"Words could never express what having Lea Ann with me during my VBAC ( at home) meant to me. She had the most amazing ability to gently direct the energy flowing through my body. Through gentle comforting touch and guidance, I felt her transform my tension and fear into something productive and powerful. I would recommend Lea Ann as a birth or postpartum doula without hesitation and if you're lucky enough to have her support, I'd be so happy for you. She is a gift". ~ Umber

"I have absolutely loved my experience with Lea Ann Goettsch at Newborn Mother Care. We met during my pregnancy to talk about my hopes for my labor, delivery, and postpartum. She made me feel like all my questions were important and gave me that “cared for” feeling we all want when we’re pregnant. In labor she was just what my husband and I needed- a quiet and reassuring voice. She was a huge part of me being able to have an unmedicated and empowered labor and delivery. She was right by our side as we started breastfeeding and offered so much support. For the next 2-3 weeks she showered us with love and well-timed healthy, nourishing meals. She truly has enriched this special time for our family by being the perfect support for us". ~ Angela
