My name is Lucy Schanzer and I am a perinatal support person in Dallas, TX. What that really means is I help people take better care of themselves before, during and after pregnancy. Sometimes this looks like childbirth education, sometimes this looks like prenatal yoga or yoga for trauma and sometimes this looks like holding space in a new mom or PMAD support group. I am also a mother to a creative, spunky, sometimes a little too smart 5 year old daughter, a funny, charismatic, talk your ear off 3 year old son and expecting their baby sister. All of these roles allow me to wear many hats which continually inform each other. 

My journey as a perinatal support person is quite entwined with my journey into parenthood. I have learned, as most of us after being present for or first hand experiencing multiple births have, every pregnancy, every birth, every postpartum and every child is different. I believe knowledge is incredibly empowering, especially when met with open-mindedness and flexibility.
