From one parent to another:

Having a baby (or babies!) is the most exciting, nerve-wracking, fulfilling and unbalanced time in your life. Through postpartum support, guidance, nourishment and education, I can help you navigate this beautifully chaotic period. Together, we'll find peace, comfort, and confidence in your journey through the newborn world.

What is a Postpartum Doula?

A postpartum doula is a trained professional who offers gentle, knowledgeable support to help new parents navigate the early days and weeks of life with a newborn. Blending hands-on help, emotional care, and guidance, they step into the home after birth to make the transition into parenthood feel more manageable and supported.

  • I will join you and your family during the delicate time following your baby’s arrival. Every day postpartum is different, so every day we’re together will be different. Whether you need emotional support, lactation or bottle feeding assistance, swaddling help, newborn care trips, a nourishing meal or just a nap, I’ll be there to help guide you every step of the way.

  • Healing postpartum starts with how you nourish your body. I’ll develop and cook weekly meals based on your preferences, with the explicit goal of healing your body from within.

  • In the final weeks leading up to baby’s arrival, you’ll want to have your house ready. I’ll help unbox all those gifts, wash all the baby’s clothes, sterilize bottles and your pump parts, build furniture and help prepare your house so it’s as efficient as possible. That way, you only have to worry about taking care of the baby once they’re here.

Ways I can support you

Hi, I’m Leanna

From the age of 5, I always knew that becoming a mom was my calling. When I had my son, Arlo, I quickly realized that my desire to be his mom extended beyond simply nurturing him—I wanted to support others on their own journeys into parenthood. During my pregnancy, I fully immersed myself in the world of birth and postpartum. I dove into research, listened to podcasts, read books, and built a passionate, supportive birthing and postpartum team for myself and my partner. The guidance I received throughout my experience helped me navigate the highs and lows of early motherhood, revealing just how vital this support is during such a transformative time. Now, as a certified postpartum doula and certified postpartum nutrition specialist, I’m deeply inspired to offer the same support and care to other parents, birthers, and supporters as they navigate the postpartum period.

  • "Leanna was supportive, encouraging, and incredibly helpful. I honestly do not know what I would have done if she hadn't been there. She provided guidance while also encouraging me to take the lead and follow my intuition, and gave me confidence in my own abilities."

  • "I LOVED working with Leanna!...She has the perfect personality to guide you through organizing-- kind, efficient, thorough, and fun! It's so helpful to have her perspective as a mom and doula so you know you're not forgetting what you need to have easily on hand for the earliest newborn days (pumping supplies, etc.) and what can be stored away."
