ABOUT US
We started Lumos because we believe that families are stronger when they are able to navigate their own experiences and story.
We believe the seeds of social change are planted when families are able to empower themselves and feel supported in the process of growing their family.
Families who choose Lumos know they will be more grounded and confident as parents when they are surrounded by support, information, and community.

A loyal (long-suffering) Cubs fan, Jen can be found taking in a baseball game with her husband and son or out on a hike when not attending births. Levity is also important to Jen! She’ll probably crack a joke when you’re together and she’ll definitely cry alongside you when that babe is in your arms.
