You want an amazing doula, I STRONGLY AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND LEILA. I owe her a great deal. At the end of my delivery all my husband and I could say was "Boy are we glad we hired Leila"! She is phenomenal in every way...

After Leila left, the nurses and midwife kept singing her praises and talking about how amazing she was. I don't think they'd had such a great Doula before.

As a self proclaimed budget babe and someone who appreciates the piece of mind that comes with being prepared, HER SERVICES ARE MORE THAN WORTH THE INVESTMENT.

Personally, I was always scared of delivering a baby and always thought I was going to just have a planned c-section, but with her all my fears went away,

When the big day finally came, she was SUCH an integral part of shaping my birth to be a positive one. She created a calm, relaxed environment with twinkle lights and aromatherapy and helped me make informed decisions about induction, fluids, pain management, baby positioning and birthing positions

We could own our birth preferences and our birth! We also knew instinctively what to do with the unsupported birth situation. Leila was connected to me on daily basis, supporting me emotionally with any and all stresses before and after birth like a mother, a close friend, a sister.

She would say things like “Allow yourself to truly connect with yourself, your body and baby will tell you what you need.” Being that this was our first baby, giving birth seemed like a scary process, so many unknown factors but with Leila’s prenatal classes and availability to answer all our questions, when the time came both my husband and I felt confident and safe about this beautiful, joyful and intimate process God made. We were no longer scared.

She is so knowledgeable and was there every step of the way.. as a friend and as a guide through this journey. During the birth I felt so supported and safe with her.. and she helped in so many ways bring our little boy into the world. I am so grateful she came into my life and I'll always be grateful to her. She is such a giver and this is her passion.. and it shows.

She is so well educated, humble and loving and truly existed to serve me and make me as comfortable as possible from the moment we met. With every visit she left behind helpful oils, teas, tips and always did more than promised even throwing in laundry, and light house work. When it comes to labor, mine lasted 3 days- it. Was. Tough. She was with me every step of the way, staying over at my house and helping me get through a very hard night of labor and then another at the birth center.

To say I wholeheartedly recommend Devotion Doula & Yoga would be an understatement. Leila has spoken of leaving for midwifery school, and my wife and I have more than joked about following her or waiting until she comes back to have another child

Leila is the kind of person that words fail to describe how truly amazing she is, as a person and as a doula. We knew we wanted a doula for this baby, our third, as we wanted to do everything we could for the best chances at a VBA2C.

I honestly feel every woman deserves the right doula and Leila is phenomenal!! Both my mother and partner now understand the importance of a doula and how she helps bring out that fire inside of us and remind us mom that we are made for this. I’m so thankful for her!!

Leila gave us all the tools and research to advocate for ourselves to have the birth I wanted as much as possible.Devotion is the perfect name for this company as Leila is one of the most devoted people I know. She's passionate about her work and dedicated to you from beginning to end. I'm grateful to have such an amazing woman grace my life.

I’m convinced that woman is an angel sent straight from heaven. If you are wondering whether or not it’s worth getting a doula during this pandemic, it absolutely is.

Through a long, slow induction, labor, and delivery, Leila helped us achieve our VBA2C, which I strongly believe would not have happened without her. Leila's guidance and encouragement far surpassed what the hospitalists could have provided us with, even though they were present and she was not.

I can tell you working with Leila was 100% worth it and I am so glad I made that decision. She was so supportive leading up and so comforting. Her education classes made my husband and I feel so much more prepared as first time parents.

During my pregnancy, she taught me so many things- the stages of childbirth, how to look at things from an evidence based viewpoint and use that information to make decisions. But what I will remember is our first prenatal visit when she brought over a tub of warm water and gave me a foot massage. Leila has a true servants heart combined with the inspiration and intensity of a leader warrior.

She is a fantastic mix of nurturing, maternal, knowledgeable, and empowering. If you select Leila as your doula, you will have a passionate and supportive birth coach and friend throughout your pregnancy and into motherhood. I highly recommend her.

She goes above and beyond for every one of her mammas. The wealth of knowledge she has is incomparable.

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.
