welcome penelope
July 22, 2024 Such a sweet birth! And a sweet time after she slid her way into the world! I loved watching the father instantly become a girl dad and them both praying over the sweet life they just welcomed!
welcome sweet baby boys
July 19, 2024 We all prayed for these sweet babies as soon as we knew they existed. They both are true gifts from God, and have taught us so much.
welcome adeyemi josiah
June 21, 2024 Power and grace, strength and surrender. Labor and birth asks more of you than you think you are capable of, pushing beyond yourself. Watching and witnessing her trust her body, moving and resting…inhaling and exhaling. Watching husband and sister supporting her together was beautiful. Always watching…and waiting and before you know it […]
welcome caine wilder
June 17, 2024 Wowza. What a woman! The strength and power of a woman giving birth never ceases to amaze me. Her labor wasn’t textbook (when are they) but she handled it amazingly, listening to what her body needed and communicating what did and didn’t work for her. My favorite thing I think I get […]

Ana Ursu – February 2024
How likely are you to refer my services to your friends and family (or even strangers)? 10 – Extremely likely If you have a few words about your birth and my services you would like to share in your own words, this is the place to do that! Cara supported me through my entire labor […]
McKenzie Cooley – March 2024
I truly don’t have words to describe how incredible Cara is. It’s taken me over a month to write this because I just didn’t know how I was going to fully express our gratitude for her and her wonderful work. I had the pleasure of hiring Cara early on in my pregnancy. I am a […]

Fading…
Fading into the background… As a doula my goal is to fade into the background, not to be noticed or seen. The roles shift moment by moment…hands on and hands off, words and no words, guiding and following. Of course there are times when I may take the lead, but more often than not, it’s […]
