Hello! My Name Is Leslie Greene
Meet Leslie
I'm a DONA trained birth and postpartum doula, Lamaze trained Childbirth Educator, Babywearing Consultant, Evidence Based BirthTM Instructor, placenta encapsulator, and BYN Postpartum Navigator... but also, I’m a mom to a homeschooled second grader and we love to spend time with our adopted Shih Tzu and when I'm not working. Oh, and coffee. Always iced coffee! And yarn. I enjoy knitting and crocheting, but I usually stay busy supporting families.
As I am called to the birth world, I am passionate about birth justice, with a special personal interest in Black birthing families. Supporting Black and Brown birthing families, other People of Color, and members of the LGBTQAI+ community is of the highest priority for me, and I’m trained in trauma informed care, and appreciate a holistic and culturally specific approach to birth work. I am also interested in perinatal mental health and will be certified with Postpartum Support International in 2024 as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist.
