Guest Bio:
Colette has been a labor and delivery nurse for over 7 years, traveling throughout the west coast, and is a certified OB clinical specialist in high risk deliveries. Educating new parents at the bedside was always the favorite part of the job and needed to be done so much sooner, so she joined the tribe of birth educators and began birth coaching with My Friend's a Nurse. She’s a mother of two daughters, 20 years apart with two very different birth stories!
