Leigh Steele, Senior Trender
With a BA in Communication from Ottawa University, Leigh was able to put her life-long love of words to good use as a business writer for a financial institution. After ten years in the cubicle world, Leigh shucked the spirit-draining environment of Corporate America and suited up for a job with the big bosses: as a Stay at Home Mom with a penchant for blogging. After birthing and motherhood led her to experience her "authentic self" and a rejuvenation of her spirit, Leigh began advocating for women and babies as a birth doula. She also acts as the membership coordinator, and a staff writer, for the Arizona Birth Network. Leigh is proud to support homebirth and midwifery and lives a small and crazy life in the lushness of the desert in Arizona. Oh, and she loves her iPhone.
