Jeanna Lurie, Program Manager

Blossom's Program Manager, Jeanna Lurie, RYT, CCE, CLA has been working in the local birth community for more than six years. She first came to Blossom in 2003 for a meeting to brainstorm ways of promoting evidence-based maternity care in the area, as defined by the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS). Just two years later, she joined Blossom's staff as a prenatal yoga instructor, combining her passion for supporting women in the childbearing year with her devotion to yoga. Jeanna sees an amazing parallel between the experience of an intense yoga practice and the challenges of parenthood and hopes to inspire her students to bring their yoga practice off the mat and into their parenting journey. She feels blessed to serve Blossom's community as part of the administrative team since 2007. Jeanna has also served as President of Bay Area Birth Information, is an ALACE-trained doula and childbirth educator, and has Level I midwifery training from the Farm in Tennessee. Most of all, she is the mother of a beautiful daughter born in 2001 and a sweet baby boy born in 2008.
