Testimonial for Leona Starnes
Hiring Leona was the single best decision we made in preparation for our daughter's birth. Having a baby in the midst of a pandemic meant that lots of the typical support just didn't exist, so having her as a doula provided education, resources, and interaction I would have otherwise had to do without. She helped facilitate conversations with my partner about what we wanted and expected before/during/after birth. She offered lots of information and perspective to make the best choices for our situation but was never prescriptive or judgemental. Once we got close to the due date she stayed in touch and offered helpful suggestions and when early labor stalled found a great acupuncturist who was willing to get me in at short notice. At the hospital her support was invaluable to me and my partner. She helped keep me breathing, hydrated, and focused. Without her I think things would have gone very differently. In the end I feel like I was safe, supported, and able to stay present. I now suggest hiring a doula to anyone who will listen and happy recommend Leona!
