Course reviews

Leah's postpartum doula training was phenomenal. Her social work background brought a new level of ease and grace to the program. She is a master of her trade. We left the training fully equipped to practice. Her willingness to be open and transparent. Her willingness to pour beyond what's required. Her willingness to show up everyday as her best self was simply amazing. I recommend Leah 10x over!
