About

Meg Berg (she/her) is a Certified Lactation Counselor & Holistic Postpartum Doula. 

In 2019, her passion led her from her Brooklyn nest all the way to the South Pacific to obtain her doula certification at The Sacred Birthing School on the island of Kaua'i, Hawaii. During her time in Hawaii, Meg had contact hours with several prenatal and postnatal families. Her intimate hours with the local families lead her to understand the unsung impact postpartum care has on the dyad of mama & baby but also on the partner, older kids, grandparents, and others. 

Our modern society’s lack of postpartum support set her compass towards postpartum care with a concentration on feeding, birth experience processing through story sharing, and infant physical development. 

Meg’s had her boots on the ground, focusing her career on newborn care for the past 4 years in Brooklyn, NY. She has stayed connected to her Brooklyn birth community, apart from her 3-months adventure to Berlin, Germany to help a beloved client family move and settle into their new life!

Meg’s diverse training background will come in handy as you ride the waves of the your unique birth journey. Meg blends her training as a doula, Holistic Wellness Coach, and Lactation Counselor to assess a client’s emotional, physical, and spiritual needs on a day-to-day basis. Meg fanciest herself as a bit of a “situation chameleon,” swinging from a western medicine nurse persona, inspired by her lovely mother, to Lily Tomlin’s hippie/artist character, Frankie, from Grace and Frankie. Meg wants you to feel confident and comfortable in your time together and hopes to engage with you on a level that is supportive in every way.

Reflections from Clients

  • “Meg helped me to trust in my body as a birther and a mother as I journeyed towards and through pregnancy. We talked about ways I could center myself through both my diet and mindset to ensure baby would arrive earthside safely. As I prepared my body for breastfeeding, Meg made me feel supported, offered wisdom when necessary, and most importantly— she listened, and continues to do so. I know I can go to her with any question, and if she doesn’t have the answer, she’ll help me find it using evidence, insight, and intuition.”

    — Abby H-G.

  • “Meg is extremely caring, attentive and easy to coexist with in your personal space. She helped with light housework related to the little guy so I could actually rest when he was sleeping, which meant I was better equipped to make it through those sleepless nights with a newborn - she really helped us through such a transformative time. In addition, she is very knowledgeable in all things babies & persons who have babies and healing. I cant recommend her enough!”

  • I can not say enough positive things about Meg Berg. She is a caring individual who listens and supports you in a time when you are at your most vulnerable. Her calming influence truly helped me to relieve tension and anxiety before, during, and after labor. I appreciated her passion in education and how if she didn’t feel confident in her advice she would take the initiative to find answers for me. Since the birth of my daughter I have recommended Megan’s services to close friends of mine and would definitely have her by my side if I decided to have any more children."

    — Amanda A.

  • "Meg was my guardian angel during the height of the pandemic. I gave birth to my daughter in January 2021. I was pregnant with my first child during the most scary and uncertain part of the pandemic. Meg was not only knowledgeable about all of my prenatal concerns - including nutrition - but also counseled me through some of the tougher mental and emotional aspects of pregnancy and labor. Meg has such a calming, beautiful presence. She is a wonderful person and professional. I cannot recommend her enough!!!"

    — Suzanne S.

  • Megan supported me throughout my pregnancy from start until months and months postpartum, currently still is. Although Megan couldn’t be there with me during my delivery because of Covid and an unfortunate cesarean delivery, which she also helped me come to peace with how my son would enter this world given my desired unmedicated natural birth wasn’t my reality. She came to my house the day I got home from the hospital to offer her support and wisdom. Megan cooked me meals, made me hot tea and supported me when my milk came in. I recently turned to Megan again 8 months later when I thought about weaning my son from my breast. She informed me on the benefits that both me and my son get through breastfeeding and supported my breastfeeding journey when I came to terms that neither me or my son were ready to wean. .

  • “Meg was so warm and attentive with him. She helped with his developmental milestones by motivating him to crawl and provided lots of great "extras" like showing us how to give him a baby massage. Her spirited presence was fun for him to be around and he formed a very close attachment to her. Also, since she worked for us during Covid times, she was our only social contact for months and we enjoyed her presence. She's funny and always had an interesting story to share. We miss her!”

    — Devon M.

Meg honors modern medicine in her practice but believes there needs to be ample room in each birthing body for intuition to play a key role. One’s connection to their body should always be taken into account before, during, and after the birthing experience as medical concerns arise. The most exploited, ignored, and marginalized group in our society are black women. Black women are 3x more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women [CDC, 2022]. Systemic racism permeates our healthcare system and it is Meg’s belief that this must influence, instruct, & direct her birth work.

Love for a child is unconditional and knows no bounds.

Lunar Fruit Doula supports and welcomes persons of all genders, sexual identities, and bodies in their pursuit of creating a loving , educational, and stable home for the next generation.
