Leah Frederick
I’m a mother of 3 and RN and CLC of 10+ yrs specialized in postpartum and newborn care. Through my love of neonatal and woman's health and the lack of physical and emotional support for new and expecting families, I became a doula in 2013 and an entrepreneur! I have forever had a passion for pregnancy, birth postpartum and babies and have supported so many different families from all walks of life!
