We cannot be more grateful for Lorena. She is an exceptional doula. I had a difficult labor with a tough recovery, and I don’t think I could have made it through the first month postpartum without Lorena’s incredible support. She helped me get desperately needed rest especially during those tough first four weeks. I was hesitant at first at the thought of having someone else care for my baby, but all those fears immediately disappeared in meeting Lorena and watching her with our son.  We worked with her for 10 weeks caring for our newborn son and could not be happier. She was always on time and is extremely professional. Most importantly, Lorena loves children and is devoted to caring for them.  She wants the best for your baby and to help you in your parenting journey. Our son is a great sleeper thanks to her techniques and all the training and support she provided to us. She was so kind and supportive when I was struggling with breastfeeding at the beginning and dealing with postpartum hormones. She was non-judgmental of the choices we made as parents and respectful of our home. She was so loving and kind to our son. She would genuinely light up seeing him and was just as happy as us to see him change and grow. It was the absolutely, the best decision we ever made.  I will be forever grateful to have had Lorena be part of the first months of our son’s life and our family.

I had the privilege of being supported by Lorena Monroy during the birth of my baby and the postpartum period. She stayed by my side for 26 hours during labor, providing incredible emotional and practical support. Lorena used pain management techniques that made all the difference, and above all, she helped me stay calm and confident through every step.

In the postpartum period, Lorena continued to be essential, teaching me techniques like swaddling and helping me with lactation techniques more effectively and comfortably. The emotional support I received from her was invaluable, especially during such a delicate and transformative moment.

Additionally, Lorena’s presence was very well-received by my family, who loved how she involved them and helped make this moment even more special.

I recommend Lorena Monroy to anyone seeking truly compassionate, attentive, and professional support during labor and postpartum. She made a huge difference in my journey, and I will forever be grateful for all the care I received.
