Online Childbirth and Pregnancy Support

If you’re pregnant you might be feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness with a thousand questions flashing through your mind. There’s so much that is new and strange, and so much information online that it can all feel a bit overwhelming. I know that you want the BEST for you and your baby, and I am here to help you get it.

I am very blessed to have created a life where I am able to do what I love working online and in person with women around the world during pregnancy and birth. As the Virtual Midwife, time and distance are irrelevant. I have taken my experience and the many lessons I learned in the labor room and packaged it into easy to understand courses and packages to make sure that you get THE VERY BEST CARE when you need it and how you need it.

Being virtual is the most simple and effective way of connecting with you.

The Virtual Midwife … at a glance

– KAREN WILMOT –

My mother was a midwife and also my first and greatest teacher. She taught me that birth was natural, normal and incredibly beautiful.

My life has been building towards the point of becoming ‘the virtual midwife’ ever since I was born. I grew up in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in a busy household where my mother was a midwife and my early years were full of her stories of brave women and incredible births. Even back then the idea of birth filled me with awe, and the desire to nurture and treasure new life became embedded in my soul.

My ‘first birth’ was actually a cow. I was 8 years old and from that moment I was hooked on birth!

How Karen helped me

Karen taught me about “holding space” before I even knew it was a thing. The lessons I learned from her altered the course of my life. My pregnancy and birth experience was so amazing that it inspired me to become a doula.

Karen was not only with me for both of my pregnancies and births, she was also my mentor during my doula studies. She taught me the value of honoring every woman’s experience.

Lindsay Lane Ward Hoffman

Yoga Teacher and Doula, USA

Throughout my wife’s pregnancies I often felt overlooked and rather like a spare wheel. Karen was the only person to make me feel entitled to share and take part in the birth experience. For that I will always be immensely grateful.

I never believed that birth could be so beautiful.

I thought it was just a class about birth, but for me, it was life changing.

With her holistic approach, Karen helped me experience childbirth as it is meant to be – natural.
