Carter Hake Birth & Postpartum Doula in Urbandale, IA
About Carter
My name is Carter and I'm a certified birth and postpartum doula. My journey started when I had my son, and had a doula with him. He was in the NICU 76 days. During which time I had a lot of time to reflect on my birth, and how much I appreciated having a doula with me. I wanted to help families this way, and shift a change from working in mental health services. My doula style is one that puts emphasis on knowledge, empowerment, and advocacy. My service is rooted in the belief that every family deserves to feel informed, empowered, and supported navigating the incredible world of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. I am here to give compassionate support for your family throughout this transformative time. I am honored to be a part of your journey and look forward to supporting you and your family with the care and respect you deserve.
