Testimonial for Leigh McBride, CD(DONA)

We hired Leigh for our first child due in September, 2020. As first time parents we really appreciated her foresight and confidence. She's a great listener and her suggestions were always empathetic to our wants and needs. She taught us several ways to manage contractions and labor pains, and guided us through writing a birth plan. Leigh helped us understand various options when it came to a birth plan, and how our preferences fit in with them. When the big day came we felt prepared, even when we had not taken any child birth classes.

Leigh was a great advocate for us at the hospital. Leigh helped prepare a bath with lavender oil and faerie lights. The bath helped a lot with labor pains, and it helped mom have an unmedicated delivery that she had hoped for. Leigh helped mom find the right position for delivery and coached by counting out loud. We were overwhelmed by the moment, so we really appreciated her direction, positivity, focus, and support for us.

Leigh also made sure that dad felt involved throughout the process. She found labor positions and excercises for us that involve a helper, and even found ways for him to help during delivery, such as holding moms leg while pushing.

We had an overwhelmingly positive experience becoming new parents with Leigh as our Doula. We will recommend her to any of our friends that are seeking help, and would love to have her as our doula again.
