Testimonial for Leah Heinz CD(DONA), PCD(DONA)
My husband and I wanted Leah to be our “constant” for the rest of the pregnancy. The energy, knowledge, comfort and understanding she brought to each in-person meeting and her availability for texts/calls was the most valuable part of our journey.
She was there to answer any question I had after my OB appts and any late night rabbit hole I would find myself in.
One huge benefit to having Leah as our doula was that she helped my labor start before my induction date. She knew I didn’t want to be induced and gave me every tip under the sun to get my baby moving. :)
When Leah showed up at the hospital, my husband and I breathed a sigh of relief knowing our ‘constant’ who we planned our ideal birth with was there. She kept me “jiggling”, my favorite calming technique, and helped us understand what was going on as our birth progressed. Leah’s guidance in my breathing helped me get in the zone and deliver our baby in record time. Thanks to Leah we have the most incredible pictures of my husband cutting the umbilical cord and our first family cuddles.
I remember our 1st pp visit like it was yesterday. We had a very rough 1st night home and Leah came over the following morning like a knight on a horse. She not only brought me an item that brings me joy but held our crying baby and put him instantly at peace. She’s a Baby Whisper!!! Leah was been instrumental in my 4th trimester recovery. She’s helped me heal, given advice on every subject under the moon and even helped me give our baby his first bath.
Leah became a quick member of the family and I still look forward to each visit! She will always be my go-to.
