NOCOS only freestanding Birth Center As an alternative to hospital birth, Tender Gifts Birth Center is Northern Colorado's first full-service, freestanding birth center. The atmosphere of our Colorado birth center will give you a caring, warm, and home-like environment where you are supported and respected as well as safe and secure. You will have a private room, bathroom & birthing tub for giving birth the way you choose: make yourself comfortable, wear the clothing you choose, eat when you feel hungry, move as you please and choose to labor in a birth tub or have a waterbirth. In addition to our birth center, we also provide homebirth midwifery care, women's health services, prenatal care, and doula training for the Northern Colorado community.

✨ Usher in the New Year with a Calling, Not Just a Career ✨

Have you felt the pull to serve women, babies, and families during life’s most sacred moments? 🌿
This February, step into that calling with Tender Gifts Doula Training—a unique, deeply rooted certification taught by a seasoned midwife who began her journey as a doula and spent years attending births at the bedside.
 
📅 February 7–8
đź“Ť In-person + Virtual options available
 
One training. Three certifications:
🤍 Birth Doula
🤍 Postpartum Doula
🤍 Sibling Doula
 
This training blends real-world experience, clinical wisdom, and heart-centered care. It’s more than theory—it’s mentorship, story, and hands-on insight from someone who has walked the path from doula to midwife and now teaches from lived experience.
Graduates will have opportunities for mentorship and birth experience in two locations across Colorado, guided by seasoned midwives and doulas who believe in relational, holistic care.
 
✨ New year. New skills. A profession grounded in service, trust, and presence.
If you’re ready to walk alongside women and families in meaningful ways—this is your invitation.

Althea Hrdlichka, CPM

As a mother of four, I found my enjoyment and satisfaction during pregnancy was truly dependent on the support I received. I have had four completely different birthing experiences. Some were fulfilling while others fell short. This is why I chose to dedicate my life's work to assist women during pregnancy and childbirth by becoming a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife).

​ I also keep a current certification in neonatal resuscitation and CPR. While homebirth is a mostly natural form of childbirth, I work closely with doctors, chiropractors and other medical providers to bring every element of care necessary to service all of my clients needs throughout their pregnancy and childbirth. I’ve worked with women through both natural and medicated births, and assisted with many successful VBAC’s in the hospital and at home.

I am passionate about providing supportive, gentle and loving care to all my clients so that they may experience the birth they deserve. I look forward to providing care and knowledge to you and your partner as well as a safe and satisfying pregnancy and birthing experience. I cannot wait to meet you and assist you through your journey to a wonderful and satisfying pregnancy and birth.
