Sarah Bradford
Founder & CEO
Sarah is a mother of two, the Founder & CEO of LUNA Mother Co, and a Certified Personal Trainer, Pre & Postnatal Exercise Specialist, Diastasis Recti & Core Rehabilitation Specialist, Female Athlete Coach, and Childbirth Educator. Through her own personal experiences with multiple rounds of IVF, miscarriage, pregnancies, births, and postpartum recoveries, Sarah was astounded by the lack of evidence-based information, resources, and support for people during such a transformational time. After being told by her own OBGYN that "peeing yourself after having kids is just part of motherhood" as well as that the only way to fix her diastasis recti was through surgery, Sarah was not willing to accept this and knew there had to be a better way. Through her own research, diligence, and the help of a pelvic floor physical therapist, Sarah was able to heal her core and pelvic floor.
Frustrated by the narrative that we are weaker after having children and left to feel as if we are broken, Sarah set out on a mission to reinvent the way people experience pregnancy and postpartum. She opened the first ever pre & postnatal fitness studio in Marin, CA in 2017. Shortly after opening, Sarah's in-person classes became highly sought after with waitlists to get in. Blown away by the response from her local community, Sarah decided to make what she believes to be fundamental information, education, resources, and support we all deserve more widely available and accessible to people all over the world. In 2020 with her then 5 year old son and newborn daughter in tow, Sarah launched LUNA's all-in-one virtual platform & mobile app. Now with a growing community of thousands of women & mothers from all over the world, LUNA is helping people feel stronger and more empowered as mothers than ever before.
"Our bodies are incredible and capable. I am stronger as a mother than I ever was before, and I am passionate about helping others become stronger as mothers too." xo,, Sarah

Nan Luma
LUNA Coach
Nan is a Movement+ Life Coach in the SF Bay Area. She helps people design their lifestyles in ways that are most congruent with their highest values. Originally from upstate New York, Nan began her career in the digital advertising industry in Manhattan, NY, just after graduating from SUNY Oswego in 2006. She completed her undergrad with a Bachelors Degree in Broadcasting & Mass Communication and fun fact: was the President of her sorority. After 7 years of “faking the funk” in the industry, Nan got real with herself and decided to let go of being in a job that didn’t fulfill her or speak to her purpose – and resigned. With the loving nudge from her Mentor at the time, Mastin Kipp, she continued on her new courageous path and left NYC for the west coast, where she began to pursue a career in neurocentric movement training in San Francisco, CA. Now, Nan is a full time Coach, with an emphasis on movement, helping people discover who they are and what really matters to them. "I believe that the body is a vehicle of expression and is meant to be moved."
Laura Oronzi
LUNA Coach
Laura's teaching path began when she took a yoga training in 2016. Though she never expected it to lead to anything beyond a deepened practice, she ended up with the gift of knowing she had to teach and it changed her entire life. Now a certified yoga, fitness and pilates instructor, motivating and connecting with others is Laura's absolute passion. She believes movement should be challenging, engaging and FUN, and her classes, playlists, and overall vibe reflect this philosophy. Laura's classes are challenging and welcoming with modifications offered to accommodate all levels, plus heartfelt encouragement to work at one’s own pace. When she's not teaching, you’ll likely find her laughing (or pulling her hair out) with her two boys Dylan (age 10) and Owen (age 7) in tow.
