TESTIMONIALS

“Where do I even begin? I met Luka at a course on Philippine ancestral and medicinal plants. Looking back, I don’t think it was by chance that our paths crossed. I remember telling her and two birth doulas that I had wished that I knew them when I was pregnant with my first child. I must have set something in motion because I later conceived shortly after that course!

After having a brutal postpartum recovery period with my first baby, I was left depleted physically, mentally, and emotionally. This time around I was intent on creating a more healing time post-delivery. Luka’s postpartum care was nothing short of restorative. She honored my desire to incorporate traditional postpartum foods and practices from our shared culture, helped me start my breastfeeding journey (something I wasn’t able to do before), and ensured that I slowed down and rested. The one thing I am most grateful for is Luka’s listening ear as I had to process my previous birth and postpartum in order to fully be present to heal from my current delivery. This was invaluable. After 4 weeks in her care, I couldn’t believe what a difference it made. At my 6-week check up, my midwives and nutritionist couldn’t believe the progress I made and how well I healed. If you are thinking of hiring a postpartum care provider, hire Luka without hesitation."
