Listen to the mother

If you are looking for a home birth midwife in New Orleans, I 1000% recommend Leila with Devotion Midwifery.

I knew Leila was the midwife for me within seconds of our phone consultation. I finally felt heard by a provider. She is a calming presence that is much needed during pregnancy and every stage of labor. We constantly discussed my birth preferences at every prenatal visit, and she eased any of my anxieties. The mutual trust we have with each other played a big role in my positive, first home birth (but fifth pregnancy) experience. I felt safe with her throughout my prenatal care, and labor and delivery. She has (positively) changed the way we see prenatal care and birth, and I wish more people can experience this.

Devotion Midwifery is family-centered care. She welcomed my kids during each visit, shared books with them about home birth, and kneeled next to my daughter as I birthed her younger sister.

Her postpartum and newborn visits are just as special as prenatal visits. My children’s pediatrician was amazed by her newborn and postpartum reports, and that she does the newborn hearing screening as well!

I’m so grateful that our city and state have Leila as an advocate for midwifery care. I love seeing the joy in all that she does. It’s radiating and contagious. The student midwives under her wing will continue midwifery care for future generations in a beautiful way. I’m hopeful for the future because of Leila and Devotion Midwifery
