Karen is absolutely amazing - very knowledgeable, and so kind and compassionate. I highly recommend her!
She gave me trust: trust in myself and also trust in her - I knew I was in good hands - which are both so important in the process of giving life. Her support was excellent, from start to finish, and also on all levels, whether physical, mental or emotional. She made sure I was at my best for the birth, as we were able to detect and fix imbalances during the pregnancy. I really appreciated how she blends modern medicine with alternative and natural remedies, and also all the recommendations of books and resources she provided to educate myself. All the postpartum support was perfect too, she actively followed up on my baby's and my own health and well-being.
I feel like my words are not enough to describe how grateful I am that she was my midwife. Thank you for everything, Karen! - Emma Wright··from Google
Choosing Karen for our second child’s birth was absolutely the right move. I appreciated her long and personal prenatal appointments, the relationship she builds over the nine months, and her ability to answer questions outside appointments. She uses both western and alternative medicine with care and discretion and full informed consent. The real clincher was watching her handle multiple potentially scary complications at the end of pregnancy so quickly and confidently and gently that it didn’t register as anything concerning. It can feel like a lot of pressure to choose your provider so early in pregnancy without really knowing them, but I have no doubts about returning to Karen for any future pregnancies and births- she is the best of hands.
PS she is the best with older (toddler) siblings! - Sierra Baber·
Karen was wonderful and so sweet to us while we were in the appointment. Very attentive and informative and helped make my partner more comfortable with the process, as this is his first child. This is our first at home birth, and my first vaginal birth, so I am so excited to have the support and encouragement from Karen.
