We so often are in search of magic, without realizing we have it right inside of ourselves. For me, becoming a mother has proven that to be true. Birthing Ancestors was created from the idea that when you have a child you are not only birthing a future generation, but you are also birthing yourself as a parent - someone’s ancestor. It is my greatest honor to holistically support you throughout every stage of your childbearing journey, and help you to discover the magic that has always been inside of you. Since becoming a certified Full Spectrum Doula in 2021, I have fallen deeply in love with this work. I have expanded my knowledge to support clients from fertility/preconception planning thru postpartum, with special interests in herbal and nutritional support. I also have 200hr yoga teacher certification giving me knowledge in anatomy, stretching and strengthening muscles, relaxation techniques, and preparing the body for labor.

Hi, I’m so thankful you’re here. My name is Kara, and I’m a prenatal, birth, and postpartum doula who views this work as a sacred calling—an opportunity to walk alongside families as they enter one of life’s most sacred seasons.

Whether you desire prayer, quiet presence, or a reassuring voice during labor, as your doula, my role is not just physical or emotional—I am here to pray with you, speak life over you, and remind you of the promises God has spoken over your motherhood. It would be an honor to walk this path with you.

As a dedicated and supportive mother, my goal is to help you take a step back and truly take hold of each moment of your labor. I believe in empowering you to make the choices that feel right for you as your birth journey unfolds. Your birth story should be a beautiful reflection of your experience and the role you play. I live by a simple yet profound motto: “The mother deserves to be cherished and celebrated, the baby deserves to be embraced and revered, and the space around them is sacred and should be honored.” Together, let's create an atmosphere that nurtures all of this. I am a birth doula who equally specializes in all birth outcomes. I delivered my son who was incompatible with life and it opened my eyes to the need of bereavement doulas as well as birth doulas.
