Long & Worth it
Leila… You beautiful, amazing midwife goddess. Our experience with you was just incredible. You worked so so hard for us to make sure we got the home birth we wanted so desperately. You never gave up on us and pushed through our 2 day long labor and delivery. Any woman and couple would be blessed beyond belief to have you as their midwife. I know I was.
VBA2C Power
During labor I faced a lot of unanticipated fears and Leila met me in my depths and helped me along the way. She adapted to what I needed and asked for in the moment, while still encouraging me in and respecting what my wishes had been in my prenatal care. She fiercely protected my birth space and empowered my husband to support me.
Peace and Calm
She entered our birth space so peacefully and was so respectful and calm as she helped us bring our baby boy into the world. She gave us lots of support, especially with the first latch immediately after birth. She held space for me to chat about the birth experience during our postnatal appointment.
Double Breech Twins
I couldn’t have asked for a better woman to be there holding my hand through it, telling me through it and making sure baby b Moses was in the right space to come earth-side. With a scary entrance of Moses she never once let me loose the focus and kept reminding me he’s fine and he’s there. The calmness in her voice when it was needed most is something I’ll never forget! Knowledge is power and she has it! So blessed she was apart of my twin home-birth!
Knowledge and Connection
Any concerns you have are met with knowledge and communication - exceeding all expectations. There’s no one else I would personally rather have on my side.
Hold the mother
We still often joke that for my next baby, we will have to relocate to the state she is practicing in so she can be apart of our birth team, again. Leila, we love you. Thank you.
Got your back!
Leila was absolutely amazing throughout my pregnancy and birth. She cheered me on during my pregnancy and during birth when I just wanted to give up. Continuing to remind me that my baby was coming and that I could do it. Im so grateful I got to experience my first home birth with Leila and would definitely use her again if I could.
One on One
Leila is a fantastic midwife. During our prenatal appointments, I felt like I was the only one in her world - she was so, so loving and focused on me and my life and my baby. And then during my birth, Leila was the epitome of devotion
Family Fun
I am so grateful for her calm demeanor and the confidence you bring with your knowledge. She were great at answering all my questions and making me feel cared for and understood. Thank you!
Viva La VBAC
Words cannot describe how amazing Leila is. I feel so incredibly blessed to have had her for my last pregnancy. I was high risk and having a VBAC and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Pandemic has no holds
Leila ignited a dormant strength in me and my husband that I do not think either of us knew we had within us. She helped us to create a solid foundation through pregnancy, labor, and delivery that serves us as we continue our journey as parents.
Dream Birth
There is absolutely no way I could've had my dream birth all natural exactly how I wanted without Leila. My husband and I cherish every step of it, and it's because we had her support, expertise, and spirit with us.
