Hey there Momma! I’m Leslie and I would like to congratulate you and your partner on your new addition. There are so many emotions and questions that arise once you get the news that your family is expanding. Not to worry I am here to help!

My decision to become a birthing doula started with my own pregnancy which was high risk at the beginning due to a sub chorionic hematoma. I was already quite nervous and felt alone in my fears as doctors offered me very little emotional support during such a delicate time. I was also frustrated by the exorbitant amount of content on the internet/media/big & small screen that was designed to scare women into having negative beliefs about the birthing process.

Determined to remain calm I started to look into resources to help calm myself down, trust in my power as a woman to bring life into the world, and made changes in who I decided would help birth my baby to ensure that I had better peace of mind when the time came. This experience fueled a desire within me to support other women during this special time in their lives, so that they did not have to feel the helplessness I felt during my pregnancy.
