Birth holds everything at once;power, vulnerability, wonder, fear, joy, and an indescribable kind of love. Maybe that’s why I’ve walked this path seven times myself; I still haven’t recovered from the awe of it.

As a mother to these incredible children, I’ve experienced nearly every type of birth, and through my work with Leyda Tova I’ve had the privilege to learn, teach, and support others through this extraordinary journey. This resource page brings together the knowledge, tools, and guidance I wish every parent had, so you can feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

What the Moms are Saying

"I really enjoyed my labor with the pool. Unfortunately I couldn't give birth in water, however one of the best moments was when I got into the water and all the strong sensations (i don't like the word "pain") disappeared. I felt relaxed and enjoyed the work we (me and my baby) did together :)"

"Hi! Even though I didn't give birth at home in the pool as i planned, i still benefitted a lot from having it around before and after the birth: it’s so relaxing while getting through the last couple of weeks of pregnancy and it is so soothing after birth when the body needs a huge nature's caressing care! Very glad to have had it around that critical period of life!! Thanks 🌺"

I was debating about whether or not I wanted to rent the birthing pool for my home birth. I could not be more grateful That I decided to go for it. Getting in the pool was such a relief and really allowed me to stay fully relaxed. The pool was an essential part of my successful home birth and I couldn’t recommend it more!

This is my second time using the birth pool from leyda tova sheli and couldn't recommend it enough! It's a totally different experience. The first time using it, between contractions I literaly felt like I was in a spa, so calm and comforting in the water, the water just took away all my weight and any pain and discomfort I had between contractions. And actually birthing into the pool just felt like the water saved me because it would've been so much more painful out of the water.

Even after the birth, to stay in the water for a bit longer and be still in a warm environment made such a huge difference.

As for the sherut, it was amazing. We got the pool just a day or two after ordering it and if we had any questions along the way, they were all answered quickly and clearly and when we were done it was picked up from our house as soon as we were ready to give it back (we took the rented option).

Really, worth every penny

Having the birthing pool made a huge huge huge difference in my labor. I was exhausted and in so much pain and when my midwife finally told me I could use the pool I experience so much relief and relaxation and deeper connection to my body's movement. I got some much needed sleep that I couldn't get before in between contractions and during contractions the pool comforted me. The actual pool is so sturdy and supportive I remember the joy of first getting in and feeling like it was a warm supportive hug and like the best pool I couldn't have even imagined for myself. Besides the pool itself, the service that Delia gives is so sweet because she is so sweet, honest and caring
