We had the pleasure of working with Karla for nighttime support over the past eight weeks, and we couldn't be more grateful. She brought a calming presence, and helping us get much-needed rest. Karla was reliable, nurturing, and truly made a difference in our early parenting journey. Highly recommend her to any new family!

Sin ti, no lo habría logrado; sin ti, no habría hecho realidad el mayor sueño de mi vida: un parto tranquilo y sin intervenciones.<br>Karla nos brindó información, animó a mi esposo y nos dio confianza y fuerza durante este momento intenso y emotivo. Tiene manos angelicales, manos cálidas, y siempre está lista para el mejor masaje. Tiene una voz dulce y tranquila. Nos anima a creer que somos capaces, llena de paz y ama lo que hace. Lleva consigo aceites esenciales, un ventilador y un dulce, y siempre los usa en los momentos ideales para ayudarnos a aliviar el dolor. Karla fue y es MARAVILLOSA. Una excelente profesional y una mujer increíble.<br>Te admiro! Me alegra mucho que nuestros caminos se hayan cruzado. Solo puedo agradecerte muchísimo por el apoyo durante el final del embarazo, el parto, el posparto, la lactancia y la introducción del biberón.<br>Embarazadas, su canastilla necesita información, necesita una doula, necesita a Karla.

Karla helped with my second baby, this was the first time. I was looking for a doula but it was too expensive, then I got a recommendation in Facebook to connect with Karla. She offered me a flexible plan and also she is from my home country. She is a mom of 3, so I knew she was the right person, with knowledge and experience as well. It was the best decision ever, having a doula during labor can make a difference in the experience. She was always available for my questions, even related to other aspects of motherhood. During labor she came on time, she was very warm and friendly, she gave me emotional support and also she guided me how to engage with contractions and the pain, she shared with me useful tips even after birth, she suggested positions and exercises that helped me during labor! It was an amazing experience! I strongly recommend Karla as Doula! Thank you Karla!

Karla was amazing! She took great care of me before and after birth. On the day of my birth, she was super attentive, even though my birth was a C-section at the end. In the first few weeks, she helped me with my son's sleep, gave me guidance and came to my house. I am extremely grateful and highly recommend her!

I'm so glad Birth Mark Support connected me with Karla. She's gentle, calming, knowledgeable, proactive—everything you hope a doula to be! She gave me so much confidence in my ability to breastfeed my baby despite the different struggles that came up early on. My partner and I especially appreciated the times she came over to hold our baby to give us a much-needed break—we felt very cared for.
