LABOR DOULA SUPPORT
“I am very grateful for the support we got from Lorena during my labor, the experience was wonderful. I close my eyes thinking about my labor and I recall lavender scent, soothing music, fresh air in my face and for sure the pain… however, having qualified support by your side makes a big difference. Lorena, with all the techniques she knows, it helped me not only to dilate quicker but to have a more natural and humanized birth. My husband and I will always be thankful with her, and her support.” – Maria Elena Chino

POSTPARTUM SUPPORT
“Lorena’s food was delicious, I am thankful and so deeply appreciate for everything she did to help me, she is an angel. I’m eternally grateful, she released so much stress for me.” – Tiffany Bettland

“Lorena’s services were a tremendous help to our family and decreased the general anxiety of learning how to care for our newborn. It allowed us to heal quickly from childbirth and dedicate more time with our son. She has a kind heart and warm presence and we thank her for everything, it was invaluable” – Jamira Todaro

“This note an indication of our satisfaction with Lorena’s services. We really enjoyed working with her and she was amazing with the girls and very respectful to our family. I enjoyed our time together and how much wonderful support we received from her early on.  It was so great to have her guidance, I am very thankful.  I love to support her in her work. ” – Debbie Swanson – TWINS 

DEVELOPMENTAL CLASS
“Lorena has been a wonderful source of information and support as I’ve navigated being a new mom! Recently I had asked her for advice as we were trying to transition my little one from sleeping in a bassinet in our room, to sleeping in a crib in her own room. We had tried it on our own with little luck for a few nights. When talking to Lorena about it, she provided great insight and several ideas to help make the transition. We followed her guidance and our little one has been sleeping in her own room in her crib for several weeks, with little to no interruption! Lorena is obviously very passionate about the work that she does with parents and children and her expertise and love really shines through.”  – Nicole Lehman

INFANT / TODDLER CARE
“Lorena had a curriculum outlined for my son and would keep me up to date on things she was working on with him so I could do the same at home. She not only worried about his primary needs but his cognitive, social, emotional and physical development as well. She was always open to any suggestions I had or things I wanted to try regarding activities, food, cloth diapers, etc.”   – Amy Smith

“Ms. Lorena thoughtfully developed lessons including reading, projects and songs that challenged and entertained the children at an age-appropriate level. Our son often came home remembering the songs and dances he learned, and was proud of the crafts and projects that he made. Ms. Lorena also provided a safe and clean environment for the children.” – Keith and Adriana Miller

“My twins enjoyed being around Ms. Lorena with her constantly positive attitude and loving manner. She provides a very warm and caring environment for the children to learn, while doing things for themselves. She is always available when kids need her throughout their stay.” – Kimberly Schmitz

“Lorena is wonderful with kids and has a special way of connecting with them. Lorena has such a loving, trusting and compassionate nature. Children of all ages really respond to her. She provides a safe and loving environment in which children grow in their creativity, knowledge and imagination. Lorena is very talented at teaching children age-appropriate concepts, and being able to teach individually based on a child’s level of learning. She has excellent verbal communication skills, is extremely organized and reliable.” – Marny Burns

“My children are always so well behaved under her watchful eye, just a gentle reminder puts them back on track if they are not sharing properly or thinking of throwing a tantrum. She provides ideas on stimulating activities and helps them learn in a fun and age appropriate way.” – Kimberly Smith

” We have many, many examples of how Ms. Lorena impressed us with our son. One of my favorites is one morning when he first came into the room; he and another child were fighting over a toy. The other little boy “won” and got the toy and our son started balling. My first instinct was to say “no crying, we share”, Ms. Lorena in all her wisdom got down on his level gave him a warm hug and talked it out by helping him work through it on his own instead of just telling him to get over it.” – Katie Beth & Brandon Kauffman

“I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Lorena for her excellent job performance on our Child Development Program. Due to her continuous efforts the Child Development Center children have been able to learn concepts such as sharing, socializing, safety, and independence skills. Her ability to present the different activities in an artistic manner has proved to be an invaluable resource for our program.” – Nelly Richards
