Sarah Leech - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Sarah

Many parents find the early weeks with a newborn both beautiful and overwhelming. My goal is to provide calm, knowledgeable support so families can rest, recover, and feel confident during this important transition. Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a certifying Birth & Postpartum Doula, professional nanny and trained Newborn Care Specialist based in Lethbridge, Alberta. I provide overnight newborn & infant care along with postpartum support for families during the early weeks and months after welcoming a new baby. I bring over 20 years of professional childcare experience, including extensive work as a travel nanny supporting families in their homes around Europe & Canada. These experiences have allowed me to work closely with infants, children, and parents in many different environments, strengthening my ability to adapt to each family’s unique needs and parenting style. My background also includes experience working in healthcare environments supporting NICU and pediatric units, which has deepened my understanding of newborn development and the importance of creating a calm, reassuring environment for both baby and parents. My philosophy is that every family deserves compassionate, non-judgmental support during the transition into parenthood. I believe parents already have strong instincts, and my role is to provide reassurance, guidance, and practical support so they can feel confident caring for their baby. I am currently completing my certification as a Fertility, Birth and Postpartum Doula and look forward to expanding my support for families as my training continues. I am based in Lethbridge and am happy to travel throughout Southern Alberta.
