Kari Y. | Doula in Parkland, FL

Carry You Through Doula Services, Inc.

    Practice overview

    I am a Certified Doula (CPLD) and Student Birth Assistant (BA) who is devoted to serving and supporting families. I am a native of South Florida and happily serve the N. Miami-Dade, Broward and S. Palm Beach Counties.

    I believe that everyone should have access to support and whether you choose to birth at the hospital, a birth center or at home I am ready to support you. My ultimate goal is to make sure that you feel safe, secure and supported.

    I discovered the importance of empowering and educating women about their choices in childbirth through my own empowering experience giving birth and I am passionate about helping others have the most rewarding birth possible. I wholeheartedly believe in supporting families through birth and beyond.

    I received my training as a Doula with Birth Arts International and Women Honoring Women and I take an integrative approach with birthing moms and their partners. I firmly believe in evidence-based education and building a supportive tribe. I am impassioned about whole body wellness and the mind/body connection, autonomy, nature, music and helping others. I am knowledgeable about breastfeeding, herbalism, hypno-birthing, Spinning Babies, baby wearing, cloth diapering and I am also a Reiki practitioner.

    I am a Founding Member of The Doulas Care Collective and current Board Member serving in the capacity of Membership Coordinator.

    I am CPR and NRP certified.

    I take a limited number of clients as I believe in personalized service for each one. Contact me to schedule your free birth consultation!

    I look forward to helping you achieve your ideal birth.

    Postpartum Support
    I provide evidenced-based information on things such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother-baby bonding, infant soothing, and basic newborn care. Research shows that there is an easier transition if a good support team is in place. My goal is to help “mother the mother” and nurture the entire family as they transition into life with a newborn. This can be anywhere from a few days up to a few weeks after bringing home a new baby. I am CPR and NRP Certified.

      Kari was the perfect support for my husband and me during the entire pregnancy, during labor and postpartum. I have a very supportive husband, but there is just some thing that a Doula provides that your husband can’t. Kari has such a peaceful and kind presence. She is also very knowledgeable and informed us about many things we did not know. I highly recommend you interview with her if you are looking for a doula!
