Doula Services
Empowering, supporting and advocating for women and families throughout pregnancy and birth. Supporting families at Beginnings Birth Center, Memorial North Hospital, St. Francis Hospital and home births in Colorado Springs.
Welcome! I am Leah Boains– licensed massage therapist, childbirth educator, certified birth doula and certified perinatal patient advocate, serving women and families in Colorado Springs.
My mission:
- Providing THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE FOR WOMEN throughout all stages of life. Whether softening tight pelvic muscles of a mother who is nearing her due window, or releasing tense upper back muscles of a woman who has been hard at work all day, I consider it an honor to hold space for my clients.
- Providing DOULA SUPPORT that empowers and educates families, as they maintain autonomy and decision-making power in their birth experience. I provide experienced, evidence-based, heart-felt, doula services. I am a hands-on doula, but I also know when to sit on my hands and let the beauty of birth unfold. I believe that birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.
- TEACHING CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION, including postpartum, newborn and breastfeeding classes, to expectant families. I teach quality, evidence-based classes (and have a little too much fun doing it!) with my doula collective, Empowered Life Birth Collective. Classes are approved by, and held at, Beginnings Birth Center.
