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. 
I have been with my my first love, Chris, for 16 years. We have three incredible sons and two cute pups. 13 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. ​

"Leah is such a kind and supportive person which makes her the perfect doula! I met her last summer when I was pregnant with baby number two and she coached my husband and I through what I consider to be the most magical birth experience! Thanks to the tips and advice she gave us on hypnobirthing techniques, I had an amazing home birth that was nearly pain free! If you're looking for someone to make you feel comfortable and at ease during your pregnancy and birth, Leah is definitely your girl!" - Gabrielle Moser
