Leah Castaneda (she/her)
I came to this work through my own experience with becoming a parent - birth and postpartum broke me open in ways that I never could have imagined and I found myself completely unprepared for the transition. The years that followed have been filled with learning, growing, and an ever stronger certainty that we humans are not meant to make this journey alone.
I am a Certified Postpartum Doula through Birthingway College of Midwifery, and my continuing education leads towards a practice that both embraces the uniqueness of each individual and honors the humanity that we all share. I offer compassionate, practical care to any and all individuals seeking support following the birth or adoption of a baby.
