Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Kara Welker, and I am a holistic, full-spectrum doula dedicated to walking alongside individuals and families through every phase of the reproductive journey—from conception, pregnancy, and birth to postpartum, loss, and everything in between.
My approach is rooted in the belief that birth is not just a physical experience, but an emotional, spiritual, and deeply transformative one. I offer compassionate, evidence-based, and heart-centered support tailored to your unique needs, preferences, and values
.
My Philosophy
As a holistic doula, I honor the mind-body connection and the innate wisdom of the birthing body. I’m here to hold space, provide education, and empower you to make informed choices that align with your intuition and your goals.
I believe birth is a human right and every mother deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard—whether you're planning a home birth, free birth, hospital birth, VBAC, cesarean, or navigating loss or fertility challenges. You are not alone, and your experience matters.
Specialized Training & Tools
I bring a unique blend of somatic, energetic, and evidence-based tools to my work, including:
Spinning Babies® Approach – to support optimal fetal positioning and ease in pregnancy and birth
Certified Breech Release® Bodywork – a gentle, fascia-informed technique to support body balance and potentially encourage spontaneous breech rotation
Full-Spectrum Support – inclusive care through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, abortion, miscarriage, and beyond
Holistic Modalities – grounding practices, breathwork, rebozo techniques, and more to support nervous system regulation and emotional wellbeing
Whether you're experiencing joy, grief, or uncertainty, my role is to provide unwavering presence, intuitive touch, and clear, affirming guidance.
My Commitment to You
I will respect your autonomy and advocate for your voice in every space
I will meet you with empathy, professionalism, and non-judgment
I will walk with you—through every contraction, every decision, every moment
Let’s Connect
If you're seeking a doula who sees you—not just your birth plan—I'd be honored to support your journey.

Schedule your 30 minute Intro Call where we can discuss your needs, packages and pricing - I try to be flexible as I believe that every woman deserves the care and support of a doula. I also believe deeply that you must really connect and feel comfortable with whoever is in your birth space so I want us to have this time so see if it’s a good fit.
