Karen was a vital and cherished part of my birth team! As a military spouse living away from family, having a caring helper (and very experienced birth coach!) on the day of my birth made all the difference. We met several times before the birth and she helped me understand the process, what to expect, and what all of my options were. While she provided me with information, she did not judge any of my personal decisions. Once I went into labor, she came over to our house and helped me breathe through contractions. This was one of my favorite parts of having Karen as a doula. As a first time mom, the birth experience can be pretty intimidating. Knowing when to go to the hospital and if what you are feeling is normal can often cause first time moms to make decisions out of fear. Karen helped me through that process and we went to the hospital at the perfect time! At the hospital, she advocated for my birth plan and continued to help explain my options. After the birth, she continued to assist me through my struggles with breastfeeding. Karen is naturally kind and gentle, but also highly educated and experienced! I could not recommend her more!!
