Leila was both our instructor for our birthing class and our birth doula. Both were tremendous experiences--I cannot imagine having gone through it without her.
She is truly an expert. She has a command of what the evidence says and the know-how to give credible advice and guidance when there isn't enough evidence. That paid incredible dividends in the birthing room. As the father, I did not have to worry about interfacing with the medical staff or giving suggestions to my wife. I had 100% confidence that was covered, so I could focus on just being present and supporting her emotionally on the journey. That was a remarkable gift. I didn't know how important it was until it happened.
Leila brings such a positive, warm, caring energy, in addition to all of her amazing technical expertise. From the pre-birth interviews to the postpartum period, she stayed connected to us and I don't think you could ask for a better doula.
