Maternal care for black women with Mars Lord

About Mars Lord

Mars Lord is passionate about birth and about women having and making informed choices. She became a doula because believed that birth is a wonderful thing and can be a wonderful time. As a mother of 5 (including twins) she know that even when it doesn’t seem to go the way that we want it to, it can still be an incredible experience. It should be your incredible experience.

Mars has a special place in my heart for clients who:

• Love a good glass of red and a great meal
• Love to laugh and talk
• Love to sing and dance
• Love to look outside the box
• Love a good book
• Love the theatre
