My husband and I loved having Colleen as our doula. This was my first pregnancy and I was very anxious and scared about giving birth. We decided to hire a doula to help ease my anxiety and to give us extra support. Colleen was warm and answered all of my many questions. She never made me feel stupid for asking so many questions or for being nervous. She sent me many helpful articles to read about pregnancy and childbirth. When I finally went into labor, Colleen was there very soon after my husband called her and stayed until after the baby was born. My labor was long and difficult. She was a huge support to not only me but also my husband. My husband told me after that he was getting scared because of the complications but Colleen knew he was silently freaking out and calmed his nerves. She comforted me when my birthplan didn't go the way I wanted it to and when complications started to occur. She knew what questions to ask the medical staff and advised me on other choices that needed to be made. She never got in the way of the nurses or OB and never pushed her opinions on me. I felt completely comfortable and trusted her 100% that she had my best interest at heart. I honestly couldn't imagine having gone through all of that without Colleen there. I can't recommend her enough.
