I help women feel less afraid

and more held, heard, & seen

when they have their babies.

I’ll help you start motherhood on solid ground — attuned to your changing body and connected to your tender heart.

There’s also an excellent chance you’ll meet your new new-mom bestie here, and a promise you’ll have no regrets about how you spent this sacred season.

RECEIVE LOVE

Be first to know about special seasonal classes, in-person classes and retreats, and 2-for-1 specials, plus inspiration and personal insights at a predictable and not-at-all-annoying frequency (every Thursday at 10 am EST).

In 2011, on a cold December night, I was at Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston, supporting my first laboring woman as a Birth Doula-in-training. I’d never witnessed a birth before and hadn’t had kids of my own yet.

That night, I knew I’d found my life’s work.

13 years, many long nights, hours of study, and heaps of satisfied students and clients later, I’m a Certified Nurse Midwife, Pre/Postnatal Yoga Instructor and Educator, and mother of 3 who has supported hundreds of women and families in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

“My body was calling for this workshop! Kara is such a nurturing and caring person and it shows in her teaching. Her workshop was the first time in this pregnancy that I got to be just with my baby, moving and breathing with him in mind. The pace and flow of the class left me feeling refreshed and relaxed. I feel more connected more connected to Baby and Kara facilitated the whole thing.”
