Testimonial for Leona Starnes

Leona was an important part of our birthing team. Being new to the birth experience, our sessions prior to labor were helpful as we prepared fully for the big day. Leona was supportive and accessible any time we needed her and provided many extra resources based on our conversations. Her communication was excellent and checked in regularly during the final weeks of pregnancy. On the day of our baby’s birth, our plan changed considerably due to medical complications. Leona was there every step of the way to support us and be an objective voice while we made many new decisions, in a different environment than we had originally imagined.  Leona also looked out for my birthing partner,  giving helpful suggestions, and reminders of essentials like eating during long labor. She made us feel more confident in our new plan and worked super well with our care team too. It was also helpful to debrief with her days after we came home from the hospital, and provided more resources for the postpartum phase. We felt very supported in every part of our journey and would gladly work with Leona in the future!
