Looking back on the birth of our daughter, I don't know how I could have managed all the levels of labor without Colleen. She was a great teacher, coach, and energy spirit from the weeks leading up to the birth and weeks after. She is involved on a deeper level then most doulas and offers services beyond just showing up for the birth. From suggesting a hypnobirthing class to placenta encapsulation, I really felt taken care of by Colleen and trusted her knowledge. I am forever grateful for the empowerment I felt during my birth experience even with options were taken away from me. We are so thankful that she is a part of our birth story. Even at the very end I asked my husband to hand his phone over to her to capture the actual moment of birth so that I could see it later from another perspective. She knew just what to include, I love the images so much! They are so meaningful to me as a photographer myself. I will reccommend her to anyone I know giving birth in Connecticut.
