As a skilled intuition-based doula and perinatal social worker, she reminds women of their inherent power, especially when navigating challenges within reproductive wellness experiences.

Her wisdom and lived experiences are evident in her style as an instructor and mentor. A bold advocate and patient educator, Leah believes that relationship is one of the key factors in facilitating smooth, healing experiences. She takes the time to curate personalized, informed experiences for her clients no matter the services they receive.

She completed training with Ancient Song Doula Services, Lactation Education Resources, Steamy Chick, Brilliant Birth Academy, and Grandma’s Hands Herbal School. She is an instructor and mentor with the National Black Doula Association.

When not on call, you’ll find Leah trying a new recipe while listening to an audiobook, walking her pup T’Challa, or savoring moments with loved ones. She loves all things at the intersections of healing, reproductive wholeness & social justice.
