Hi! Im Vanessa, and it is an honor to help you figure out how you want to parent. In whatever way parenthood may look for you- I got you! With 10 years experience as a postpartum doula helping families one thing I've learned is the amount of pressure you feel. Between family, friends, the internet much less the entire world telling you how things will go and what to do or how to do it. My approach is to walk along side you giving you facts and evidence based information so you and things can feel a little more at ease.

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.
