For all things pregnancy, birth & beyond
What if it’s better than you ever imagined?
Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum are huge things to prepare for. Mentally, emotionally, physically and so forth. Our culture often leaves us creating a picture of what birth and postpartum will be like that is less than than favorable. But what if it went better than you could have ever imagined? It is 100% possible to enjoy the huge experience of giving birth, and to welcome every phase of becoming a parent with serenity, comfort, confidence, and peace.
“Birth is a pivotal life-changing event, and should be respected as such”
Hey, Im Carolina
Im a certified Birth Doula, a senior student midwife & a placenta encapsulation specialist. I maintain my NRP (neonatal resuscitation program) certification, as well as infant and adult CPR certification. I have been attending births for almost a decade and one of the most frequent questions i get asked is “how many births have you attended?” While i’m happy to answer that question, what i believe matters most is that i have never attended YOUR birth. Each family dynamic is incredibly unique & each birth even more diverse. For this reason, my approach to supporting birth is adaptive, and means that i meet families where they are.
Investing in your pregnancy, birth & postpartum experience can benefit you & your family as a whole. My services are flexible to meet your needs.

Hiring a birth doula has not only been shown statistically to lower rates of interventions including inductions and cesarean sections, but it has lead to safer and more positive outcomes for families as they bring new life into the world. Having an experienced birth doula by your side can encourage more security, comfort, and joy. Navigating pregnancy and birth can be overwhelming. A doula can help.

Placenta consumption has been around for longer than we think. Today, we are able to safely provide placental consumption via capsules. This makes the process as easy as taking a vitamin. Benefits and history are truly mind blowing, and after offering this service for almost a decade i have seen time and time again how powerful placental consumption can be. Capsules, tinctures, and placenta prints available.

Birth workers dedicate their lives to learning all there is to learn in regards to birth. When someone finds out they are pregnant, the amount of information, choices and decision making, and risks and benefits of all things associated with birth can be wildly overwhelming. Especially because there are only a hand full of months available before the baby is born to attain that information. While i consider myself a "forever student," I have spent almost a decade involved in childbirth and have a passion for teaching. Take some of the weight off with a child birth education class.

Not local to me, but interested in connecting for support? Virtual support includes everything other than my physical presence at your birth. The option for phone availability for your birth is available. This would mean having me as your doula a phone call away for anything that comes up.
