Doula Collaborative of Maine is a collective of independent birth and postpartum doulas, not a single practitioner. Members share backup and a common philosophy that birth is a healthy process best supported by knowledgeable, compassionate companions, and together they also offer lactation support and childbirth education. No single lead is identified on the site. Member doula Sunshine (Sue) Jelly is a DONA-trained birth and postpartum doula and massage therapist who has attended births at Maine Medical Center, Mercy Hospital, Mid Coast Hospital, and in the community.
