I found Leslie through a referral from Lori Bregman. After speaking with several different doulas, I decided to choose Leslie as my doula because of her professionalism, friendliness, and her open-mindedness. My husband and I are so happy we had Leslie to guide us through the various unexpected changes that occurred during my pregnancy. I like factual data when making these decisions and she sent me great podcasts and resources to help me understand all aspects of the decisions I had to make. She also was always so patient in talking out these decisions with me and helping me flesh out the risks and alternatives to each decision. She checked in with me almost every day since we began working together and was always available if I needed her. During the labor, she was with me every step of the way and provided me with both mental and physical support, ranging from aromatherapy to subdue the nausea to massages to help with the contractions. We are so grateful to have had Leslie on this journey with us, and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks Leslie for being the best!

We decided a little last minute to have a doula for support during our hospital birth and got connected with Leslie. She is so warm and personable we clicked right away. We wanted to have support during delivery and someone to help advocate for us, as well as let us know other options there may be. It took a lot of anxiety away knowing Leslie would be with us. She shared a lot of information with us to help us prepare for labor and was always there if I needed to text or call her. My labor went a little faster than expected but Leslie made it to the hospital in time and was able to take over rubbing my shoulders as well as helping me practice push. She was so encouraging and supportive and we are so happy she was there. She made sure to follow up with us and came to visit and bring me a smoothie once we were home. She is such a gift and we could not recommend her more!
