What are mama's saying about my support?
"Leidy was such a calming presence, gave me the best advice and suggestions, and really worked in tandem with my labor team I never felt pressured, just more informed. Everyone who walked into the room also talked about how calming and nice the energy in my room was- all arranged by Leidy." Courtney - Mama of two
"Thank you again for helping us through this major life event. We are so so blessed to have your support throughout this entire journey. I honestly don't know if we could have made it as long as we did without your help and support. You are amazing" Kailey - First time Mama
"From the second she arrived, her calm presence filled the room. Leidy has a talent to fill in where your birth partner isn’t, but let them take the space when they are willing/able. She empowered me and helped me feel safe and in control throughout my birth. She always seemed to know which phase of labor I was in, and would have the perfect advice to give in between contractions as well as during. She provided many different methods of hands on support that brought comfort and relief. She has a talent for reading your body language, and unspoken support. I went into the birth open to getting an epidural, but the whole thing went so well I never felt like I needed it and before I know it the baby had arrived..."
I take being invited into your birth space as a great honor. I will do my best to surround you in a calm, comforting environment.

It’s amazing to witness power, strength, perseverance time and time again.
