“We had Karisa as the doula for the birth of our first baby. She is very educated and met with us several times before the birth to help us be as informed as we could be as first time parents. She shared books and articles to help us with specific needs. Karisa was there for us even when we got some unexpected news and birth plans changed. She came prepared and ready to serve. Karisa was very respectful to our needs and desires of privacy after the birth. At our catch up date she processed the earlier then expected birth leaving us more at peace. Karisa is so kind and easy to talk with. She makes the whole process very comfortable. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Karisa was a phenomenal doula for us! I had a traumatic pregnancy because of my water breaking around 20 weeks and being admitted to the hospital until my c-section at 25 weeks. Karisa was incredibly helpful during the pregnancy, c-section, and especially postpartum as I was figuring out life in the NICU, pumping, etc. She was able to stay with me in recovery after the c-section while my husband could stay with our baby getting transferred to the NICU. She is a very calming personality who is extremely knowledgeable and devoted to serving others. We are so thankful for her!”
— Carissa D. (mom of three)
“Karisa was a wonderful doula for us at our first birth! I had some complications with one of my hips in addition to inconsistent (but persistent!) contractions and Karisa was so helpful! I was in a lot of excruciating pain when Karisa came to check on me. She knew of a chiropractor I should go see and she came with us to the visit! I truly believe my birth experience would have been much different if she had not suggested I go to the chiropractor. As it was, my pain eased off an hour or so after getting adjusted and I went into real labor three days later. Karisa was also an encouraging presence during my actual birth and afterwards. She sang along with me and my husband while I was in labor land in the tub and used various methods to relieve the pain. It was always a comfort to know that I could text my doula and that I had someone there who knew my birth plan and was ready to help me carry it through. I am so thankful I found Karisa!”
— Katie M. (first time mom)
“Karisa was an AMAZING help during birth. She had a calm demeanor and reminded me how to breathe when my contractions were coming on strong. She also suggested different positions to help with the contractions and assisted in getting me there.
Karisa was a huge help with tag teaming with my husband and coached him through ways to support me. You cannot go wrong with choosing Karisa!”
— Daphne T. (first time mom)
“The combined knowledge and experience of a trained doula, as well as the simple benefit of a second helping hand, topped off with assistance offered but never solutions imposed on us, made a difficult (albeit memorable) experience much easier and, in general, better.”
— Nathan R. (first time father)
“What a wonderful experience. Having a doula helped me so much! Not knowing what to expect, she was there helping calm the pain and giving me the comfort that I needed.
When I couldn't handle the situation anymore, she gave me confidence and encouragement to make it through. When I didn't want to talk to nurses or doctors she was there to encourage me. After birth she was there; exhausted, but she was there!
My doula helped me through my baby's birth, pain after birth and even showed me how to nurse my baby. What a superpower it is to help future moms know what to expect. So thankful for my doula. Definitely something I want to have again in the future.”
— Milka R. (first time mom)
“In the months leading up to my labor and birth, when anxiety and anticipation were high, Karisa was an encouraging voice and great resource! She was very caring and gave great advice for how to prepare my body and mind for the birth I wanted.
She gifted us the Birth Partner book, just in time so that my husband and I could receive the information that was most relevant for us in preparation. I so appreciated her wisdom on birth as well as her loving heart towards me as a mother with a new baby on the way.
After the birth, Karisa helped me reverse pain I was experiencing while breastfeeding. That ultimately changed my experience to a very positive one. Karisa is amazing at what she does!”
