I am beyond grateful for the incredible support and guidance I received from Dana in the early days of my breastfeeding journey. Right after birth, we faced several challenges—including low milk production, latch difficulties, my baby’s slow weight gain, and eventually a diagnosis of cow’s milk protein intolerance. Through it all, Dana met us with patience, encouragement, and genuine compassion. She not only offered practical solutions and expert knowledge, but also created a space where I felt heard and supported during a vulnerable and emotional time. Her presence helped me build the confidence I needed to keep going, even when it all felt incredibly overwhelming. Now, nearly 10 months later, I’m so proud to say we are still breastfeeding—and thriving. The benefits to both me and my baby have been remarkable: a deep bond, strong immunity for my little one, and significant cost savings (especially considering how expensive hypoallergenic formulas are!). I truly believe we wouldn’t be where we are today without Dana’s dedication and support.

Babies have always been my passion! Like Tisha said, I always knew my career would be working with babies. I applied to nursing school knowing I was going to work in OB and that's exactly what I did. After having my first child in 2014 I realized the need for more lactation consultants. I struggled a lot with him and had no one to turn to for answers, so I began doing my own research. I was determined to make this work. And that is how my lactation career started! I started my lactation training not even knowing if I would be able to get a job doing what I had become so passionate about. My family and I made some life changes and everything fell right into place. Tisha and I always casually talked about starting a business but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen. But here we are! I absolutely love my job and could talk about breastfeeding all day long. I strive to do everything I can to help each mom meet their personal breastfeeding goals. I am very passionate about tongue ties and food allergies in breastfeeding since I personally experienced that with my 2 nursing journeys. Breastfeeding does not come naturally for everyone and it definitely isn't as easy as some think. That's why I have made it my life mission to educate every mom and give them all the tools and support needed to be successful!

Karmen Johnson

Hi, I’m Karmen Johnson, and I’m passionate about supporting women through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys. My own health challenges, including my diagnosis of premature ovarian failure, inspired me to focus on empowering others to feel informed, confident, and cared for during one of life’s most transformative experiences. As a doula, I combine my personal experiences with my professional background to provide holistic, compassionate care. I earned my Master’s in Food and Nutritional Science at Tuskegee University, which deepens my understanding of prenatal and postpartum health. My experience in nutrition education and plant-based living allows me to offer guidance on how to nourish your body and mind during this special time. I take pride in creating a calm and empowering atmosphere where you feel supported and respected. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or adding to your family, my goal is to honor your unique vision for your experience. Why I’d Be a Great Fit as Your Doula • Empathy and Advocacy: My personal journey has shaped my commitment to being a strong advocate for you and your needs. • Holistic Support: With my background in nutrition and wellness, I offer practical guidance to help you feel your best throughout your pregnancy and beyond. • Calming and Supportive Presence: I’m here to create a peaceful, empowering environment where you feel heard and cared for. • Personalized Care: I listen to your needs and preferences to help you create a birth plan that reflects your values and ensures your voice is always at the center. I’d be honored to support you on your journey and help you feel confident every step

When I think back on my birth and postpartum journey, Karmen Johnson’s name shines brightly as one of the most pivotal and comforting presences in my experience. From the very first moment we connected, Karmen exuded warmth, understanding, and a deep passion for her work. She immediately made me feel seen, heard, and supported in a way I didn’t even know I needed. As my doula, Karmen provided not just practical knowledge but also emotional reassurance that carried me through the most vulnerable and transformative moments of my life. She was there calmly guiding me, offering comfort measures, and reminding me of my own strength when I started being hard on myself about my healing journey. Her presence brought an indescribable sense of peace to both me and my partner, who also felt incredibly supported under her care. During The postpartum period (can feel overwhelming and isolating) she checked in regularly, offering both physical help and heartfelt emotional support. Whether it was helping me with breastfeeding challenges, reassuring me through moments of doubt, or simply being a listening ear during late-night talks, Karmen made me feel like I wasn’t alone. She became an integral part of our family’s story, and I can’t recommend her enough to any parent seeking someone who will walk beside them with grace, expertise, and a heart full of love. If you’re fortunate enough to work with Karmen, know that you’ll not only gain a doula but a lifelong advocate, cheerleader, and friend.

I met Jill when my first child was only a few weeks old. Her knowledge, patience, and guidance saved my breastfeeding journey with both of my children. She's kind, attentive, and supportive and has a heart to help women achieve their pregnancy, labor, birth, and breastfeeding goals.
