I’m speaking at the Virginia Women and Family Support Center’s Maternal Health Workshop on April 19, 2025, and I’d love to see you there!

This empowering event brings together healthcare professionals, mothers, policymakers, advocates, and community leaders to tackle the maternal health crisis, share life-changing knowledge, and offer real tools to support women before, during, and after childbirth.

Topics include mental health, prenatal care, creating birth plans, postpartum support, and so much more. And best of all, 100% of proceeds support housing for women and children experiencing homelessness.

🎟️ Get your tickets at vawfsc.org/maternalhealthworkshop and use my code “MHW” for $5 off.

🎟️ I’m giving away 10 FREE tickets to the Maternal Health Workshop! Use code “LESLIE” at checkout—the first 10 people to register with this code will attend completely free!

Where are my Virginia Medicaid enrolled providers? I see only 4 of us doulas in Northern Virginia, 7 if I count Fredericksburg/Stafford.

I CAN SERVE VA MEDICAID CLIENTS FOR FREE!

Right now, I can do up to 4 postpartum visits with anyone in Virginia on Medicaid that’s given birth in the last 6 months, possibly up to 12 months. I can do prenatals as well. Tell them to book a consult with me! I can help RIGHT NOW.

Today I am proud to announce that I have received the honored designation as a Perinatal Safe Spot by and . Thank you so much to elder midwife and activist for making the framework available to our communities!!!! I live in northern Virginia and serve as a community birth worker in person here, and will now be able to be easily recognized as a Perinatal Safe Spot for residents of my ancestral and familial home of Atmore, AL and Escambia County! I look forward to making much progress for our severely underserved community and collaborate with local supporters and workers like to expand safe reproductive care in Alabama. Currently, there is not ONE designated Perinatal Safe Spot listed in the website- until Peridot Births is listed, that is. Hooray for 2024!
