I cannot recommend Lesli enough!

 
Using a doula as a first time mom was one of the best decisions I could have made for my birth experience. 


Lesli was supportive, warm, and knowledgeable throughout the end of my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. 


She was very communicative and helped answer lots of questions and get us information we asked for. She made herself available to us 24/7. 
She provided a pregnancy in-home visit to discuss our birth plan and just get to know us better. 
We felt like she genuinely listened to us and had my best interests at heart. 


During labor, she provided gentle guidance, position suggestions, comfort, and helped my wife and I advocate for our birth plan. 
She also did a great job supporting my wife and making sure she felt involved during the labor process. 


Lesli truly made my birth experience unforgettable and beautiful. We will be using Lesli as our doula going forward and will suggest her to all our expecting friends and family! 


Pick Lesli if you want a supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate doula to stand by your side for your birth experience!

My experience with Leslie was truly a God send. From being told unexpectedly I would experience a C Section at 39 weeks, to thinking I had lost some semblance of normalcy of what I thought my birthing experience would be she was there. She came to the hospital to be with me when Drs thought I became pre eclampsic due to said news , we talked through how to protect my birth plan as much as possible and advocating for care moving forward. 
I felt like I was dumped in the deep end and Leslie helped collect myself before my daughter was born. At the hospital I delivered at I was actually able to have access to my doula ( something I believed was lost since c section ) throughout pre op and actual delivery. She offered  peace of mind and a strong anchor for my husband and I as we welcomed our sweet baby girl into the world. I'm forever thankful for my experience.

As a first-time father, having Leslie by our side made the entire experience smoother, calmer, and honestly, better than I ever expected. She thought ahead about all the little things we’d need, what we’d go through, and what we should consider as new parents. Her preparation and guidance took a huge weight off my shoulders.

 


Before, during, and after the birth, Leslie was always there for us. On the day our son was born, she was incredible. She made sure we had everything we needed, handled the details, and allowed me to stay focused on my wife and the moment. She never took away from our experience—she only added to it. She stepped in when we needed her, and stayed present and supportive the whole time.

 


Thanks to Leslie, I didn’t have to worry about anything except being by my wife’s side. She made a stressful day feel manageable and even special. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula, and I’d recommend her to any expecting parents without hesitation.

We are so deeply grateful for the incredible support Lesli provided during the birth of our son. From the very beginning, she helped us prepare for the kind of birth experience we hoped for—empowering us with knowledge, confidence, and compassion every step of the way.

During labor, her calm, steady presence made all the difference. She guided us through each moment with reassurance and expertise, helping us navigate decisions and stay grounded through the intensity of the process. What stood out most was how thoughtfully she accommodated us as individuals—she truly listened, respected our preferences, and created a space that felt safe, supported, and full of care.

We can’t imagine having gone through this journey without her. She was not only a skilled professional but also a genuinely kind and nurturing person. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a doula who brings both heart and wisdom to the birth experience.

Lesli was an absolute godsend during my labor! I went 19 hours un-medicated and she was there every step of the way. I honestly don't believe I could've made it without her help. She kept me present, she helped relieve my pain when it became too overwhelming, she set up the perfect environment, was the cheerleader I didn't know I needed, And was my best advocate when I couldn't think straight. 

Because of her knowledge and her wonderful demeanor, she was able to teach me and my sister so much during the delivery. She kept us both calm and entertained, and helped make the whole process so much more beautiful and memorable. I will forever be thankful for her and if I choose to have another baby, she will be the first to know!

Lesli is always available to answer questions and has the most helpful and compassionate answers. She truly cares about your birth experience and loves to help educate and empower you. Lesli is the kindest person and soul who will help you reach your goals and be there to advocate for you throughout your birth journey. I am so thankful for her assistance during my pregnancy and I recommend her to all of my friends!

As a first time mom, I can’t recommend having a doula enough, and I’m so thankful I had Lesli as mine. Her knowledge and experience as a mother of 5 with 2 grandchildren, made me feel confident in my ability to have a natural home birth. She was amazing and made me feel amazing!

Lesli had a peaceful presence to her and she helped me laugh through the process, which was important to me.

Before delivery, she helped me feel confident in myself and my birth plan. During delivery, she brought a sense of calmness and strength. When I was starting to feel like I couldn’t do it anymore, I remember making eye contact with her and getting the strength I needed. And Lesli normalized all my postpartum feelings and concerns. She was so relaxed that it helped me feel relaxed as a first time mom.

My breastfeeding journey went smoothly, and I truly believe it was because of Lesli’s knowledge and presence. She asked me what my goal was and supported me to it.

All in all, I am so thankful that I had Lesli by my side and that she is a part of my birth story!

Lesli was the exact person I needed on my team for labor and delivery. Her shared knowledge helped prepare me for the birth experience before getting to delivery day. When it was go-time, she was there to help me stay as comfortable as possible at home before heading to the hospital, where she continued supporting and advocating for me throughout the entire process. I got the exact birth experience I wanted because she was there. Thank you, Lesli!

As a mother who experienced her first birth with no doula but her second birth with a doula I can testify to how amazing having a doula by one's side can be. And I am so glad that doula specifically was Lesli. Not only was Lesli supportive throughout the labor and delivery portion but she was also there for me while I was pregnant to answer any questions I had. Lesli then went beyond my expectations when she continued to show support and guidance even after everything was done, to simply check on me and my mental health. Working with Lesli was so beneficial in every way and of course, mostly in the delivery room. It was truly a relief knowing that she was by my side to guide me and support me during such an intense event such as delivering a baby.
