Kristen Karls leads a compassionate, professional doula service dedicated to supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We listen with presence, validate your values, and provide continuous physical and emotional support to help you feel informed, empowered, and respected in every choice you make. Our aim is to nurture calm beginnings and lasting confidence for your family.
Common questions about working together — quick answers to help you decide.
A 20–30 minute video or phone call to learn about your preferences, answer questions, discuss availability and next steps. There’s no obligation to book — it’s just a chance to see whether we're a good fit.
Yes. I support all birth choices — unmedicated, epidural, induction, VBAC, and planned cesarean. My job is to advocate for your preferences, help you prepare, and support your decisions during labour.
Typical packages include 2–3 prenatal visits to create your birth plan and 1–2 postpartum visits (often within the first 2 weeks). Custom packages with additional visits or newborn support are available.
Call/text me when you feel labour beginning. I include on-call coverage around your due date as agreed in the contract. If birth happens quickly I will respond as fast as possible; in rare cases I will coordinate backup doulas if needed.
