Testimonial for Leona Starnes
Leona was our doula for the birth of our first child. From our first initial meeting through labor, birth and postpartum, she was supportive, calm and comforting. Leona was an invaluable presence and resource for our family.
Leona provided prenatal education and support in the form of multiple in person meetings at our home. She prompted us with thought provoking questions about what we wanted and hoped birth would look like, and gave suggestions to help us prepare.
She calmly provided support in our home while I labored and gave my husband a much deserved break. It took the pressure off of my husband to know that the two of them could tag team supporting me. After laboring at home, Leona knew when the time was right to drive to the birth location.
We had taken a birth class and generally had an idea of what we were supposed to do but Leona's experience was essential. She gave multiple suggestions, encouragement and guidance through the entire birth. She also reminded us to eat and stay hydrated.
Leona provided a postpartum support through quick text check ins as well as a home visit.
We are so thankful for her support and would absolutely hire Leona again!
