My husband and I have two daughters. They are our pride and joy with the perfect mix of sassy and sweet. ••• I myself had a very traumatic birth in 2021 and I am very thankful for it because it has led me here, helping other mommas and doing what I have been called to do. I am a Christian Certified Doula located in the state of Ohio.

I’m Lea. A wife, mother, and birth doula (DONA trained). Long before I found birth work, I found myself drawn to supporting women through transformation. I began my career as a fitness coach after spending years healing my own relationship with my body and food. As I learned and grew, it became deeply meaningful to help other women navigate their own journeys with confidence and self-trust. Over time, I felt called to go deeper. I continued my education and began working with women through mindset and trauma-informed healing. My passion became helping women reconnect with themselves, uncover who they truly were beneath the noise, and step into the next chapter of their lives with intention. That work eventually led me to host transformational retreats in Costa Rica, guiding women through some of the most meaningful seasons of growth and change. Then came my own transformation: motherhood. After experiencing pregnancy, birth, and postpartum for myself, everything clicked into place. My doula played such an important role in my journey, and becoming a mother changed me in ways I never could have anticipated. Looking back, I can see that every chapter of my work had been preparing me for this one. Birth is about so much more than having a baby. It is a threshold. A crossing-over. A moment that asks something of you and leaves you forever changed. Supporting women through that transformation feels like the most natural expression of everything I’ve ever cared about. It is an incredible privilege to walk alongside families during one of the most vulnerable, powerful, and life-changing experiences they will ever have. My hope is that I can be the doula who helps you cross the threshold into the next version of yourself.

Working with Lea was absolutely life changing for me. She is so talented, wise, calm, and will always help you reach new heights within your mind. She helped me step outside of my thoughts / internal chatter and view them from a 3rd person perspective, creating such a breath of fresh air for my mental health. She will change your life i promise! <3
