Breastfeeding Support
All of Karen's doula clients will receive breastfeeding support at the time of birth and at a follow-up postpartum visit if desired. This is included in the fee for doula services.
For additional support, pricing depends on whether you come to Karen or she makes a home visit as well as travel distance, please contact Karen for details here. Urgent, weekend and night services are available for an additional fee. Karen is able to provide FREE breastfeeding support during Carolina Moms Unite monthly mom-to-mom support group meetings.

Birth Pool Rentals
Now Available for rent: Birth Pool in a Box Mini for your upcoming labor or homebirth.
Click the link below to have Karen email you the Birth Pool Rental Agreement to learn more.
The Mini Birth Pool in a Box Eco Pro is 65"x57" in size with an internal height of 26" and is recommended for birthing people up to 6' tall. It is compact enough to fit in smaller spaces and is a nice cozy birth pool. Birthing people who are a bit vertically challenged will enjoy the way this pool can have only the upper and lower rings inflated making it shorter and easier to lean over the sides.
It is made of Eco PVC that is cadmium, lead and latex-free.
A special liner is included in your pool rental (for single-use).
The pump pictured above is perfect for blowing up this type of pool in just a matter of minutes (5-10 min). I found mine in the camping section by the inflatable mattresses. It is important to use one that plugs into the wall for the fastest inflation. The one above also allows for rapid deflation when you are finished using the birth pool.

Carolina Moms Unite
(free monthly moms meetings)
Contact Karen here to find out when the next meeting will be. *Currently on hold due to the virus until we are cleared for group meetings.*
Carolina Moms Unite is a wonderful, encouraging and enjoyable group of moms and moms-to-be. Many moms join the monthly group meetings to ask questions, share wisdom and encourage one another on the hard and fruitful journey of motherhood. Anyone is welcome and you are encouraged to bring your friends. Babies and toddlers stay with their moms and older children may play in another room, supervised by Karen's 16 year old daughter. Meetings are free of charge and meet at Karen's home. Feel free to bring a snack to share if you'd like (not required). Some of the topics we discuss include: babywearing, breastfeeding, birth options, parenting different age groups, homeschooling and much more. Treat meetings like a buffet, take what you like and leave the rest behind. We honor each mother and respect that we all have differing opinions and are all doing the best we can to raise our children well.
