“Kara handled my every concern (and there were a Lot of them) with grace, intelligence and sensitivity; never guiding me into any decisions but encouraging me to understand every option and make my own decisions. The birth of my son was amazing, I felt held and empowered and safe with her there, helping me and my baby.”
“To be cared for by Kara, to be supported as a whole person in the process of being pregnant, preparing for birth and becoming a parent, has been one of the most important experiences of care that I have had in my life. Kara's practice offers a true partnership, pairing expert knowledge with the unique lived experience of this time in life that is different for everyone. “
“Kara is a human being that makes you feel seen and heard, unconditionally. Midwifery care is innately a very intimate relationship. What distinguishes Kara from other midwives is her calm, joyful personality, and her intrinsic capacity to nurture mothers. Regularly laughing with your care provider is something I believe all pregnant people should experience!”
“The postpartum care was out of this world phenomenal. Her texts, her time in our home together, her true care and curiosity meant the world to me and was a pivotal force in my physical healing and understanding the emotional waves I was encountering. She showered us with hope and encouragement. While so much was going on the first few days after birth, there was also laughter to the point of tears.”
“Every moment with Kara and her team was perfect. On a deep level I felt seen, respected, safe, heard, and a sense of teamwork. I was way more comfortable giving birth at home than in the hospital setting. Thank you Mothercraft!!”
