Hey! I’m Cara Ginnel, owner of Doting Doula Birth Services. I’m living my dream, serving mothers and families through the most precious time of their lives. I have been married to my best friend since 2002, and am a mother of 4 (all grown up) children, and have lots of four legged friends.

I started the process of becoming a Postpartum Doula in 2019 to offer care to a dear friend and pursued it as a career, and honestly thought that is what I would be most passionate about! Little did I know I would start the paths to becoming a Childbirth Educator and Birth Doula as well!

I’m enthusiastic, and intuitive and will do all I can to help you navigate your pregnancy, birth and postpartum dreams. My focus is building strong relationships with the families I serve, while educating and empowering you.

The team you will meet here are very dear to me! It doesn’t necessarily feel like I chose them, they chose me and I am so privileged to work alongside of them.
