I feel so lucky to have found Karena to be my doula. I am new to Georgia and knew I wanted a doula to navigate the health system here (which does not have the greatest reputation when it comes to maternal health outcomes). I spoke with several doulas but Karena was the only one I immediately felt comfortable with. She is highly organized, efficient, responsive, and very calm (important for a high-stress person such as myself)! We had several meetings before my due date, including a session where she taught both my husband and I comfort techniques to use during delivery. This was SO essential because my labor ended up being very rapid (with no time for an epidural) and my husband and I relied on all the techniques that Karena showed us to minimize my pain. Karena was able to join for delivery and was such a calming presence. I am very grateful that I found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for support before, during, and after delivery. I will definitely be reaching out to her again if we have another child.
