Lorena is the founder of A Natural Minded Mama and a holistic doula who supports families through the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with a compassionate, evidence-informed, and family-centered approach. Based in the Charleston, South Carolina area, she brings a diverse skill set that blends perinatal support with photography/videography and movement instruction, helping families feel confident, informed, and empowered throughout their experience.

Her philosophy centers on informed consent, respectful care, and personalized support tailored to each family’s values and needs. She offers guidance before, during, and after childbirth, helping families navigate choices with clarity and confidence.
In addition to doula support, Lorena shares resources and education on topics such as breastfeeding, babywearing, cloth diapering, postpartum care, moon cycle care, herbal support, and other holistic parenting practices. Her work is rooted in making natural lifestyle options accessible, practical, and meaningful for families in real life.
