EXCELLENT Based on 31 reviews EverydayMamaBear2024-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kari was my rock through pregnancy and labor/delivery. She is a wealth of information and available for inquiries through call or text anytime. She gives you all the evidence and proven studies available to help you make your own decision on what's best for you and your baby, plus she's ready when asked to give her educated opinion on the best natural methods to conquer any common or unforeseen issues with pregnancy and labor. She's there to make sure your birth plan goes as "according to plan" as possible, but more than that, she's just a kind-hearted, genuine individual and a mom who can relate. When my husband pulled up to the hospital with me in active labor in the passenger seat, and Kari was there to open my door and help me inside, seeing her face was such a comfort and relief. My only regret is that I did not find her for my first two babies! Lauren Greene2024-03-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kari is a wonderful doula! She worked with me for an unmedicated hospital birth and for a home birth and she was great with both! Showed up at the perfect times with both births and jumped right in to help me and help my partner help me. Kari is very knowledgeable, comforting and caring with an abundance of recommendations, resources and tools in her birth tool kit! Every birthing person should be lucky enough to have a Doula Kari by their side! Jessica Reis2024-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so thankful that I found Kari! She was exactly what I needed from a doula during my pregnancy and birth. I met with Kari in my second trimester and she taught me so much about the birth experience as well as what to expect postpartum. Honestly, without Kari, I’m not sure if I could of waited as long as I did to get the epidural - she knew how to help me during the contractions, with even documenting the precious moments between my husband and I! I will definitely be connecting with Kari again for my second pregnancy, she’s the best!! kimberly sanchez2024-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are considering using a doula, just do it! Kari was an integral part of my birth team. Being a first time mom, there were a lot of unknowns and Kari does a great job at walking you through EVERYTHING and providing LOTS of resources. I was very impressed with how willing and responsive she was during my pregnancy. She had also been a great support for me during the fourth trimester and did not leave me “high and dry” post-partum (a more sensitive time than prenatal IMO). She is the calm you need in the crazy journey of pregnancy and postpartum. Best of luck to anyone who reads this review; a decision like moving forward with a doula is the start of you building your own village! 🩷 Elise Swartwood2024-02-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kari is just the best! I’ve had the pleasure of having her at both my babies births and can’t imagine them without her. She has a very calming presence and is a wealth of information on all things birth. She has a beautiful ability to remind you how strong you are in any moments of doubt and has all the natural remedies or essential oils you need before you know you need them! Anna S2024-01-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Kari for our second birth center birth after talking to multiple other doulas. She has the personality that I was looking for - calm, informative, and just overall pleasant to be around. She was great at listening to my and my husband's concerns, helping me create a birth plan (and walking through what each thing meant), and just being a compassionate listening ear. Truly Kari was a missing piece to our wonderful birth team. We ended up in a hospital post delivery as baby was super fast. It was such relief to know that we will have Kari to help us navigate hospital settings as it was not part of our plan. Now it has been a few weeks postpartum for us and she still continues to check in, and I couldn't be happier with my choice to work with her! Zoe Werner2023-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hiring Kari as my doula was the single best thing I did for myself during my pregnancy. Her knowledge and experience was everything I needed as a first time mom. When I unexpectedly went into preterm labor Kari didn’t flinch and was there every step of the way as a calming and nurturing force. My husband and I have said a hundred times at this point that we don’t know if we would have gotten through my labor and delivery without her. We cannot recommend her enough. G G2023-06-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kari is the absolute best! I feel so fortunate I found her. I’m so grateful for all the support, personalised care and attention she gave me during my pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I felt so safe and strong during the whole process because I had her right by my side with all her incredible knowledge and calmness. Kari you’ll always be in my heart 🥰 thank you for making me believe in myself ❤️ Sarah Silva2023-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing a good doula for me was an essential part of my journey and finding Kari was a blessing. From the beginning I felt I could trust her and I wasn't wrong! She was present the whole time not only when I went to the Birth Center, but at all the visits to my house explaining about the labor process, asking how I was doing and clarifying things we usually worry about as new parents. During my labor she always checked to see if I needed anything, offered me water and gave me the space I needed to face the challenge of giving birth. It was a beautiful and powerful afternoon that started at the birth center and ended with an emergency c-section due to a prolapsed cord, and all the time Kari was by my side helping my husband and me. I couldn't ask for a better doula! Thanks Kari for being there for me! Ravit Allen2023-04-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kari was amazing. She guided me through the whole process and kept me calm and focused. She offered an extremely personalized service and her knowledge of birth is top level. I would recommend her to any woman going through birth.
