New Mama Alert! As one who has enjoyed a decades-long friendship with Lori Greene, I can truly shout from the rooftops about her generous heart and her love for people (and especially babies!) Though my need-for-a-doula days are long over, I have felt the need for support from another human while experiencing a familial change, especially around the death of my mother. At that time, Lori offered the best of all worlds- actual hands-on help, care baskets of food, and cards with uplifting words of comfort. She was a quiet and gentle place for me to express ALL the feelings. Though losing a mom, and becoming one, are like night and day, they BOTH are familial changes that can elicit a myriad of unexpected emotions. Lori was led to serve in this way not only because she is a friend to me, but also because this is WHO SHE IS. Delivering meals to families who are having a difficult time, organizing her neighborhood gatherings, volunteering for more things than I can name here, and always there for her own family, she finds ways to express her kindness and life's purpose through outreach. Lori’s skills go beyond nurturing. She is a calming and non-judgmental presence when one feels vulnerable, and she doesn't hesitate to roll up her sleeves and quietly get things done in an organized and efficient manner.
Did I mention that she LOVES BABIES and their MAMAS?
Lori’s calling toward being a doula has been long reinforced in the life that she lived before being declared an official Licensed Postpartum Doula.
The “Fourth Trimester” is an exciting, exhilarating and exhausting time. Pamper yourself and your sweet babe with the love and care of Loli Doula, Lori Greene. It will feel like a much needed hug and you will be so glad you did!
