After my first two children I was left with a lot of disappointment following each of their births. When I found out I was pregnant a third time I immediately knew I needed to do something different and found LeNay. I knew from our phone interview that she would be incredible to work with, but it was reassuring when I mentioned it to my midwife and she immediately exclaimed "Oh my goodness, LeNay! We LOVE her!"
She had amazing resources like a healthier alternative to the glucose drink, stretches, ways to keep my rotating baby head down and was a constant source of affirmation when I had doubts. Still, I wasn’t quite sure I would make through the height of labor. I deeply hoped for an unmedicated birth, but still had quite a bit of fear about it.
When the time came, labor progressed in a similar way as before. Contractions went from uncomfortable to breathtaking to debilitating and suddenly I was certain what I wanted was impossible. I was in a place I had never made it to in labor before but LeNay had no doubts at all. She knew how disappointed I was to have had an epidural in the past and offered what I had always hoped for, which was total confidence and faith through the hardest moments until the euphoria of holding my daughter in my arms. There is no way to accurately describe completely subsisting on someone else’s faith (or to thank them for it) but LeNay was absolutely the only reason I didn’t give up, and beyond that, discover that I was far, far more able than I ever imagined. She is a gifted and amazing woman who held me by the hand through a wholly redemptive birth experience.
If you are looking for someone who will listen to your goals and guard them with you, you will find that in LeNay, along with so much gentleness and care along the way. I cannot speak highly of her enough and hope anyone considering her will know what a gift she is. Do not even think twice about hiring her <3
