We were lucky to catch up with Leah Fellers recently and have shared our conversation below.
Leah, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
As long as I can remember, I have been drawn to women’s health. Not just in a clinical sense, but in a deeply personal one, curious about our cycles, our hormones, our transitions, and the quiet strength women carry through every stage of life. That interest became a steady focus, and over time, it shaped the direction of my work.
My journey eventually led me to traditional medicine. What began as curiosity became commitment. I sought out traditional knowledge holders, elders, and practitioners who carry generations of lived wisdom about plants, healing practices, and women’s bodies. Learning from them changed my understanding of care. It showed me that healing is not always fast or clinical; it is relational, patient, and rooted in community and culture.
Through these teachings, I began to see women’s health differently. Instead of viewing the body as something to manage or correct, I learned to see it as something to support and respect. Traditional medicine approaches the womb, cycles, fertility, and menopause as natural phases of power and transition. This perspective reshaped how I offer care, grounding my work in knowledge held and protected by wise women for generations.
Today, my practice is guided by that lineage. The knowledge I share does not come only from books, but from sitting with Wise Women, listening carefully, and honoring what has been passed down. What once felt like an intense personal interest has become a clear path: supporting women through traditional wisdom, with respect for the women who have carried this knowledge long before me.
I offer care that feels uncommon in today’s world. In the journey from preconception to postpartum, the focus has shifted toward clinical measures, often leaving behind the deeper nourishment of mind, body, and soul. Within my care, a woman is honored wholly. I work with her body to create harmony and restore balance. Though this way of caring was once woven into our culture, we have forgotten how to gently and compassionately hold women through these sacred transitions.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m Leah, founder of Fem.me, a sanctuary devoted to women who desire deeply intentional support from pre-conception to postpartum.
My doula care weaves ancient wisdom with elevated, nurturing practices to guide women through every phase of their reproductive journey, from restoring menstrual harmony to sacred birth and postpartum care. Each offering is designed as a bespoke experience that honors the body’s innate intelligence and capacity to heal.
My specialties are in fertility bodywork and an offering I call “womb medicine”, offering gentle sessions that address menstrual imbalances, support recovery from cesarean birth, and nurture those navigating infertility. Through intentional touch and techniques, I create a space where women feel seen, restored, and deeply supported. Additionally, I provide full-spectrum doula services, caring for mothers recovering from miscarriage or postpartum, tending to their mind, body, and overall wellness through these transformative periods of life.
Fem.me is not simply offering a service; it is an experience of devotion to the feminine body, intentionally focused on rhythms and the renewal of women.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
For years, I struggled with undervaluing my own work, especially because I deeply wanted to care for women. I felt like offering my services should be a gift, and I carried guilt for wanting to be paid for work I knew they needed, sometimes work they couldn’t even afford. I had to unlearn the belief that my worth was tied to how little I could charge. Slowly, I realized that my skills, time, and care are valuable, and that honoring them doesn’t diminish my compassion; it amplifies it. When I began charging appropriately, I felt more confident, my clients respected me more, and I finally understood that my work truly matters. Valuing your work isn’t selfish; it’s acknowledging the impact you bring and creating a sustainable way to continue caring for those who rely on you.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
Most new clients, come from word of mouth. I get such a thrill when people talk about my work and share it with others! There’s nothing better than being remembered, sought out, and trusted by those who truly want my services. Every referral feels like a little spark of connection, and I love that energy; it fuels me and my business in the most exciting way.
