Having a baby is hard work…

From healing, adjusting, and navigating all the "new" in parenthood, having a baby is a lot. While it’s true that babies don't come with a manual, there is another truth you hear less often: pregnancy and birth don’t come with a manual, either.

Pregnancy is one of the largest changes your body can go through, culminating in a birth that you can’t predict. The process can be daunting, especially since it comes at a time when you may be physically exhausted. Having someone to walk you through this stage with knowledge and experience can relieve stress and help you move toward parenthood confidently.

We'll hold your hand through all the unknowns!

Doulas are the people who hold your hand through all the unknowns, stresses, and joys of childbearing and childrearing.

Our job is not to simply help you get through birth, but to walk with you from pregnancy through postpartum as you become a parent.

kind words

Every woman deserves a doula like Karriane!

" I am truly grateful for Karriane's presence at our home birth! Her soothing voice as she coached me through making low sounds during contractions when I'd forget, when she and my husband took turns using counter pressure on my hips during each wave, and her words of discernment gave us the knowledge and safety to make the best decision for our family through birth and postpartum! I could go on and on with how much I value her skill, professionalism, and compassion. Every new in seasoned mother to be deserves a doula like Karriane in their lives!"

Rachel and Grant G.
She helped me not to give up!

"Karriane encouraged my husband and I throughout the whole experience. She told me how good I was doing and that helped me keep going and not give up. She was very supportive before birth and during labor. I am thankful she was able to be there!"

Megan G.
If she weren’t there I probably would have had a c-section.

"Karriane was such a help through labor and birth. She really tailors her care to who you are. I am thankful for her knowledge and help. It was such a comfort to have her there and if she was not, I probably would have had a C-section. "

Ashley K.
Her suggestions helped me push my baby out!

"Having someone who was a constant in the turmoil of constant changing nurses and doctors was so helpful. Also, the suggestions at different stages was so helpful, if she didn't suggest the tug-of-war for pushing I don't know if I could have pushed my baby out."
