Meet Your Doula
Hi, my name is Cindy Lelea. My mission is to empower parents by preparing them for the first months with their newborn and beyond. I help families with the necessary support, evidence-based information, and resources they need to navigate through the exciting and often exhausting journey into parenthood to help foster independence in their innate abilities to nurture and care for their newborn!
As a DONA certified Postpartum Doula, I will create a personalized plan that works for you and your budget. From breastfeeding and baby care support, to mother's recovery support, to overnight support, to healthy meal preparation and relaxation techniques, to virtual support, to sibling support and more, I am equipped and excited to guide you into parenthood.

What Clients Say
"We are pleased to write a review for Cindy. She is God sent to us. My husband and I, as first-time parents, thought we were ready for the baby. All newborn and lactation classes were helpful, but Cindy’s personal touch and care made a difference. I would not even think we could do it without her supervision. She showed us all the proper baby techniques for breastfeeding, swaddling, bathing, and much more. Furthermore, Cindy could take so much off our shoulders. She cooked and helped with laundry. She managed to give personal and emotional care to me with her soft voice, gentle touch, and foot massages.
Ultimately, she was the perfect postpartum doula for us. All the knowledge, tender care, and education she provided us on newborn care gave me confidence. Cindy’s structural and strategic teaching set a solid foundation for us. Even after the weeks passed by, and now we are sufficiently able to handle our son, she is still only a phone call or a text message away. Amazingly, she still checks on us and reassures us.
If you are ever looking for a postpartum doula, Cindy has a wealth of knowledge that is worth everything. She made a world of difference for us. Super Doula Cindy forever became a part of our family and in our prayers."

The Value of Postpartum Doula Support
"Shortly after giving birth, a mother goes through a myriad of physical, hormonal, social and psychological changes, all of which are exacerbated by sleep deprivation and the many challenges of learning to care for her newborn while simultaneously trying to recover from labor and delivery. The postpartum period is a crucial time for a mother to accept all the help and support that she can get; however, most expecting mothers don't realize how demanding caring for a newborn can be." . . .
