My husband and I took a childbirth education course with Colleen as we are expecting our first child this month. Colleen’s course provided us with a plethora of information about the stages of labor, coping mechanisms during labor, postpartum, and more! What we enjoyed most about the course was how Colleen paired the information with her extensive experiences as a doula. She was able to provide context to many of the topics that were covered in the course. We also really enjoyed how she involved all participants, specifically the birth partners, by sharing tips for supporting a laboring person before, during and, after birth. Colleen is a wealth of knowledge and we highly recommend working with her to best prepare yourself for a healthy pregnancy birth and beyond!
