It's difficult to convey just how much we appreciated Luna as a doula, throughout pregnancy, labor and birth. From the beginning, she was the soul of calm: gentle, inquisitive and deeply nonjudgmental as she asked my birthing partner and me (nonbirthing) about our preferences. She helped us learn about physiology of birth such that we felt very prepared once my partner went into labor. And when my partner went into labor, Luna was there to help support us, physically and emotionally. During early labor she fostered a calm and supportive atmosphere and as labor progressed she helped my partner remain as comfortable as possible, with massage and exercises that regularized her contractions. She was wonderful at the hospital, too, comforting both of us as we navigated a really tricky bureaucracy. I could not imagine a better caregiver. I would strongly, strongly recommend her to anyone considering hiring a doula — and even to anyone who is not.

My partner and I worked with Luna for the birth of our first child. We were hoping for an unmedicated birth and were looking for a doula to help manage the experience. We were struck by Luna’s easygoing, down-to-earth demeanor, which we felt would be a calming presence during a stressful life event. Before the birth, Luna met with us twice to discuss our preferences, and she shared a number of very helpful resources to prepare. Luna was on call for us in the final weeks before the birth, checking in often and providing advice. Luna’s support during the labor and birth  was invaluable. There is NO WAY I would have succeeded in my goal of an unmedicated birth without her. Luna applied counterpressure during contractions, massaged my feet, offered techniques to help with pain, supported my partner, and let me squeeze her hand almost to a pulp. We wholeheartedly recommend Luna to anyone looking for nonjudgmental support and guidance. Even the hospital staff commented that they loved her!

Luna was an incredible support during the pregnancy and delivery of our first child. She was thoughtful, patient, and a knowledgeable resource throughout our prenatal visits and during our son’s birth. Luna began with two prenatal visits at our apartment, where she walked us through the key elements of labor with an open mind and patience (it was our first!). We immediately felt safe with her, and she became like family. When my wife went into labor 3 weeks early, Luna quickly gathered the supplies we needed and joined us at the hospital, providing a calm, supportive presence. She instilled confidence in both of us, helping us think, "We got this!" Her guidance before and during labor made the entire experience more enjoyable. Luna also made sure I took breaks to grab food when needed, knowing I was exhausted. We highly recommend Luna as a doula—she’s now a cherished part of our lives, even attending our son’s bris after birth. We feel so fortunate to have worked with her!

I am so happy that Luna was a part of our birthing experience. Luna was very communicative throughout my pregnancy. I always felt comfortable asking her questions, knowing that she would give us thoughtful and honest answers. She brought a calm confidence to the delivery room that helped us immensely. I highly recommend Luna for her doula services.

Luna was incredible. She was kind, listening, knowledgeable, wise, patient, understanding, prepared, and supportive. Before the birth, she helped us feel 100% prepared and confident. During the birth, she helped calm down the mom, helped the mom make good decisions based on her knowledge of the hospital and staff, and added nice details of decor to the birthing environment. She also had great strength which she used throughout active labor and delivery. Her suggestion of a push bar was very helpful, too! After the birth she was gracious, reassuring, and gave a good check-in with us shortly after we made it back home a few days after the birth. All-in-all, a very good decision for us to have her a part of our pregnancy and birth. A+ rating, for sure.

We loved working with Luna! She was so lovely and we found the prenatal visits so helpful. We learned a lot about the birthing process and the decisions we might have to make and were able to talk everything through in advance. During the labor/ birth itself, Luna was so helpful, especially as things were not exactly as planned.

Luna was able to come [as a back-up doula] at a last moments' notice when I was in unbearable pain! She was an incredibly soothing calming presence during my labor and helped center me - I could not have made it through without her there. She was also there after the birth and was a great resource of information for post partum care. She will continue to check up on you responsibly. I highly recommend!

Luna is a wonderful doula — having her as part of our team provided so much comfort. It was great having her knowledge to understand the wider context of all the aspects of the birthing process and to feel more confident in our decisions. She provided such thoughtful care for us throughout the birth.
