Colleen was the best postpartum doula I could have ever imagined having. The help and support she provided during my postpartum period were invaluable and far exceeded any expectation that I had. Colleen quickly became one of the most, if not THE most important person in my "village". I would immediately feel a sense of relief when I would see her car pull up. Colleen is great to work with, she is very communicative, reliable, caring and has the best way of offering advice and support but without ever being intrusive. As a first time mom, she helped me feel a lot less overwhelmed during what is an extremely challenging time. I had orginally planned to only have a doula for 4-6 week but ended up working with Colleen for 12 weeks because of how incredibly helpful and supportive she was. She provided so much help from all aspects of newborn care like feeding, changing diapers, baby's bath, cutting baby's nails, how to dress and swaddle baby, tummy time, to breastfeeding and lactation support, laundry, organizing the nursery and always making sure I was fed and hydrated. It is so apparent how much Colleen cares about the family she is working with and most importantly, how much she cares for my son and how much he adores her in return.
