Lorena was born and raised in Panama, and with a North American and a Panamanian parent, she bring with her a taste of multicultural integration. She grew up in the country side of Panama, so moving to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, to be outdoors as much as possible, enjoy hiking with their dog, kayaking, camping, and live a simple life, makes it feel like home.

Being Certified as a Childbirth Educator, Labor & Postpartum Doula, Lactation Counselor, and Infant Massage, presently certifying as Prenatal Psychology Educator, and extensively trained in Infant Sleep & Conscious Discipline , she brings a combination of knowledge and experience in supporting parents as early as pre-conception.

She has over 35 years of working with families and their little ones in different fields. Ways she supports families are connecting with baby prenatally, navigating birth (knowing now that the birth experience has a big impact on how our life unfolds and who we are), transitioning to parenthood, understanding postpartum recovery, boosting & (breast)feeding support, tips & tricks for less cry and more sleep, early brain development, and creating parenting habits with consciousness.

Her main focus is to help families as early as possible in their pregnancy, through birth, right after birth, reading their newborn’s body language, expressing feelings, and practice processing them. 

At birth, mothers unconsciously are triggered by their own birth experience. The postpartum recovery period can be tricky... mothers go through wild hormonal and emotional changes throughout this journey and adaptations. Infants as well bring with them memories from the womb and the birth, which sometimes are manifested with cry. And, Lactation can be hugely affected by the womb experience and the way birth navigates. 

Things I bring with me is modeling self-regulation, using tools like deep breathing and connection, helping the family, so mothers recover smoothly, and babies enjoy growing, feeling safe, loved, accepted, and understood, giving babies tools to keep wanting to explore and be able to learn.

Evidence has shown that womb ecology, and prenatal bonding and psychology are a huge fact on babies’ long term health. Families ideally are supported since the beginning of their pregnancy with information that can opening wider horizons and offer an optimal future for them and their babies.
