Luna Adler

Luna has been fascinated by birth ever since she was privy to my sister’s homebirth at four years old. After witnessing her sister's journey through NYU’s midwifery program — many years later :) — she was inspired to embark on her own odyssey as a labor and birth doula. She is now a Brooklyn-based doula, serving clients throughout the boroughs. Luna has a background in writing, journalism, illustration, and research — all skills that rely on communication and interpersonal sensitivity. Her work has always been aided by her ability to listen, understand, and center the stories and needs of others. She strives to be a strong, empathetic, and client-centered communicator. As an athlete from a young age, Luna also understands the process of physically and emotionally preparing for a major event, caring for one’s body, and coaching from both sides of the “field.” She has been coached and knows how to coach—when to push someone, when to encourage them, and when to support rest. Luna believes that birth can — and should — be empowering, beautiful, and creative. Her job, as a doula, is to understand your birth vision and do everything in her power to help you realize it — while also supporting you in making informed decisions if and when the need arises. She is comfortable assisting you in a hospital, birth center, or homebirth setting. She also offers virtual support. Luna doesn't think there is any "right" way to birth and looks forward to elevating your voice and preferences as you embark on this journey.
