Leila Armour is a postpartum doula, holistic nutrition consultant and mother of three. With only a handful of voices championing the importance of the postpartum period and the essential role loved ones play in shaping a new mother’s experience, she felt it was time to re-write our cultural narrative and begin educating those around expectant and new mothers. Four months after her daughter was born, she gathered her own village of local, creative women and mothers to bring her vision to life.

In April 2020, she launched Village for Mama as an online postpartum resource and in December 2020, she published Village for Mama - Nourishment for the Fourth Trimester, a book created to help expectant mothers gather their village and organise homemade meals during their fourth trimester. Leila is dedicated to helping new mothers feel held and supported through nourishing food and a village.
