Our Team

Colleen is a Certified Professional Midwife, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Childbirth Educator who has spent the past twenty years supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. As a mother of two girls and wife to one incredibly supportive husband, Colleen understands firsthand how transformative the journey into parenthood can be.

Throughout her career, Colleen has assisted at more than a thousand births and guided thousands of families through childbirth education and postpartum care. Her experience spans a variety of settings — from homebirths and birth centers to hospitals and community programs. She has served as a midwife, lactation counselor, and early intervention specialist, providing compassionate care to families of all backgrounds.

During her time with Healthy Start, Colleen received extensive training in postpartum depression and anxiety, car seat safety, SIDS prevention, developmental milestones, and more. She also holds certifications in Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP), Birth Emergency Skills Training (BEST), and infant/adult CPR.
When she’s not supporting families, Colleen loves spending time outdoors with her daughters — hiking, camping, and running. She also enjoys meditation, gardening, and finding creative ways to turn kitchen waste into rich, nourishing soil for her plants
