Formally practicing as a doula since 2016, Leah understands that birth is a natural phenomenon experienced in our own unique way, and the postpartum time is a space that invites intentional pause and mindful care to learn about ourselves, our babies and new reality.
As a mother of two small people, Leah has lived the value and vulnerability of this rite of passage into and through the early years of parenthood, and has great awareness of the challenges and joys balancing Self, family, and professional life for well-being. She intends to bring tailored, non-judgmental and evidence-based support, resourcing the inner experience during this special time of transition.
