Karissa was the perfect person to have on my team while I was pregnant, prepping to have a baby, and also leading up to and through active labor. She's able to bring together her expertise on human body functions, birth experiences as a doula, and positive and supportive energy to make her the most well-rounded person that could have joined me on my journey. The whole experience feels like a blur now, but Karissa was there every step encouraging me to take a childbirth course, taught me how to focus my breathing, gave me workouts and breathing exercises to do through my 2nd and 3rd trimester, and was there for me when it came time to create a birth plan while also preparing for any and all scenarios that could be out of our control. Although my birth did not go as "planned", I felt prepared and still feel like it was a positive experience because Karissa was there to guide us through difficulty, hold my hand, support my husband, and validate our feelings when we encountered disappointment. We're so thankful for her and all she provided us with during this experience of becoming first time parents!
