LèVonta W. | Birth Doula in Colorado Springs, CO

LightHouse Effect LLC

    Practice overview

    I began my journey as a nurse 13 years ago but my love for birth truly started when I first learned of my own pregnancy in 2006. After what seemed like a traumatic birthing experience with my son, I made it my mission to help as many woman (especially women of color) have a serene and magical birthing experience. I was a doula for both of my sisters pregnancies. One had 3 children and the other recently had her first. I finally answered the divine calling to dedicate my time and energy solely to my mission of making sure every birthing person has the very best experience possible during such a momentous occasion in their life. It's not only important for me to support and empower the birthing person but also the partner. My goal is to assist all involved in this special moment and provide a positive and fulfilling experience for all.

      Being a first time mom, I had no idea what to expect when it came to giving birth or breastfeeding, but Le’Vonta was very patient and understanding with me. She made sure I understood every option available and was very supportive in my decisions. Le’Vonta went above and beyond to ensure my birthing experience was exactly how I wanted it. I’m so grateful I had her in my corner!

      With all of Le’Vonta’s knowledge of the medical field she was the perfect fit for me during my pregnancy. No matter what was going on she always had kind words, a listening ear, and a solution. From start to finish she was amazing!
