Doula Services – Coming out of “retirement” in Fall 2025

Fee: $1800

My services are customized to the special requests and needs of the birthing mom and her support team. Standard services include emotional support, physical comfort measures, and advocacy. I was trained through a DONA-certified birth doula course and Nurturing Hearts Birth Services. I’ve had the great honor of attending over 150 beautiful births and my doula style is guided in the midwifery model of care.

I began my doula journey in 2006 and “retired” in 2015 after the birth of my fourth child. I look forward to taking on the sacred role of doula again soon!

Birth Consultant Services (Virtual)

Fee: $75 for one hour, $200 for three hours (two sessions)

This unique service is offered from my heart and is one of my favorite ways in which to honor the sacred transformation of birth. Created by request of many women, this service is offered to women who don’t need a doula (or already have one) but are craving honest, non-judgmental connection and advice regarding birth.

These sessions are customized for each client to discuss the most pertinent topics on their heart and mind.

Virtual Childbirth Education Classes

Fee: $125

I offer comprehensive, virtual childbirth classes that guide expectant parents through emotional, physical, and practical preparation for labor, birth, and early postpartum. Grounded in evidence-based practices and holistic wisdom, participants will build confidence, reduce fears, and create a birth plan aligned with their values. 

This is a virtual class via Zoom where, over the course of four weeks, we’ll cover a plethora of topics and practice some hands-on techniques for comfort measures during labor and birth. Class size is limited to 20 participants to foster a safe, intimate space for learning, connection, and shared support.

About Leigh Steele, Certified Doula and Childbirth Educator

As a certified doula & childbirth educator, I have had the great joy of attending over 150 amazing births, both at home and in hospitals and birth centers. I began my doula journey in 2006 – after the birth of my first child – and “retired” in 2015 after my fourth child was a few years old. I’m honored to be coming out of retirement to service the greater Phoenix community once again! 

The beauty of having attended births is that I am constantly being guided and taught by my clients and their babies.My deepest lessons have been in learning to step back, limit my words, watch every action carefully, and simply hold the space. I follow the lead of the birthing mother.

I am a “keeper of birth” and provide no deeper wisdom than a woman’s own body during the intense and powerful moments of birth.   In the intricacies of a woman’s DNA and the wide expanses of their hearts, they already know everything they need to know. The greatest gifts I offer is an open heart, a listening ear, and a knowing nod in the throes of labor.

I am a proud LQBTQI+ ally and serve clients of all faiths and spiritual leanings. Every woman deserve support.
