Colleen | Certified Postpartum Doula
"When a mother is supported, everything else can soften into place"
I am a postpartum doula who brings both professional training and deeply lived experience into the work I do with families. My passion for postpartum care was shaped through my own journey into motherhood — a journey that included time in the NICU and the experience of parenting a child with complex medical needs. Those early days profoundly changed me and gave me an intimate understanding of how vulnerable, overwhelming, and transformative the postpartum season can be.
Because of this, I approach every family with deep compassion, flexibility, and respect for their unique story. I support families with newborn care, emotional wellbeing, and practical, hands-on postpartum assistance, always meeting parents exactly where they are — without judgment, expectations, or pressure to do things a certain way. I believe there is no “one right way” to navigate postpartum, and my role is to walk alongside you with steadiness and care.
My work is grounded in empathy, inclusivity, and a genuine desire to create a calm, supportive space where parents feel truly seen and heard. Whether you are feeling confident, overwhelmed, joyful, uncertain — or all of the above — you are welcome exactly as you are. I strive to ensure that families feel informed, supported, and empowered as they settle into life with their new baby.
Above all, I believe every family deserves to feel deeply supported during this transition — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. It is an honour to hold space for families during such a tender season, and I am committed to providing care that is compassionate, affirming, and rooted in understanding.
