I am doula Leanna, a full spectrum doula and childbirth mentor. Birth work, for me is activism. It is community care. It is facilitating reproductive justice for all. My own birthing experiences birthed newness in me, transformed my humanity and have informed the way in which I practice in this space.

I am dedicated to providing non judgmental support, physically, mentally and emotionally, so you feel empowered to make informed decisions in an environment where you feel safe, seen and heard.

When we work together, consider me a companion throughout your journey. Holding space and bearing witness with curiosity and love, so much love.
