About Leah
‘Doula Leah’
Hi, I’m Leah — a passionate doula, certified Baby Massage Instructor, and mother of four. Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum has been both my calling and my joy for over 12 years, and I feel honoured to walk alongside parents as they welcome new life into the world.
My journey into doula work began long before I received formal training. Experiencing my own pregnancies over 20 years ago opened my eyes to how profoundly supportive care can shape the birthing experience. I wanted to help families feel empowered, informed, and truly seen during one of life’s most transformative times. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to learning, practicing, and sharing everything I know — from the practicalities of birth to the emotional support that makes all the difference.
I believe every birth is unique, and every family deserves care that is compassionate, personalised, and grounded in current, evidence-based knowledge. Whether I’m supporting a first-time parent or a family welcoming their next child, my role is to provide steady guidance, gentle reassurance, and advocacy — always honouring your choices and your journey.
In addition to birth support, I am a certified Baby Massage Instructor through IMIS (Infant Massage Information Services). Teaching parents the skills of nurturing touch allows me to extend support beyond birth, helping babies settle more easily, sleep better, and enjoy comfort from common challenges such as colic, reflux, or eczema — while also deepening the bond between parent and child.
Connection…
Being a mother myself gives me a unique perspective, blending lived experience with professional knowledge. I understand the joys, challenges, and emotional highs and lows that accompany early parenthood, and I bring that empathy to every family I work with.
If you’re looking for support that is attentive, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs, I would love to connect. My approach is warm, flexible, and focused entirely on helping you feel empowered, confident, and supported through this incredible journey.
