About me

My name is Kara and I am a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula through Madriella Doula Network. I have 10 years of personal experience in prenatal, postnatal, and childbirth care. I am very excited to begin my professional career in the field. I have 6 beautiful children of my own and have had many different birth experiences, including my last two births being at home and my youngest child joining our family through adoption. My passion for helping women and their families during this special time in their lives is what drives me. I want to be able to help women from pregnancy to birth and beyond in a way what best supports them and empowers them to be the best mothers they can be.
