Postpartum, Newborn, Feeding, Mental Health, and Pediatric Sleep Specialist Serving Tucson, Arizona and surrounding areas.
The first couple months after birth are a time of healing, adjustment, and learning. If you’ve ever wondered,
“Are we prepared to do this?
“Am I doing this right?”
“Will I instinctively know what to do?”
”How am I supposed to know what I don’t know?”
You are not alone. You deserve care, validation, and support just as much as your baby does. This season isn’t about perfection; it’s about connection, recovery, and finding what feels right for your family. Your baby’s needs and your needs are intertwined. Supporting both is not only important. It’s essential. With encouragement, evidence-based guidance, and hands-on support, you won’t have to navigate this season alone.
### Colleen Laszakovits
Tucson’s Most Experienced Postpartum Doula
For more than 26 years, I’ve supported families through one of the most vulnerable and beautiful seasons of life. As a postpartum RN, certified doula, lactation educator, pediatric sleep consultant, NICU-trained doula, and perinatal mental health professional, I bring both clinical expertise and compassionate care to every family I serve.
My approach is personalized, evidence-based, and judgment-free. I listen deeply, honor your values, and provide practical guidance to help you navigate feeding, sleep, emotional wellbeing, and the early transition into parenthood with confidence.
Families choose me for my unique blend of medical knowledge, hands-on newborn care, and calm, nurturing presence. My role is to be a steady, trusted guide—supporting your healing, your mental health, and your family’s foundation during the fourth trimester.

I want to blast the internet with this review because Colleen absolutely saved us. We have lots of family & friend support but nothing compares to what Colleen offers. Wow – she is a real life, hands-on encyclopedia for all things newborn, baby, feeding, sleeping, postpartum, etc. Just knowing she was a text or phone call away during the early weeks of a new baby was priceless. Do not hesitate, book her as soon as you know you’re pregnant!
