I have been a doula for a little over two years. I assist moms during labor and delivery, providing, informational, physical and emotional support. I will meet with you before the birth of your baby at least once, stay with you through the duration of your labor and delivery and up to two hours after birth. Meeting with you once more in your home after the birth of your baby you will have the chance to discuss your birth experience. As a doula I am committed to supporting women in their choices for childbirth, helping them grow in confidence during their pregnancy and labor, and when bringing baby home. My goal is to listen to families and show respect for their culture, ideas and customs.
I am a mother of three girls and one on the way. My experience working with doulas was a different but wonderful experience. Leslie was the doula of my last born child and I will be working with her this time as well. I had more control, I was more relaxed, and comfortable when I worked with leslie. I felt the support! She is what made my birth the success it turned out to be, and I am happy to be working with her again soon. I would recommend using doulas to anyone, they are wonderful!!!
On August 31, 2009 at 3:38am, i delivered my baby girl. Leslie was there to comfort and support me in every way possible. From rubbing my feet to playing with my hair, she made sure my needs were met. Nine months prior, when i found out i was pregnant, she informed me of her practice and from then on i spoke with her almost every day. If i needed someone just to talk to she was the one or if i had a question and she didnt exactly know the answer, she waould stay on ythe phone while finding other references to answer my questions. im the baby of the family and i knew i would need this type of attention during my pregnancy and labor and she was definatley the one for the job. she also worked with the babys father and the rest of the family in amazing ways i never thought possible. once llabor really kicked in though i wanted to be left alone and as i wished she stayed by my side giving me my space helping me when being asked to do so and making suggestions. my birthing exp[erience was the most amazing experience of my life. i couldnt have done it with out her knowledge, carefullness, and determination.
