Testimonial for Leah Heinz CD(DONA), PCD(DONA)
We were so lucky to find Leah to be our postpartum doula! After struggling with naps and breastfeeding for weeks, Leah was recommended to us by our lactation consultant - I wish we had known what a postpartum doula was, we would have hired her from day 1.
We'd start each visit with a check-in: how we were all doing, what developmental milestones baby was working on, and what kind of support we needed for that day. Leah helped get baby on track to taking longer and more independent naps and becoming exlusively breasfed, and also established a fun playtime routine. I loved our chats - I learned so much from our conversations about babies, what fun and enriching toys and activities to introduce, and most importantly, how to be the best mom to my baby boy. Leah is so knowledgeable, and was always willing to offer advice without telling me how to parent. Having that added support, especially when my husband went back to work at 6 weeks, introduced some balance back into our lives, which was so important to get our whole family thriving.
Leah makes herself so available to her clients, even on her days off, which as a first time mom without a ton of local support, was so helpful to have. It was bittersweet to say goodbye after around 14 weeks, but we were set up for success and ready to go forward on our own. Getting to this point and enjoying the newborn stage would have been so much harder without her!
