Hi! I’m Karla; Student Midwife, DONA Certified Doula, artist, wife, mom to 12, and grandmother to 9 (with 3 more grandbabies expected summer of 2025). I have many years of experience in pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and childraising. Since having my first child and going into it knowing very little about labor and delivery, I’ve become very passionate about pregnancy and birth. Personally, I’ve experienced a variety of births, from natural, physiological births, an induction, several epidurals, to two cesarean sections, 6 VBACs, and a VBA2C. I have also completed the DONA International training for doulas, and am certified with DONA.
Every birth comes with its unique story, and I’ve been fortunate to have had wonderful support even through the more difficult births. I would love to provide that support to others during their pregnancies, births, and postpartum, using my experiences, years of learning about birth, and professional doula training. Pregnancy and birth continue to fascinate me, especially bodywork, real food nutrition, and the unique needs moms of many have. In my spare time, I love creating art and always have a few house and yard projects going on. I look forward to helping you create a plan and prepare for a positive birth and postpartum experience!
