Testimonial for Lea Coats
Lea is a personal friend of mine and has been a blessing in my life since I met her; she's been an earth angel in so many ways to me and my husband in early 2025, my husband and I lost a pregnancy, and Lea was the one person who showed up for me during that time of loss and heartbreak. When I found out I was pregnant again 9 months ago, she was one of the first people I felt eager to tell the good news to. She has been so helpful throughout my entire pregnancy, giving my husband and me her time and love selflessly. On day 3 past my due date, I started having contractions; Lea came to my home and monitored me and the baby. She gave me stretches and positions that helped move the baby and prepare me for labor, and she rode with me to the hospital, where we found out I was dilated to 8 centimeters. I believed I was maybe 3 centimeters; I was honestly taken aback by that. Because I suffer from a lot of anxiety, but when Lea is in the room, that anxiety vanishes. I believe her spirit and presence helped me remain calm during my contractions. When we arrived at the birthing center, my choice for birth, she helped me manage contractions, gave me breathing techniques and reminders, helped me manage my anxiety, made me tea, prayed with me, and remained by my side for the entire 6 hours of labor before our baby girl made her grand appearance. Lea went out of her way to make my birthing experience so special and calm. Lea is so compassionate and has so much love to offer mothers and fathers too! I strongly believe being a doula is not only her passion but her calling. She is a true blessing to know. Thank you so much, Lea, for the big, important role you took on and for making my birthing experience so special and memorable. We love and cherish you, so much!??
