I have been a midwife for 30 years. 10 years ago I left the hospital system to focus on creating a way to support women during pregnancy in order to have the birth I KNOW is possible with the right information and preparation.
I studied prenatal yoga RYT 200, Hypnobirthing the Mongan method, the Mama Bamba way with Robyn Sheldon, Spinning babies with Gail Tully and Active birth with Janet Balaskas.
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.
Hayley RandKaren 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 HoffmanThroughout 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.

Love this - so true!♦
In our every day lives, we know that pain is a signal that something is wrong with our bodies. Pain is surrounded by feelings of being scared, feeling worried and “make it stop”.
♦
But childbirth is the only time in life where pain has a purpose.
♦
Each contraction works to bring your baby down and out.
♦
It can be hard to disassociate the pain you feel during birth from negative feelings when all your life, pain has been a thought of something being wrong.
♦
But this one time, your mind has to work hard to feel positive about the pain.
♦
You have to dig deep and say:
“𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞”
“𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬”
“𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞”
“𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝”
“𝐈 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧”

This pain is not your demise, it’s your body and baby doing something beautiful.
