Karen is absolutely amazing - very knowledgeable, and so kind and compassionate. I highly recommend her! She gave me trust: trust in myself and also trust in her - I knew I was in good hands - which are both so important in the process of giving life. Her support was excellent, from start to finish, and also on all levels, whether physical, mental or emotional. She made sure I was at my best for the birth, as we were able to detect and fix imbalances during the pregnancy. I really appreciated how she blends modern medicine with alternative and natural remedies, and also all the recommendations of books and resources she provided to educate myself. All the postpartum support was perfect too, she actively followed up on my baby's and my own health and well-being. I feel like my words are not enough to describe how grateful I am that she was my midwife. Thank you for everything, Karen!

I'm a midwife who found her calling after the births of her children. Truly a life changing experience it formed and shaped my practice and made me into the provider I am. Always learning and growing it's such a privilege to serve all families as they welcome the birth of a child. I homeschool my kids and love to read and raise ducks and geese on the side. Hiking and traveling with my kids is my other passion and as babies allow we travel the US and I get to share the beautiful country we live in with my kids via road trips and National Parks.

Mya was my midwife for the birth of my daughter in August of 2025. I had an amazing experience with her, from beginning to end! She was very knowledgeable about the whole birth process, explained everything thoroughly, and was kind and understanding when I expressed any concerns. After a very intense labor, we ended up having to transfer to the hospital due to lack of progression. My baby had her cord wrapped around her neck several times, which caused a number of complications. Mya stayed by my bedside the entire time, to help me advocate for what I needed. Even in these deviations from our original birth plan, she brought the confidence and knowledge I needed to make the best decisions for me and my baby. I am so thankful Mya was my midwife! I cannot imagine what my birth would have been like without her. I definitely plan on using her again in the future as we expand our family. If you are looking for a compassionate, thorough, well-trained midwife, Mya is the one for you!

Hello everyone! My passion for childbirth support stems from my own personal experiences as a mother. I understand firsthand the intense emotions and physical challenges that come with bringing new life into the world. My experience allows me to provide personalized care to each family, ensuring they feel empowered and supported throughout the entire process. As a luxury doula, I understand that my services extend far beyond traditional birthing support. I approach each family with a holistic perspective, providing not only physical support during childbirth; but also emotional and mental support throughout the pregnancy and postpartum period. As a seasoned mother, I have had the pleasure of experiencing childbirth in a variety of settings. With each birth, I had different preferences, needs, and desires for my delivery experience. After my last son was born I knew I wanted to cater to all birthing people and their partners. To be able to experience a natural positive birth as I did was a pure luxury to me. I had a vision of what more I could offer to birthing people and I can’t wait to bring my vision to life with each and every one of you! My first childbirth experience was at a hospital. As a first-time mom, I wanted the security and reassurance provided by medical professionals, and the hospital seemed like the safest choice. I appreciated the access to advanced medical technology, the availability of an epidural, and the presence of nurses and doctors to guide me through the process. Although I appreciated them if I would have known what I know now, or had the luxury of affording a doula I know my choices would have been a little different. The hospital setting did give me anxiety and being uninformed did not help with that at all. My second childbirth experience was at a birthing center. At this point, I was more confident in my ability to give birth and sought a more natural and calming environment. The staff at the birthing center provided a homier atmosphere with dimmed lights and soothing music. I felt more in control of my delivery and was able to move around freely, switch between different positions, and use a birthing tub. I was able to use the power of hypnobirthing during my second childbirth experience and it was truly life-changing. For the entire labor process, I felt absolutely no pain at all. The personalized care and attention given to me and my family were exceptional in the birthing center especially with them listening to me advocate for myself and my body. My third and last childbirth experience was at home. By this time, I had a strong desire for a true home birth experience. My home birth was the absolute most empowering moment of my life. I was surrounded by family only up until my transition phase in which my husband called my own personal Doula over and she gracefully helped me out of that last phase and to slowly breathe my baby out. My dedication to my clients is unwavering, and I am committed to helping you achieve a positive, safe, and fulfilling birth experience. With me as your luxury doula, you can rest assured that you and your family will receive exceptional care, support, and guidance every step of the way.

Our family had a wonderful experience working with Kaitlyn! She has such a warm, vibrant personality and she is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about all things pregnancy and birth. She not only guides you in logistics of birth planning, but also in creating a vision for your birth experience (then helps bring it to life on the big day!). Her support during labor was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. I had a very fast and intense labor and her presence was so grounding and encouraging. Love that her services continue into the postpartum period as well! She was an invaluable part of our team and I couldn’t imagine my birth without her! Would highly recommend

Kaley was awesome! She was super attentive/easy to reach out to my whole pregnancy with questions/concerns and regularly checked in herself to ask questions and see how I was doing. She has such a wide range of knowledge on pregnancy and birth and was the best person to have with us for our birth! She was there for our birth as soon as she could be and advocated/asked questions for me where needed and helped make sure my birth plan was followed as much as it could be! Even just having her there to talk to during the wait between epidural and delivery made the whole experience so much better :) We love Kaley and would have her again as our doula in a heartbeat!

— Tiffany P., review of Kaley Fry

September 2026

Kaley is exactly the compassionate and competent doula you want at your birth! She is encouraging and knows just how to walk you through the process of prelabor, labor, and post labor. She was comfortable with the hospital setting and staff, and I felt like I could leave her and my husband with my birth plan and let them communicate my needs and preferences during labor even when I was in too much pain to express myself. Kaley made me feel safe and supported during my birth, and I would recommend her to any woman wanting a caring presence at her birth.

— Cathleen S., review of Kaley Fry

July 2026

I am writing this review as a WARNING to all expectant moms, especially first time mothers. I would give Johrdan 0 stars if allowed here. I apologize in advance for the length of this review. It has been a horrible process dealing with Johrdan's scams and if you want an honest review of her services from someone who has actually used her business, then mine is the one. We met with Johrdan for a consultation in mid March '25, about a month after I found out that I was pregnant. She spoke of glorious experiences during her own birth, how she would support us throughout our pregnancy, doesn't matter the time. One thing she did note in our consult, which in hindsight we should have known she was bad news, is that if any "problems arise then we should all be able to talk about it like adults" because she is all about "good vibes and good energy, and big on communication" and that's how she likes to maintain her business relationships. Lies. Now we are not rich AT ALL. My partner works a minimum wage job and I was a teacher assistant and student on medicaid. We paid Johrdan in full $1200 at the signing of the contract. BIG MISTAKE. (I found out from my midwives later after telling them what Johrdan has put us through that doulas in our area usually do not accept full payment. It is often half up front and half after the baby is born). The most important points that Johrdan breached in our contract outlined 4 prenatal visits and response to texts and calls within 3 hrs in the first 37 weeks. She ONLY met with us again on March 31st after the consult. What followed from then until I told her we would be terminating our contract with her in July was: a series of sparsely answered texts coming within weeks of us reaching out; unfulfilled promises to share information outside of some pictures taken on a phone of papers with bullet points about what to expect from pregnancy and birth lol that we could have and did find on our own on the first page of a google search; emails sent to the wrong addresses over the course of months; standing us up on appointments twice with no notice or word until WE contacted her; and FINALLY ghosting us without refunding our money for lack of service. Throughout all of this, she wouldn't respond to messages for weeks at a time and then called literally twice to laugh and say "girl, I've just been so busy," promise to send information and then not do it until we would ask about it days later, only to send it days after the inquiry. The second and final time she called (out of our entire contract with her) it was to say she'd send her birth plan template, one that ended up being an online template from Earth Mama Organics. she never sent it until I asked again then she set up an appointment which she stood us up for without word. then she stood us up again at the one she rescheduled after standing us up! She had the audacity to ask for another chance to be a better doula for us because she *quit* her job. We said no of course but then we found out that she posted a gofundme for herself alleging that she *lost* her job and has exhausted all of her resources (one of them actually being the money she stole from us) so she needs help getting money for her custody battle. I am not here to judge for that, I am more concerned with why she wasn't upfront that she could not fulfill the duties we paid her for, refunded our money and then we could have all went about our ways. Instead, she ghosted us with our money and added on to an extremely stressful time in my pregnancy that eventually sent me into preterm labor at 35weeks. This was a YEAR ago. To this day she refuses to answer us back with even a plan of how she will pay us back, as is outlined in her contract. Dealing with Johrdan has not at all been a luxury experience. It has been unprofessional at least and a complete scam at most. DO NOT, for any reason, choose Johrdan's business for your doula services. You will be disappointed. She has a lot of maturing before she is able to extend trust to her clients. Please do not find yourself and your family in the predicament we are still in with her now.
