Request to Meet Leah

Leah is a Birth and Postpartum Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Student Midwife with extensive experience supporting families throughout New York City. Her birthwork journey began in 2011 and evolved into full-time doula and lactation care in 2020. In 2025, she began apprenticing with two local homebirth midwifery practices while continuing formal midwifery studies. Leah currently supports families as a doula and lactation counselor as she deepens her clinical training in out-of-hospital midwifery care.

Her training includes Birth Doula Certification through Childbirth International, Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) training, and Community Doula Training with the NYC Doula Initiative, along with advanced education in physiological birth, postpartum recovery, labor biomechanics, pelvic floor care, breathwork and pain management, birth advocacy, and perinatal mental health. She holds certifications in Adult and Pediatric CPR and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP). Leah has supported a wide range of birth experiences, including home births, hospital and birth center births, inductions, breech vaginal births, planned and unplanned cesareans, VBACs and VBA2Cs, twin and triplet births, premature births with NICU stays, stillbirths, and births following traumatic experiences.

Her postpartum support is holistic and home-centered, offering lactation and infant feeding guidance across all feeding methods, hands-on care, baby care education, and emotional support for the whole household. Leah works with families of all backgrounds and cultures, including first-time and experienced parents, high-risk pregnancies, parents with mental health struggles, single parents, adoptive families, and those navigating pregnancy or infant loss.

  • "110% would recommend Leah to everyone! She takes care of her clients as her own family. I had a difficult pregnancy that led to a c-section, and I'm so thankful I had her help me through it. She really made the c-section experience so sacred and special. Also, I owe my quick breastfeeding success to her help in the recovery room! Having Leah as your doula is like having a Google Search at your side to answer all our questions during the craziest moment of your life. All I cared about was that my babies were okay and she saw that and made me feel so safe. Honestly, my experience with her gave me the opportunity to know what an extraordinary human being is she. Leah is such an amazing doula! I really couldn't have done it without her."

    Raquil M., c-section birth with triplets

  • "Absolutely recommend Leah to all families! I had an induction and was very nervous, but through the 27 long hours of labor, she never left my side. The birth was very hard, but I have beautiful memories, mostly because of Leah! She did everything with great care and love and we will never forget all her support - she's our angel! She understood exactly what we wanted and encouraged us to follow our choices. She worked so well with the hospital staff being very kind and friendly when I honestly couldn't be! She made the environment very welcoming and peaceful. She worked tirelessly to support my husband and me both physically and emotionally and I got to have the birth experience I wanted because of her. Also, her massages are amazing and GREATLY eased my pain! We felt supported throughout the process - before, during, and after the birth! Definitely will have her again for my next baby!"

    Ariela H., induction birth

  • “Leah supported our family in a way that was highly personalized and went above and beyond to support our birth plan and the needs that went along with that. I would describe Leah as prepared, thorough, peaceful, and compassionate. We had a home birth and as a testament to Leah, our midwives were thrilled to have her around because she was easy to work with and was always a step ahead of them as far as prep. She did whatever was needed and was very intuitive in her care. Also, having leah help postpartum was a complete game changer; her peaceful presence was so incredible for our family. Your birth experience will be worlds better having Leah a part of it! Also, having Leah to support my husband was really amazing! Her support of him and her taking care of lots of logistics meant he could be present with me entirely, which was everything! Also, having help postpartum is absolutely amazing and I don’t know how we would have done it without her help.”

    Lauren B. - Birth, Postpartum Daytime & Overnight client, home birth

  • “I strongly believe that having Leah as my doula increased my satisfaction with my birth experience because I felt SO very validated and listened to by her. She respected my feelings and thoughts throughout the entire journey of my pregnancy and adoption story. I would say that Leah is amazing and an awesome doula! She is really understanding and compassionate and she truly cares. Her support was invaluable to me and I couldn't imagine doing it without her.”

    Maggie B. - Birth & Postpartum Daytime client, c-section with twins & open adoption

  • “I would tell every family to absolutely hire Leah! This was my first baby and despite reading and taking classes, I still didn’t know what to expect. Having an experienced advocate like Leah who could suggest things, provide sound answers, and be my support was so, so helpful. Had it been me and my husband alone, we’d have been so lost when it came to the labor. Not to mention how incredibly valuable the help at home was from her overnight support to breastfeeding tips, to baby-wearing & swaddling, to meals, and recovery info. Just so many things we didn’t know exactly how to do. So thankful for Leah’s excellent care of me and my family!”

    Shelby D. - Birth, Postpartum Daytime & Overnight client, hospital vaginal birth,

  • "Leah helped me achieve a birth experience I never thought I would have! She provided so much support, comfort, and encouragement. She truly went the extra mile in reaching out in thoughtful ways throughout the whole relationship! She really helped me remain confident in my body's ability. It removed a level of anxiety and allowed me to focus on my baby, knowing she was there to help, guide, and support me. I honestly don't think I would have made it through fully unmedicated labor because of previous medical trauma without her support and encouragement!.”

  • “So, full stop; Leah was incredible. We couldn’t have had the birth experience that we wanted without her. She was so integral in empowering us with knowledge leading up to the birth. She was accessible when I needed her and I felt very prepared going into the final weeks of my pregnancy. When I started to go into labor at 2am, she got me through it. I could NOT have done it without her. We labored at home for 6 hours and arrived at the hospital nearly fully dilated. She was an incredible advocate for me and us, and I feel lucky to have found her. I would recommend her to any mom if they needed a doula and if I get pregnant again I will bring her along for the ride for round 2!”

  • "Do it! Leah is the best. Everything from meal prep, caring for our baby, showing me different soothing/sleep tricks, helping with our toddler, and more! I felt so supported and didn’t worry about a thing while she was with me and I was truly able to REST! Having her support over 3 months, I knew I had someone in my corner to help with any questions, concerns, resources, and referrals. She was so happy to support my family and me in any way. I was very impressed by her massages and mini-relaxation sessions too!”
