I highly recommend Karen Goins as a postpartum doula! She was punctual, reliable, and always ready with thoughtful, compassionate support. Her newborn care knowledge was invaluable—she guided me through everything and offered so many helpful breastfeeding tips, which made a huge difference.

Beyond her expertise, Karen provided the warm presence and emotional support I needed as a new mom. I felt completely safe leaving my newborn son in her care, allowing me to get some much-needed rest and enjoy a relaxing shower—things that seemed impossible before.

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and has the expertise to support you in those early days, Karen is the one. She was a lifesaver, and I would highly recommend her to any new parent!

The massages and steams were rejuvenating and essential for my recovery, while her nutritious and delicious meal service provided the energy and nourishment I needed.

Karen's dedication, compassion, and expertise made a significant difference in my well-being during this transformative time. For anyone seeking outstanding postpartum care, Karen is the perfect choice!

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Karen Goins as an exceptional postpartum doula. My family had the privilege of working with Karen following the birth of our child, and her support, expertise, and compassionate care made an immeasurable difference in our postpartum experience.

Karen's approach to postpartum care is deeply rooted in Ayurvedic practices, which we found to be incredibly nurturing and healing. She provided personalized guidance on nutrition, incorporating Ayurvedic principles that promoted my recovery and well-being. Her knowledge of Ayurvedic herbs and remedies was invaluable, helping to ease postpartum discomforts and enhance my energy levels.

Beyond her expertise in Ayurveda, Karen also impressed us with her ability to connect us with a network of outstanding professionals. She referred us to a lactation consultant who was instrumental in helping me establish a successful breastfeeding routine. Each referral Karen provided was of the highest quality, and these professionals contributed significantly to our family's overall well-being.

Karen's presence in our home was calming and reassuring. She offered practical support, such as assisting with newborn care and household tasks, which allowed me to focus on recovery and bonding with my baby. Her empathetic and patient nature made it easy to communicate our needs and concerns, and she always responded with thoughtful and knowledgeable advice.

In conclusion, Karen is an outstanding postpartum doula who brings a unique blend of Ayurvedic wisdom and a network of excellent professional referrals. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care for our family made a profound impact during a crucial time in our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking comprehensive and compassionate postpartum support.

Karen stayed with us full time while we were in the US. Karen started the day our daughter was born and helped us set up her room, take me through what I needed to do and know (first time mum) from day one. Very tidy, wonderful carer for our daughter, pleasure to live with. I'd have no hesitation recommending Karen.
