The Holistic Birthwork Philosophy

It is my heartfelt belief that birth transcends a mere physical event; it is a deeply emotional, spiritual, and transformative journey. Each body, every baby, and every path to parenthood carries its own uniqueness, and I embrace that individuality by offering a person-centered approach to your care. I am here to walk beside you, providing not just evidence-based information but also emotional support and a compassionate presence. I encourage you to trust in the innate wisdom of your body and the natural rhythms of birth, while also appreciating the valuable tools and support that modern care can offer. Your voice will be at the center of every decision, as I hold space for your hopes, fears, and personal story. This holistic approach weaves together the physical, emotional, and energetic dimensions of birth, ensuring that you feel truly seen, heard, and supported in all aspects of your being.

Hi, I’m Carrie.

For the past ten years, I have devoted my days to caring for children—nurturing their growth, meeting their needs, and learning from the incredible wisdom they bring into the world. Alongside that work, my fascination with birthwork has grown into a calling: to support families through one of life’s most transformative experiences with knowledge, presence, and care.

I am endlessly curious, always learning new methods and approaches to deepen my understanding of birth, postpartum, and the many ways we can care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. My practice is rooted in the belief that there is no single “right” way to birth, only the way that feels right for you. To serve that truth, I weave together a tapestry of modalities, methodologies, ancestral wisdom, and the latest research, creating care that is uniquely responsive to each family I work with.

Birth is a threshold—powerful, vulnerable, and deeply human. My role is to walk beside you as you cross it, offering steady support, informed guidance, and an open heart.

Let’s connect!

Thank you for your response. ✨

When I first started my training, I felt like I was always seeing posts about the infamous "doula bag." I planned to pick up everything I saw mentioned to ensure I would be the absolute most prepared doula. A common misconception I see in birth work is that a doula will advocate 𝘧𝘰𝘳 you. While in extreme cases that could be necessary, my focus as a doula is not to speak for you, but rather arm you with the tools to advocate for yourself. As a doula, my sole responsibility is to ensure that the needs of my client are being met. Sometimes that need is for counterpressure, or to run to the nurse's station to ask them to quiet the beeping of a monitor, or to ask a family member to give space so the energy in the room can change, to put up my client's hair, or to give sips of water. It doesn't matter how big or how small, the person I am focused on is the person giving birth. Birth is a true miracle. During births, I am overcome with an unshakeable reverence for what is unfolding. There often is so much time between the start of labor and the arrival of the baby, and sometimes we forget that at the end of all of this, a new being will be entering the world. That moment when the baby arrives after all the hard work of labor, and the months leading up to it are finally complete, is one of the most awe-inducing experiences I have had the privilege of witnessing. I feel like the luckiest person in the world to be able to witness births regularly. It is an unreal experience, and I am honored to be a part of every client's journey. One of my main suggestions to people who want to avoid medical intervention is: labor as long as you feel comfortable laboring at home. You are literally GROWING a human being INSIDE of your body. I will never not be completely blown away by the true alchemy of pregnancy. Pregnancy and birth can be surrounded by so many unknowns. Everyone seems to have an experience, and often a negative one that they are adamant about sharing with you, especially if you are a first time parent. Hello!
