Leah is a DONA international certified birth and postpartum doula. She is enthusiastic about supporting women to achieve the birth experience they desire. She knows that these moments are precious and doesn’t take this opportunity lightly. She is passionate about hypnobirthing, Homebirth, and natural hospital birthing. She believes in you, and your ability to birth your baby YOUR WAY! 

Hello and welcome! 
My name is Leah Heinz. It is a privilege to be considered as your doula. I believe the time of pregnancy and after is sacred and I feel honored to be included in those moments with you and your family. 15 years ago, when I delivered my first son as a teen mom, I knew that I was forever changed by the birthing process and wanted to devote my life to it. My goal as your doula is to help you feel confident, empowered and prepared to achieve your ideal labor and delivery. I want you to feel loved, and supported from the moment we meet. ​
