I specialize working with pregnant people who want to feel empowered during birth. I provide the education, support, and the knowledge they need to advocate for the birth they desire.
I have supported many families through all different types of birth in most of our local hospitals; medicated, unmedicated, inductions, cesareans as well as home births.
My mission:
To empower families to navigate the unknown in labor and birth and to support them through this life changing event.

Hi! I’m Caroline
I immediately thought, "That’s me!" when I first learned what the word "doula" meant. I am honored to witness bringing the incredible gift of life into this world. I am truly humbled and enjoy working with families that trust me to support them in this journey.
I have supported all types of families in all birthing spaces with many different individual birth goals. I provide a calm environment so you can focus on the incredible act of labor. I offer evidence-based information so you can make the right decision that’s right for you. I fully support families, regardless of their outcome of their birth. If your family experiences perinatal loss, know that I will be by your side through it all.

"Caroline was my doula for my 2nd baby. She was amazing throughout my pregnancy and delivery day. She was always just a phone call or text away. She helped make my birth experience amazing and helped me achieve the perfect VBAC. My family and I are so grateful for all her help."

"I cannot say enough amazing things about Caroline. She was truly a calming, steady presence during a very long and emotional induction and birth experience. From the moment things started, she helped keep me grounded, informed, and calm every step of the way.
She advocated for me when I felt overwhelmed, helped me understand what was happening medically, walked me through every step and decision, and made sure my voice was heard throughout the process. She created such a peaceful and supportive environment during a time that could have easily felt scary and chaotic.
Beyond her knowledge and professionalism, Caroline brought so much compassion, reassurance, encouragement, and emotional support. Whether it was helping manage pain, offering comfort techniques, explaining options, or simply knowing exactly what to say in difficult moments, she was incredible.
Every mother deserves support like this during labor and delivery. I truly cannot imagine going through this experience without her by my side. I am endlessly grateful and would recommend Caroline to absolutely anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, empowering doula."
"I truly can’t say enough good things about working with Caroline as our doula. From pregnancy through postpartum, she went above and beyond in every way. She made me feel safe, supported, and confident during such a vulnerable and life-changing time. Her knowledge is incredible, and she always had evidence based resources, guidance, and reassurance exactly when I needed it. We are so grateful to have had her by our side and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation."

"Caroline was terrific leading up to birth, during birth, and after. Her home visits and informational sessions prepared us well for the actual day. During labor, the encouragement, information, and comfort measures she provided were invaluable. As my wife was laboring, I distinctly remember thinking to myself how glad I was to have Caroline there with us. She took the lead on physical counter pressure measures, and that allowed me to focus on emotional support in a way that wouldn’t have been possible without her there. She gave a sense of security not just to my wife, but me as well, offering to grab me a snack, give me a break, etc. Caroline had a hugely positive impact on the birth experience.
Since birth, Caroline has continued to provide postpartum support. She visited our home to talk about how postpartum was going, invited my wife to a new mom’s support group she leads, and recommended a great lactation consultation.
If we have any more babies in the future, we know one thing for sure: we will hire Caroline again."
