As an expecting mom, Colleen has been with me every step of the way. She is very attentive to my concerns and personalize my care to fit my needs. Being a high risk mom she goes above and beyond to make sure I am knowledgeable about my condition and helps me make informed decisions for my birth plan. She is very straight forward, and gives the most accurate advice with her line of expertise. I am truly grateful that I have her as my Doula. She is always a phone call, text or email away. So if you are looking for a caring, hands on Doula, Collen is the best option for you. You wont be disappointed.
