Lora Schnurr CD, PCD, SBD, CLS

Lora has been serving families since 2016 as a Doula. She prides herself in being multifaceted and is certified in Birth, Postpartum, Bereavement, and Lactation. While supporting families throughout Northeast Indiana before, during, and after the birth of a baby or babies, she believes that her responsibility as a doula is "mothering the mother." This means that the bulk of her attention is focused on the education, needs, journey, and recovery of the mother, helping with newborn care, and lactation while also striving to answer the questions of and support husbands/partners, and the family unit.

Lora has been described as hospitable, nurturing, observant, honest, respectful and sensitive by nature, and finds joy in being an educator and companion to women and their families. She provides non-medical, non-judgmental care, and is a valuable asset to your perinatal and/or postnatal team and serves her clients in hospitals, birthing centers, and homes.

“Doula” is an Ancient Greek word meaning "a woman who serves." Doulas provide emotional, physical, and informational support.

Examples of emotional support are unbiased affirmation, continuous presence, praise, mirroring, working through fear, visualization, and debriefing. Examples of physical support are providing pain relief through touch, massage, counter pressure, hydrotherapy, movement, position changes, and information on meeting nutritional needs. Examples of informational support are resources and evidence-based information, area providers and services, alternative helps, printed and online recommendations.
