I do not attend freebirths. I am currently in my third year of a homebirth midwifery program, but as a doula I attend births everywhere.

I am part of PALS which is a volunteer doula service, meaning I volunteer and provide doula services pro bono for families who otherwise might not be able to get a doula!
At Leyre’s Birth Haven, I offer comprehensive birth support tailored to your unique journey. My services include prenatal visits to prepare you and your partner for labor, continuous emotional and physical support throughout birth, and postpartum care to help you rest, recover, and adjust confidently to life with your new baby. I provide evidence-based education, comfort measures such as breathing techniques, relaxation, and positioning, and compassionate guidance so you feel supported, informed, and empowered every step of the way. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth center, or home birth, my goal is to create a calm and nurturing space where you can feel safe, seen, and fully present in your birthing experience. I offer a sliding scale as well if needed.

We are first time parents and had a high risk pregnancy and knew we wanted a doula for support and found Leyre after searching for one with bilingual capabilities. Leyre was professional, knowledgeable, and personable from first contact. We knew immediately that we wanted to work with her. She went through the process with us step by step- we even took a childbirth class after meeting with her that we found we didn’t need because she had been so thorough. Every question we asked was met with an extremely well-informed response. At the hospital she brought a sense of calm and relaxation and really supported our birth plan until the end (which wound up in an unplanned c section due to a face-presenting baby). She flew into action to ensure our birth plan was adhered to and worked extremely well with our nurses and midwives. Her communication from start to finish, including post partum has been top notch. She made us feel empowered and comforted through the whole process. If you choose to work with Leyre, rest assured you will be in great hands- we cannot recommend her enough!

I was fortunate to have Leyre by my side during my pregnancy and birth, and honestly, I don’t have enough words to thank her. Her presence was a true gift... warm, respectful, empathetic, and deeply committed.
I always felt heard and supported in every decision. During labor, her calm energy and strength were exactly what I needed to stay centered. She helped me trust my body, the process, and myself.
If you’re looking for someone to accompany you with love, knowledge, and complete respect for your choices, Leyre is that person. She wasn’t just a wonderful doula, she was an essential part of one of the hardest and most important moments of my life.??

I had the pleasure of having Leyre as my doula for my eighth birth, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Even though this was her first time in the role, she was truly exceptional. From the beginning, Leyre showed dedication, warmth, and attentiveness. She made me feel incredibly supported throughout the entire process, even as a more experienced mom. Her calm, reassuring presence was exactly what I needed, and she always knew just the right thing to say or do to keep me calm.
What stood out to me was her natural ability to listen and anticipate what I needed, despite this being her first birth as a doula. Her passion for helping others through the journey of childbirth was clear, and I felt completely comfortable in her care. I’m grateful to have had her by my side, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and supportive doula. She was truly wonderful!
