Why Knowledge-Based Birth?
Recognizing the common challenges that many expecting parents encounter – the lack of continuous, compassionate support and comprehensive preparation with their interests in focus – I established Knowledge-Based Birth to address this need.
Regardless of how your baby decides to arrive, what truly matters is equipping yourself with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the birthing journey calmly and confidently.
My services are tailored to provide you with diverse knowledge sources: from evidence-based information transfer to holistic wisdom and fostering self-awareness. Because, as the saying goes,
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

Highly recommend!!
Lea was absolutely amazing throughout our birth journey! She was incredibly organized, thorough, and gave us a plethora of information and practical tools – many of which we ended up actually using during the birth! She was always prepared, timely, supportive, and available whenever we needed her. Thank you, Lea, for everything!
Lea as our doula
We were lucky enough to have Lea as our doula, and the more time goes by the more I realize how much her guidance and her really amazing birth course were so instrumental in our journey. Thank you!!!
Highly recommended course for first time moms and beyond!!’
Leah’s online birth course is fantastic. I don’t currently live in Israel but decided to take it anyway, and I found it to be more comprehensive and helpful than hospital based birth course. It’s also very supportive and inclusive and neutral, evidence based without an agenda of how the birth and birth experience around it is supposed to be. The main objective is to provide as much information as possible in an engaging and informative manner and Leah does it brilliantly! Highly recommend!
Birth in Israel
Olot Chadashot and other non-native Hebrew speakers face special difficulties during their pregnancy in Israel. Being a (not so new) Olah Chadasha myself I understand the struggles. Are you from the US and surprised by the possibility of not seeing a doctor during birth? Are you from the UK and longing for midwife-led care? Are you from Brazil and perplexed why a c-section is not suggested to you? Are you from the Netherlands and puzzled by the doctor’s judgemental reaction when asking about home birth options? Here comes the secret: Birth is culture too!
To support a positive experience, my goal is to help you gain practical knowledge, learn techniques, and receive information to navigate the Israeli maternity care system. Ensuring the best physical and emotional outcomes for both mother and baby is my highest priority.
