âKara is rooted, calming, and real. Working with her in Motherbirth was the best gift I could have given myself and my baby. So much loving guidance and information all in one place. Think doula meets healthcare provider meets gentle older sister offering her wisdom to prepare you for birth and motherhood beyond. SO GOOD. I highly recommend all of Karaâs offerings.â

FREE WORKSHOP ~ MAKE A BETTER BIRTH PLAN
I was a 26-year-old single woman living in LA, working as a photographer, when one day, on the Gold Line train to Pasadena, I finally admitted: I don't want to be a photographer anymore.
When I asked myself, What do I want to do?  The word that popped into my head out of the baby blue California sky truly surprised me.
Midwife.
Something about it felt too right to ignore.
So here we are, 15 years later. I'm 42, a Certified Nurse-Midwife, Childbirth Educator, and Mother and Stepmom of 3, who's supported hundreds of women through pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood.
The work we do together prepares you to stay with yourself through the intensity of labor, utilize the psychophysiology of birth so you can work with your body rather than fight it, and build the internal scaffolding so you can find your footing asap in early motherhood.
