18 • Lorena Garcia LIVE in Phoenix - Two Miscarriages from MTHFR, Birthing & Post Partum Stories

11/13/18 • 44 min

Lorena Garcia was born and raised in Mexico City and comes from a culture that revolves around community and family. Lorena shares with us her full journey into parenthood - from the heartbreak of her first two miscarriages to finding joy and ease through her postpartum choices.

Lorena's postpartum experiences combined with her deep Mexican heritage (that put emphasis on taking care of the new mother is a priority) became the impetus for becoming a "mompreneur" and creating Majka, wholesome nutrition for motherhood.

Join us for an hour of heartbreak, joy and a few good laughs.
