Angela Lunz
My name is Angela Lunz and I am very excited and eager to be seeking doula certification. I feel humbled to have been chosen as a scholarship recepient, and come alongside Julie at the Labor of Love Doula Program. I am a devoted lover of the Lord, currently living in Russell, PA, with my German Shepherd Max, and two cats, Toby and Louie. I am overjoyed to start my doula journey, and to guide and empower families through such a miraculous transition. To be the hands and feet of Jesus with every family He blesses me with is a high honor!
Julie Thompson
My name is Julie Thompson and I am a mother of 4 ages 43 to 32! I also have six beautiful grandbabies ages 3 y.o, 6, 9, 10, 13 and 14. I love more than anything being called "Nana". I've been a birth doula for 26 years and it is so fun to see some of my babies at a get together and realize she/he is now a young woman or young man. Some of my "babies are married and some are having babies of their own. Incredible! I can never believe it has been that long ago because it always seems like it was just yesterday. Birth is a journey and each and every birth is precious to me. I feel it is such an honor to be a part of such an amazing time in a family's life. I want to serve women and their support persons to feel empowered at the end of their birth journey. I thank God for directing me to this work and I thank Him most of all for allowing me to serve each and every one of my families. As the Founder of Labor of Love Doula Program, I can't wait to see how He brings our Program to Life with each new birth! We have served around 90 clients since 2013. I am blessed to have served in Honduras, Mexico, and Africa also! I am also happy to announce that I am now a provider for the State of NY and PA so I can accept Medicaid clients!​

Mary Brown
My name is Mary Brown. I am married to my very best friend Anthony, and we have a combined total of seven children. One daughter and six sons. I gave birth to the daughter and three of those sons, and because of my experiences during those births, I am very passionate about educating and supporting women during their pregnancies and birth experiences!
I am the Director of the Women's Care Center of Warren, where we serve and support moms and dads in their pregnancy and parenting journeys. It's an honor for me to help empower women with the education they need to have a birth that they can look back on with joy.
I have been a hairdresser for 32 years and still enjoy expressing creativity through that work part time. I love to travel, ride our motorcycles, garden, hang out with our adult children, and just be at home with our fur babies. My family is my greatest gift in this life! I am excited to add the experience of being a doula to my list of things I love!
I served as a doula for this baby's mother, as well as the baby's grandmother, who was one of the very first mothers whose births I attended about 27 years ago.
