Bio
Hi, I'm Colleen Andrade, co-owner of A Golden Birth & Postpartum. Being a certified postpartum doula and certified lactation educator, it has been my mission and passion for over the past 6 years, to support families as they prepare for and welcome their babies home. We provide tailored support and packages to fit your unique needs, creating a postpartum experience that promotes healing, bonding and confidence! Let's get started!
What drew you into working with parents-to-be?
After an amazing birth doula saw my natural ability to support families and suggested I become a postpartum doula, the rest is history. Also, recognizing the lack of support and education I had when welcoming my boys, it lit the passion in me to help other families create better outcomes and feel fully supported postpartum.
What are your certifications and trainings?
I am a certified postpartum doula and a certified lactation educator through CAPPA. I have taken additional training and workshops for bottle refusal, pumping and flange fitting, for NICU families and more. I am currently completing my NICU Doula certification course too which helps me to better serve this postpartum community.
How much experience do you have?
I have been working as a postpartum doulas for over 6 years. However my experience support children and their families spans back to when I started babysitting when I was 10 years old. I have always had a passion for supporting families and children.
What locations or areas do you serve?
I live in central Massachusetts and service that area and slightly beyond. We do have an amazing team of doulas from all across Massachusetts so we support families throughout the state!
