About me

Hi, I’m Carla , the founder of Empowered Peace Birth Services—and I’m here to support, educate, and empower you through one of life’s most transformative journeys! As a Certified Birth Doula, Certified Lactation Educator, Childbirth Educator, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, and Holistic Wellness advocate, I bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and heart into every birth space. I believe that birth is sacred, powerful, and deeply personal. Whether you’re seeking guidance through pregnancy, birth, or postpartum, I’m here to provide judgment-free, evidence-based, and holistic support tailored to your unique needs. My passion for birth activism and holistic living means I’ll help you make informed choices, advocate for your rights, and create a birth experience that aligns with your values.
