Colleen Welsh is the owner and chef of Coll the Doula. She has been cooking privately as a postpartum chef since 2023, and is now offering a meal delivery service. Her kitchen is located at the Culinary Collective in Philadelphia, and she delivers locally. Offering a set menu of frozen items allows for easier access and a lower cost barrier to nourishing food for more clients.

Colleen still offers bespoke menus and custom packages as well (made in her kitchen space and delivered). Please inquire for more info!

Colleen is a Philly-based full spectrum doula and ServSafe certified postpartum chef. Cooking has always been Coll’s strongest love language. She takes pride in her intuitive ability to sense people’s needs and is deeply committed to creating a comfortable and collaborative environment for care.

Coll the Doula meets her clients where they are, approaching her work with an open mind and heart. She understands firsthand how easily planning and preparing nutritious meals can fall by the wayside when time and energy are limited. She is keenly aware of the unique nutritional needs of the postpartum body, which often require more care, grace, and calories than commonly accounted for.

As a queer, plus-size, and neurodiverse doula, Colleen is proud to offer inclusive and expansive care informed by her own lived experiences. Her practice is evidence-based, non-judgmental, and rooted in compassion.
