Long and Worth It

Leila is THE BEST! She is so amazingly knowledgeable and lovingly supportive. I live several hours away (plus we are currently under lock down due to Covid), so she provided virtual support during my extended labor. As a first-time mom who has been reading constantly and learning as much as I possibly can, I thought I was well-prepared for labor, but my labor was far from textbook (started Wed morning at 3:30 AM and finally had the baby naturally on Sun afternoon). Leila suggested different positions to facilitate optimal positioning and help the labor progress, in addition to providing much-needed emotional support and encouragement. She also recommended that I seek the support of a chiropractor and acupuncturist - both of which absolutely SAVED my birth. The chiro was having me do the exact exercises that Leila suggested and the acupuncturist was very successful at inducing stronger contractions to help the labor progress. I couldn't have done it without this entire team. We had a successful home birth thanks to YOU!
