Karly DeGarmo - Postpartum Doula

About Karly

Welcome to Grow in Grace Doula Care! I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a wife, new boy mom, and pediatric registered nurse based in Queen Creek, Arizona. With three years of pediatric nursing experience, I have always had a special love for taking care of little ones. My true passion lies in supporting new moms and babies, which is why I fell in love with postpartum doula care after the birth of my son. Having been supported by both labor and postpartum doulas during my birth and recovery, I can honestly say my experience would have been vastly different without their care. I believe birth and postpartum are natural and beautiful events in which every woman should feel empowered and protected. That's why my goal is to provide loving, non-judgmental care to all expecting parents, helping them experience the grace and joy that comes with their new baby! At home, I enjoy a full and joyful life with my husband, son, two dogs, and our rabbit. Outside of my doula work, my perfect day includes reading my Bible while sipping on an iced coffee or matcha, spending time outside in the sun and grass, hanging out with my family, and podcasting!

Karly was such a valuable resource in the postpartum period. I got the opportunity to work with her when my little one was 2 months old and she helped me with feeding concerns, practicing our physical therapy exercises for my little one’s torticolis, and household chores! She was also a great listener and very empathetic when I told her about my complications after birth and how they had affected my mental health. She is such a sweet and knowledgeable person. I would recommend all pregnant mamas, experienced or not, utilizing Karly for postpartum care.

Frequently asked questions

When can I benefit the most from a postpartum doula?

You can benefit the most from a postpartum doula during the early weeks and months following the birth of your baby. This period, often referred to as the "fourth trimester," is a crucial time for recovery, adjustment, and bonding. Here are some specific way a postpartum doula can help: Immediately After Birth: In the first few days and weeks postpartum, a doula can provide essential support as you recover from childbirth and begin to care for your newborn. This includes help with breastfeeding, understanding newborn behavior, and managing the emotional highs and lows that often accompany this period. First Few Weeks at Home: As you transition from hospital to home, a doula can assist with establishing routines, ensuring you get adequate rest, and providing practical help with household tasks so you can focus on healing and bonding with your baby.

How much does a postpartum doula cost?

I charge by the hour for my services. I require a minimum of 4 hours to be scheduled Monday-Saturday, excluding holidays. My pricing page provides specifics on my pricing. If none of these packages work for you financially, please contact me and we can create a custom plan that fits your budget!

Can I create a custom service package?

Yes! If you would like to create your own custom package I would love to chat with you! I will work with you and your schedule to create a package that is perfect for your needs.

How often does a postpartum doula come?

This is completely up to the family! I will chat with you during the free consultation and evaluate what services you need and how often you need the support. Generally here are examples of when certain schedules would be helpful: Daily Visits: In the initial days and weeks after birth, some families opt for daily visits to receive consistent support as they adjust to life with a newborn and as the mother recovers from childbirth. Several Times a Week: Many families find it helpful to have the doula visit several times a week, especially during the first month postpartum. This schedule provides regular assistance and guidance while allowing the family some independent time to adapt. Weekly Visits: For those who need less intensive support, weekly visits may suffice. These visits can help address ongoing questions, provide emotional support, and ensure everything is progressing smoothly. Overnight Support: Some postpartum doulas offer overnight services to help parents get more rest. This can be particularly beneficial in the first few weeks when sleep deprivation is most challenging. I am unfortunately not booking overnight clients at this time but please feel free to contact me still, as I have recommendations for great postpartum doulas that do overnight shifts. As Needed: I offer flexible scheduling based on your family's needs. This might mean more frequent visits initially, tapering off as your family becomes more comfortable and confident.

Can I gift your services to someone else?

This would make a wonderful baby shower or after birth gift for your wives, friends, sisters, etc. You can purchase one day or multiple days and I will provide you with a printable certificate detailing the gift. Once the new mom is informed, I will contact her to gather more information and schedule tentative dates on my calendar.
