About me
Hi, I'm Karen! I'm a Certified Professional Birth and Postpartum Doula in the Raleigh area of beautiful North Carolina. I'd be honored to have the opportunity to get to know you and hear about your birth goals and desires. I became a doula so that I could support and empower both expecting and postpartum families to have better birthing experiences, to have the experience they not only desire but ultimately deserve to have. I received my doula certifications through the Madriella doula network in 2022. I'd be honored to have the opportunity to get to know you and hear about your birth goals and desires.
