Testimonial for Karen DeCarlo
Karen was my birth doula for my May 10 baby and I cannot recommend her enough! I had a long induction and her support throughout was invaluable to me. She was a reliable & amazing resource to have throughout my pregnancy - she is very well researched and always provided me with evidence-based information. She took time to fully understand all my questions and made sure to fully answer them, at times even doing additional research! She has a ton of resources under her belt that she shared with me for any questions I had, like podcasts, articles, books, etc. You can tell she is truly passionate about birth.
During labor, she provided the exact type of support I needed - emotional and physical! She was an amazing advocate for me and supported all my decisions, including my choice to get an epidural and get induced. No judgement whatsoever. She’s also familiar with a ton of movements and positions that she used to help my water break naturally and get baby into a better position for pushing!
Pushing was IMO the hardest part of my labor and Karen honestly got me through it and helped me process it after birth in our postpartum follow-up.
All this to say, Karen is amazing at what she does and a great person in general! I would recommend her to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again if I ever have another baby.
