I had my dream Homebirth with Lesley and her partner Vicki. It went very well, I felt supported as she constantly brought me my water to keep me hydrated, checked all of my vitals appropriately, and her energy that she brought into my birth space was just beautiful. She is very kind, patient, knowledgeable, and professional. She has a lot of resources available like a mini library that you can rent books from that will help you with pregnancy and beyond. I loved that I could call or email her anytime with any question I had, it really helped reaffirm my decisions/concerns. She does a terrific job giving advice without judgement or pressing her opinion on you. She was very thorough during my prenatal appointments, I didn't feel rushed and she respected all my decisions. I will definitely be using her for my subsequent pregnancies and births.
