When I think back on my birth and postpartum journey, Karmen Johnson’s name shines brightly as one of the most pivotal and comforting presences in my experience. From the very first moment we connected, Karmen exuded warmth, understanding, and a deep passion for her work. She immediately made me feel seen, heard, and supported in a way I didn’t even know I needed.
As my doula, Karmen provided not just practical knowledge but also emotional reassurance that carried me through the most vulnerable and transformative moments of my life. She was there calmly guiding me, offering comfort measures, and reminding me of my own strength when I started being hard on myself about my healing journey. Her presence brought an indescribable sense of peace to both me and my partner, who also felt incredibly supported under her care.
During The postpartum period (can feel overwhelming and isolating) she checked in regularly, offering both physical help and heartfelt emotional support. Whether it was helping me with breastfeeding challenges, reassuring me through moments of doubt, or simply being a listening ear during late-night talks, Karmen made me feel like I wasn’t alone. She became an integral part of our family’s story, and I can’t recommend her enough to any parent seeking someone who will walk beside them with grace, expertise, and a heart full of love.
If you’re fortunate enough to work with Karmen, know that you’ll not only gain a doula but a lifelong advocate, cheerleader, and friend.
