Colleen loves being a Doula, and feels that each birth she
experiences teaches her something new about herself, and the women she
serves. She shares a keen interest in breastfeeding support and
advocacy. In November of 2000, she will obtain certification as a
HypnoBirthing Instructor. Working with her mom, Jill Hillman, CD,
together, they founded their own Doula practice in Tucson called A
Labor of Love.
Colleen believes that pregnancy is a precious time in a
woman's life, and that supporting a woman during the physical and
emotional journey of labor and birth, helps the woman to capture the
memory of her child's birth in a positive light that she can look back
upon fondly, forever.

moms. Personally, I have an eight year old son that was born by
Caesarian Section, and a 3 1/2 yr old daughter who was a high risk
pregnancy, and was delivered VBAC by a midwife in a very long delivery.
I have experienced many births in various settings, and have dealt with
women with all kinds of personal issues and agendas for their births. I
support the mom in all her choices, and work with them to be informed
and make educated choices for themselves.

prenatalmusic@yahoo.com
Created the Center for Prenatal and Perinatal Music,
in order to empower and support women in their
intrinsic ability to give birth naturally. The
sessions, experiential in nature, are designed to
promote the link between body, heart, mind, soul and
spirit through music, movement, color and poetry.
The aim is a natural
and conscious birth
experience for mother and child. Investing time and
energy in exploring this life changing and creative
process will make a difference in the outcome. Our
approach is flexible and designed to meet the needs of
mothers and couples so that they can approach this
important passage of life with confidence and harmony.
Our mission is to help women bring into the world
babies that are nurtured with love from the moment of
conception and to experience birth as a celebration of
life.
Sound Doula Support offers parents, who have
participated in the Childbirth Assisted Music Therapy
program, an opportunity to continue receiving the
support of the birthing music they have chosen into
the delivery setting of their choice. It is a natural
transition that relieves fathers from
the
responsibility of being monitors for music, as well as
being a labor partner and coach.
For those who did not participate in the program we
provide a unique opportunity to incorporate some of
the ideas we offer into their birth plan and birthing
experience. Sound Doula Support incorporates music
and sound into the comforting techniques that are
unique to the doula training.
I serve the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley area
in California.

Longmont,
Boulder, Loveland, Ft. Collins, Co.
The services I provide are as a labor assistant/Doula.
I am a certified Doula with DONA and have been providing Doula care for
the past four years. I am also a certified Childbirth Educator
with Lamaze International and have been teaching classes for the last
three and a half years. Most importantly I am a mother of two
beautiful children, who has experienced childbirth and can empathize
with the laboring womans anticipation mixed with anxiety and fear of
the unknown or possibly fear of repeating a less than enjoyable birth
experience. I primarily service the Front Range area of Colorado
(Longmont, Boulder, Loveland, Ft. Collins). I truly believe birth
is a miraculous event that empowers a woman to trust in herself and
believe in her own body's ability to birth. I act as an advocate
to the laboring woman and her partner and in no way take over the role
her primary coach plays in the birth experience. I like to get to
know the women I work with early on in their pregnancy so we have the
opportunity to build a relationship prior to the birth. However,
this is an ideal situation, and I do work with women who have
contracted with me closer to the birth. I attend third trimester
pre-natal visits, provide continuous emotional, physical and
educational support throughout the birth and in the early postpartum
period and assist with latch-on and positioning of breastfeeding
mothers. I also do a postpartum visit 7-14 days after the birth
to reassess the labor experience and to be available for questions
regarding newborn care, breast/bottle feeding, maternal postpartum
concerns, etc. I welcome anyone considering Doula support to call
or e-mail me with their questions and I would be more than happy to
conduct a phone interview prior to meeting in person.

I am a birth Doula
with certification to be completed with DONA in mid 2001. I have
been assisting women with the birth of their children for over ten
years. I have a particular place in heart for young mothers
and those women associated with the military whether they are a spouse
of an active duty member or are on active duty themselves. I
believe that the birth process is a totally natural and spiritual
experience and that the mother should chose how they would like to give
birth. I will support the choices a mother has made to give birth.
I live in the Colorado Springs area and will travel to meet
the mother's needs.

I am a labor doula
dedicated to serving South Palm Beach and North Broward Counties.
I am a member of DONA and CAPPA and am currently working towards
certification with both organizations. I believe in the ability
of women to birth naturally but also respect the womans choice to birth
as *she* chooses, be that what it may. I feel that the experience
should be one of empowerment as a woman and reflected upon as a
positive experience. Please see my website for detailed
information about the services I provide. Knowledge is power and
all birthing mothers should know what their choices are enabling them
to make informed decisions concerning their birth. If you are
considering a doula, please contact me. I would be happy to
answer any question or concerns you may have concerning having a doula
attend your birth.
