I am so grateful for the support I received from Karmen in the postpartum period with my third baby.
She went above and beyond in every way, preparing the most delicious, nourishing snacks and meals, helping with household tasks that made life feel so much lighter, and caring for my baby with so much tenderness.
But what stood out to me the most was her presence. Postpartum can often feel lonely, even with a full house, and having her by my side as both a doula and a friend was a true gift. The conversations we shared and the way she simply held space for me were just as healing as the meals she prepared.
Her care is thoughtful, practical, and deeply loving. I couldn’t recommend her enough to any family welcoming a new baby.

This year I was pregnant with my third and final child. I asked family & friends to contribute (if they wished) not towards a registry, but towards a postpartum doula. It was hands down the best decision I ever made!! I wish I had Karmen with my other two babies. She made postpartum so much easier. She was so supportive emotionally & physically, always willing to help wherever help was needed. I think that all mamas should get to experience having Karmen as their postpartum doula! I really couldn’t recommend her more!! The investment is completely worth it. Do yourself the favour and book her the moment you know you’re pregnant. You won’t regret it, it will be the best baby present you get yourself, I promise!

Karmen was very flexible with my changing day-to-day needs. She is an excellent listener and had some very helpful advice.
I appreciated her flexibility to go with the flow of each day whether it was going for a walk, doing a grocery trip, baking cupcakes, or holding my son while I did gardening fit perfect with my changing needs.

Hiring Karmen was the best thing I ever did for myself. It felt like having a best friend who came over and would listen to me for hours while also helping keep my toddler cared for, and my house in order. I can’t wait to have another baby so I can have her back again.

I would highly recommend Karmen for your postpartum recovery needs. She seamlessly integrated within our family of 6 and was able to fill in the gaps while I spent time recovering. I truly believe my fast recovery was in part due to her helping hand !
Karmen was great with my school aged children, she helped get them ready for school, make them lunch and feed them an healthy breakfast every morning. Karmen also helped with meal prep and she made healthy and yummy snacks and smoothies for our family to enjoy.
I appreciated that I felt comfortable with Karmen in my home and around my family and I could rely on her to be there each day with a positive attitude.

I decided to hire a Doula once I found out that I was having twins in my second pregnancy. It was the best decision I have ever made!!! With my first baby, I didn't have a doula and the postpartum period was SO different. With my first baby I was exhausted, even though I was so happy to have a baby and had everything I ever dreamed of, I cried every day. I wanted to enjoy my baby but I was just so exhausted, between the lack of sleep, the postpartum hormones, breastfeeding without proper nutrition and trying to keep up with housekeeping, life was HARD. I joined several Mom&Baby groups and it seemed that this was the "norm" so I settled for that experience, BIG MISTAKE!
With my second pregnancy, I wanted to have a different postpartum experience were I could be the mom I wanted to be to my new babies and my older baby and after much research, I decided to interview a doula. Even after meeting with Karmen, I had no idea the massive impact she was going to have in my family's life. I delivered the twins and the first night home, I didn’t have time to show Karmen around, I was so exhausted, so I just handed her the twins and went to bed. Karmen blew my mind, she was SO proactive in getting to know my household!! She didn’t only give SO MUCH love to my twin babies, but she also took such good care of me and my whole family. Every night, Karmen cooked delicious nutritious snacks and meals which she would bring to bed in the middle of the night while I breasted my babies (I felt so spoiled!!), she learned how to make Latin foods (I am Latin, so this meant the WORLD), she organized my whole house, refilled things such as soap dispensers, did laundry/folded it the way I liked it/put everything away in its place, etc. Thanks to Karmen, I had THE BEST postpartum experience!! I had the energy to be an awesome mom and enjoy everyday with my 3 babies! I was so so happy, I didn’t cry once! Every new mom deserves to have this amazing experience and Karmen can make this happen for you as well. I was supposed to hire her for 4-6 weeks and ended up hiring her for months! Karmen, thank you so much for allowing me and my family to enjoy such an important time the way its supposed to be enjoyed, we will always remember you and we love you so much!!
