Testimonial for Colleen Andrade (CPD, CLE)

When my husband and I first met Colleen, we were struck by her warmth, kind-heartedness, and love for her profession. Once I had my baby, we felt so lucky to have Colleen in our home to help us through our post-partum journey. It was one of the best decisions we could have made. My husband and I prepared as much as you can, but there are some obstacles you cannot prepare for. The birth of my son was the happiest time in my life. However, unbeknonst to Colleen, I was struggling with post partum depression. Navigating post-partum was ten-fold easier with her help. She truly is the baby whisperer. Colleen brings forth so much knowledge, experience, and passion. It makes the anxiety and newness of bringing a baby home a more calm, confidence-bulding experience. It allows you to fully embrace the new journey you're embarking on, soaking in all the tender newborn moments. Colleen is also extremely well-versed in breast feeding. She guided me through breast feeding my newborn when it felt extremely difficult and painful at times. She provided me with tips and tricks to ease the pain that I felt worked extremely well for my baby and I. I would also like to note that when my breast feeding journey came to an end, she assisted my family in navigating bottle feeding. With her help, we quickly identified the best bottle, feeding positions, and support I needed to properly feed my baby.

I cannot recommend Colleen enough. Outside of my husband and I, she is truly the only other person I trusted caring for my newborn when dealing with the newness and anxieties postpartum brought forth. We still communicate and share photo updates. It is like she is forever part of our family. We are forever grateful for her and hope to have her again when baby number 2 comes along in the future!
