Carmen Johnson

I truly cannot imagine my birth experience without Carmen! Hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions I made. From pregnancy through postpartum, she cared for me in a way that felt both professional and deeply personal. During pregnancy, she checked in often, answered my questions with patience, and helped me feel calm and prepared instead of anxious and overwhelmed. During labor, she was steady, grounded, and completely tuned in to me. She basically took the lead on positioning me and guiding my movements in the hospital. She was constantly adjusting me into thoughtful, intentional positions that helped my labor progress and the nurses were following her suggestions. That gave me so much confidence. I didn’t have to think. I didn’t have to manage anything. I could just focus on resting and trusting the process because she was fully present and advocating for what my body needed!! And then postpartum… she didn’t disappear. She showed up. She nurtured. She cared. She even made the most amazing dinner for my family that we all enjoyed which, as a newly postpartum mom, felt like the biggest gift!! It wasn’t just about birth support. It was about being mothered while I was becoming a mother again. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, calm, non-judgmental, and truly in your corner no matter what your birth looks like she is that person. I felt safe and supported, and TRULY nurtured every step of the way. I’m so grateful for her!!!🤍

I cannot recommend Carmen enough! Her calm presence and support is unmatched. If you are looking for someone with an immense amount of knowledge, warm caring heart, and all star to add to your pregnancy journey/birthing team you’re in the right place!

Carmen is a peaceful spirit. Her knowledge of the birth process and belief in the natural power of a woman’s body makes her the perfect birth support for a woman and her partner. When times got tough and stressful, I could count on her to help my partner and I see what we needed to do. When we needed an advocate to support our birth plan, she was gentle but firm. She is truly everything you want in a doula.
