Testimonial for Leah Kohlstrom, CBD, CCBE. CLC
My husband and I chose Leah to be our doula for the birth of our second baby because of her warmth, professionalism, and tremendous depth and breadth of knowledge and experience - as a childbirth educator, a local doula, and a mother herself. We also live in the same town and felt reassured knowing she would be near us and near our hospital. She is very well acquainted with the PenBay Medical Center procedures and staff, and has a great rapport with them; that was a huge plus, since we were new to the Midcoast area and new to PenBay. It was important to me to try to have a vaginal birth with as few medical interventions as possible. Leah is incredibly well organized, approaches her job seriously and with a big, open heart, and I always felt like I could reach her any time I needed; she's a responsive and proactive communicator, checking in regularly and offering her support. She was amazing during my labor - quietly strong, steady, reassuring, and calm. I felt connected to her and grateful for her support, experience, and encouragement both during labor and in the fragile postpartum hours, days, and weeks! Thank you, Leah!
