honoring your journey - from Oakland County and surrounding areas

Congratulations

Supporting your birth and postpartum journey in and around Oakland County

Meet Karina, Your Doula

As The Doula Karina, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive pregnancy care that empowers parents. My goal is to support you through every stage of pregnancy with knowledge and compassion. I will be a steady presence you can rely on to educate, calm, and support this whole new family you are creating.

Our Care

I believe in parent centered care. I want you and any support people in your life to be informed and confident throughout this jorney

Birth Doula

My work as a doula centers around your needs as a developing family. Your goals are my guide for how I support you. I can help guide you to determine which approach resonates best (because you don't know what you don't know) and am always flexible to adjust in the moment if something is not working for you. We will discuss your goals, experience, and fears to prepare parents with appropriate expectations. If your goal is to breastfeed, I provide tips for your birth plan to ensure the best start, as well as connections to lactation consultants once you get home if there are any issues. If your goal is a hands off birth, we would discuss how to make these wishes clear to your provider.

Postpartum

Though I always feel blessed to support families at birth, my passion is in postpartum care. I know how vulnerable this time can be and generally how much support from families dwindles after a week. There are also strong biases that families impart that might not align with your emerging parenting style. As a postpartum doula, I have a robust network of postnatal caretakers such as pelvic floor pt, chiropractors, lactation consultants, mental health support and more. I provide care to your whole family, so if that includes taking over baby duties so you and a partner can rest, helping with light housework if your mobility is still recovering, or putting in a grocery order, I'm there for you!
