The Hands That Hold You
Meet Colleen
Colleen Maheswaran
Birth Worker · Lactation Counselor · Soul Focus Healer · Doula Trainer
For more than 25 years, Colleen has walked beside women and families through pregnancy, birth and the tender weeks that follow. Her journey began in 2000, and since then she has supported thousands of families in homes, birth centers, hospitals and breastfeeding circles.
She blends deep, hands-on experience with an intuitive, compassionate presence. Colleen believes birth is one of life’s greatest gifts, and that when we heal ourselves and shift the way we see the world, caring for others becomes a natural extension of who we are.
She is the mother of two daughters, both born at home. You’ll find her renewing in nature, hiking, kayaking and camping across the mountains she calls home.
