My favorite thing about being a doula is:
Educating and supporting my clients to be mentally healthy during the perinatal period.

Hi there, I'm Karen! I've been a doula for the past 13+ years, and I love supporting families during the postpartum time. I'm the mom of 5 incredible kids, and I love being active through biking, hiking, running and swimming. In between soccer games and track meets, I homeschool my kids and get all the continuing education I can!
I became an advocate and activist for maternal mental health after experiencing postpartum mood and anxiety disorders with my own children. I've been a leader for the Climb Out of the Darkness for the last 6 years which has raised thousands of dollars for Postpartum Support International and PSI Utah.
I specialize in working overnight postpartum shifts, and love helping new tired parents get the rest and support they need. I can’t wait to meet you and support you through your postpartum time!
