Where LUNA Birth and Wellness works
Services families mention
“We cannot thank Lenore enough for her incredible knowledge, expertise, and compassion throughout my wife's pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.”
“We weren't sure we needed a doula for the birth of our first child but decided to go with a recommendation from our midwife so we could have additional support at the hospital.”
“She also took photos for us and went above and beyond in helping us take an art imprint of the placenta.”
What families say again and again
“My partner and I weren’t sure if we wanted to have a doula with us during labor, but decided to because of concerns about his ability to support after a recent surgery.”
“We cannot thank Lenore enough for her incredible knowledge, expertise, and compassion throughout my wife's pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.”
“She also took photos for us and went above and beyond in helping us take an art imprint of the placenta.”
“We also ended up also taking birth classes, but if you are between birth classes and working with Lenore, her preparation is what helped us the most.”
“I was personally looking for someone who could be calm in a time of panic while also being an advocate for me as the birthing person, but she was that and more.”
What families say
We cannot thank Lenore enough for her incredible knowledge, expertise, and compassion throughout my wife's pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. When my wife approached me with the idea of a labor doula, while supportive, I remained slightly skeptical.
As first time parents, we were looking for someone to be our birth doula and we knew right away that Lenore was the right fit for us! She was exactly what we were looking for: warm, nurturing, extremely knowledgeable with amazing experience.
This is a very long overdue review but Lenore is the most AMAZING human!! I knew that I always wanted to have a doula so when I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, I spent a lot of time finding a doula.
As first time parents, we knew we wanted to work with a doula to help ease some of the fear and anxiety that comes with birth. We interviewed many doulas, all of whom I am sure would have done an incredible job, but Lenore is special.
