, managed by Jodi Hyatt, RN-BSN, IBCLC. Its technology footprint is minimal: a Wix-hosted website serves as a directory, e-commerce storefront for bookings and product purchases, and content/blog ("The Journal") channel, with no app, no API, and no disclosed integrations.

The business is monetized through a mix of recurring membership dues, transactional space and equipment rentals, and event/class revenue shares. Members pay $100 per year for access to The Womb with up to four classes per month, non-members pay $300 per year, and non-profits access the space at $0 per year. Members hosting events contribute 5% of class earnings; non-profits contribute 10%. Beyond memberships, the collective sells Eco Birth Pool rentals ($100 for a 4-week period), Bump & Bliss Pregnancy Boxes ($50), and a $40/month vendor slot in the Motherhood Wellness Space with a 3-month trial. Marketing is community-led, relying on organic Facebook (COBirthCollectiveGJ) and Instagram (gjbirthcollective_co) channels, content marketing via The Journal blog, and recurring events such as the Prenatal Yoga Series, Mama's Corner weekly playdates, and a monthly Breastfeeding Support Group co-hosted with Community Hospital.

The go-to-market motion is fundamentally a hybrid local directory plus venue operator: families discover providers through the collective's website and social channels, while providers pay membership dues and revenue shares to access the space and the referral network. Leadership is centered on owner/founder Alaina Marquez, supported by a small leadership team of approximately six practitioners and branch manager Jodi Hyatt. The organization has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no patents, no regulatory certifications, and no enterprise customers — it operates as a bootstrapped micro-business (1-10 employees) serving a single regional market in Western Slope Colorado.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• BabyCenter: Large-scale pregnancy and parenting resource platform with provider directories, educational content, and community forums. Comparable at the consumer-resource level of birth professional discovery, though at a massive national scale.
• The Bump: National pregnancy and parenting media brand with provider directories and editorial content. Comparable as a consumer-facing discovery and resource platform for birth services, though operating at national scale.
• CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association): Membership-based professional organization training and certifying childbirth educators, lactation educators, and postpartum doulas. Comparable as a birth-professional membership organization with educational and community functions.
• DONA International: The largest doula certification body, also providing a public directory of certified doulas. Comparable as a membership-based professional organization in the birth-services space, though at a national scale.

Emerging players

• Birthify: Online platform connecting expectant families with doulas, midwives, and lactation consultants. Comparable as a digital marketplace for the same provider categories that Colorado Birth Collective aggregates, though without a local physical venue.
• Peanut: Social networking app for women, including a strong focus on pregnancy, motherhood, and connections with maternal-health providers. Comparable as a digital community connecting mothers with birth and postpartum support.
• Be Her Village: Online registry and resource platform helping expectant families find and fund doulas, midwives, and postpartum support. Comparable in curating birth professionals and educating consumers, though technology-mediated rather than community-organized.

Direct peers

• The Motherhood Center: NYC-based wellness center offering prenatal/postnatal classes, lactation support, mental health, and a network of birth professionals. Directly comparable to Colorado Birth Collective's collective-plus-wellness-center model.
• Mama Glow: Doula training and network organization that connects families with maternal-health professionals and offers childbirth education. Comparable as a community-organized birth-professional network with both practitioner and consumer sides.

Regional players

• San Diego Birth Network: Regional collective-style organization connecting families with birth professionals in the San Diego area. Almost a direct parallel model to Colorado Birth Collective — community-based, locally scoped, multi-provider directory — but operating in a different geography.
