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!
