There are not enough good things I can say about my experience with Leona! I met Leona through my birth center, Health Foundations, and hiring her as my doula was one of the best decisions of my pregnancy. Our first meeting with Leona was for coffee, and after speaking with her for 20 minutes my husband and I hired her on the spot! We met with Leona two more times before my birth and she was so prepared, coming with literature for me to read, exercises for me to do, and also a wealth of knowledge for any questions I may have had. The relationship that we built before my baby arrived was invaluable, I trusted her and I felt safe with her, and as a first time mom that was so important to me! My husband and I agreed that Leona was the reason that I was able to progress so fast at home after my labor seemed to be stalling. She knew exactly what to do to get my contractions to come hard and fast and after about 3 hours we were ready to go to Health Foundations so I could have the water birth that I wanted! My birth experience was everything that I had wanted and I am so thankful that I had Leona there by my side. She was so amazing and I would hire her again for all of my babies to come! Thank you so much Leona, you will always be like family to us!
