Reviews

“We feel so grateful to have had our journey with Leah. She was truly a ‘mother's helper’ — she applied all of her doula training to assist my family. I also implicitly trusted her (which is often not easy for a parent) because of her authentic compassion towards children. She truly is a blessing to any family.”
