Liz Kelly (she/her) is the owner and founder of Mother Luna and a certified motherhood coach. Her own motherhood journey, with its many ups and downs, inspired her to create a nurturing space for mothers to embrace the transformative experience of matrescence—the profound transition into motherhood.

During her second pregnancy, Liz experienced postpartum anxiety and psychosis. It wasn’t until she found her village—supportive people, a safe space, and the right resources—that she began to heal. From that healing, Liz made it her mission to create the kind of space she had needed in those vulnerable early days—a place where mothers can find community, compassion, and care.

This vision inspired her to gather perinatal experts under one roof at Mother Luna, offering mothers a place to laugh, cry, and receive the support they truly deserve.

Liz holds a Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s in Education. With years of experience as an early childhood educator, she has worked with Pre-K, Kindergarten, ELL, and nature-based parent & me classes.

She is also an accredited Mama Rising Facilitator, having studied with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz through her Mama Rising program, the only ICF-recognized coaching training based on the unique insight of matrescence and motherhood.
