Welcome to Shooting Star Doula Services.

My name is Eileen and I am a Postpartum Doula, Lactation Counselor and a Perinatal Mental Health Advocate located in Tucson, Arizona.

Becoming a mother is a wonderful time of transition. New mothers deal with hormonal changes, milk production, healing from birth and sleep issues. I am here to help!

You may have questions about infant feeding, newborn characteristics and soothing the baby.  We can talk about this, and still focus on how YOU as the mother are doing.  My desire is to provide a safe place for the family to express joys, concerns and wishes about this transition.  I believe all families deserve the support of a doula, regardless of circumstance.

I have lived in Tucson for 40 years. I fell in love with the desert, the people, the cacti, the food and of course the weather.

I am happily married and have two incredible children. I love dogs, and currently care for a furry female. Our family loves to travel, and I do as often as possible.

Testimonials

Eileen helped our family when our second child was born in June 2022. She was professional and communicative. She prepared healthy meals for my healing body, gave our 3 year old (much needed) one on one attention, and helped with breastfeeding. Eileen was great in helping our family with out new addition. - H

Thank goodness for Eileen! She was exactly what we needed during a huge time of transition. When often people talk about coming to help (but meaning they want to hold the baby), Eileen did everything “else” so I was present to hold my baby. Her calm, confident, empathetic demeanor was a perfect fit for us. - E & D

Eileen helped our my son’s family with my new grandson. It was a big help to everyone. - M

A goal of a Postpartum Doula is to work herself out of a job. Let me support you, so you don’t need my support anymore.
