Bio
Born and
raised in Vermont, Dr. Colacchio originally fell in love with Virginia while pursuing a degree in biology at James Madison University.
After several moves throughout her medical training, her family recently settled
in the Virginia Beach area.
Dr. Colacchio was drawn

infants, and wanted to help families during this stressful time in their
lives.
