Meet The Golden Postpartum Doulas and Lactation Educators

We are dedicated doulas throughout Massachusetts working in conjunction with one another to support growing families on their prenatal journey and beyond. We energize each other with our joy and passion as we walk alongside you.

Colleen is a passionate postpartum doula & lactacation educator and the co-owner of A Golden Birth and Postpartum. Expanding to build a team of like-minded, deciated postpartum doulas, has allowed us to provide tailored support to so many families!

Learn more about myself and the amazing team when you click on our photos! We cannot wait to meet you and help you achieve the postpartum experience you desire!

Our team includes doulas from various locations and all ranges of experience.

In the golden doula collective you have your primary doula, and have a whole team behind you too! The benefits of a doula collective include shared expertise, continuous support, and a sense of community for both doulas and families. Additionally it can provide back up support with an already trusted doula providing clients with someone to rely on (dependent on availablity).

Please reach out when you are ready to speak with a doula. You can find out more about our various packages below and start talking to the doula who is right for you!

POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES WITH EMILY

"Laura was so wonderful, calm, friendly and helpful. She shared a lot of knowledge, including things we never thought of before. She makes sure we get plenty of rest and sleep while attending to the baby. We are so lucky and grateful to have her with us!!"

POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES WITH LAURA

"From the moment she entered our lives, Colleen became an essential pillar of our family. Her knowledge, expertise, and calming presence were a guiding light during the often chaotic first weeks after Haley's birth. Colleen equipped us with the tools to care for Haley with confidence and compassion. Her guidance was always timely, practical, and seemed to anticipate our needs before we could even articulate them ourselves."

POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES WITH COLLEEN

"Heather was a lifesaver for us, two new parents who were completely unprepared to understand the needs of our daughter. While she has the uncanny ability to understand the needs of babies, Heather was able to teach us enough that we were able to establish healthy sleep patters during the day, and the nights she was not with us."
