When I discoverd I was pregnant with my first little one, several women I spoke with emphasized the importance of having a doula. Having never gone through the birth experience before, I honestly didn't know what the value of having a doula would be. Boy were my expectations completely blown away with Cara!
As I experienced complications in my pregnancy, Cara was nothing less than supportive and positive about adjusting my birth plans from a home birth to a hospital one. She was available for any questions I had and she was very affirming that my birth would be exactly what it needed to be for the sake of my little lady. That's just what I need to hear from someone who had been around so many births!
Prior to our baby's arrival, Cara took the time to get to know my husband and I and determine what expectations we had and what we would like for her to do during our birthing. Having that understanding was great and on our baby's birthday, Cara was there and right beside us for every step of the journey in a very natural way. Her suggestions for changing positions, massages, walking around, or simply resting were perfect for my first birth experience. For both my husband and I, she brought a welcomed and warm presence into the equation as I strived to have a peaceful and calm birthing. And in my husband's words, "It just felt right that she was there..."
When I think of our experience with Cara now, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the crucial role she played in one of the biggest moments of our lives. Her love and support left a big impact on us and I would suggest her as a doula to anyone I know! Our big day just wouldn't have been the same without her!

My husband and I moved to Indianapolis in the summer knowing no one, pregnant with our first child, and the mindset of having a natural water birth. I started researching doulas because I had little support behind me and I knew that I needed a strong team in order to have my first natural birth. I found Cara through a doula website. I instantly felt a connection with her, the sincerity and calmness that she brought was the perfect fit for our family. Once I was in active labor, and even the weeks before when my body was going through the steps in order to prepare for labor Cara was my go to for questions I had and even just to talk to. My beautiful baby girl was born on a friday 13th and I honestly could not imagine it without Cara and my husband supporting me the entire time. This was an amazing profound experience and I feel blessed that Cara was a part of it!

Cara was instrumental to the health of my pregnancy, both mentally and physically. Her expertise in massage therapy and natural childbirth really helped me. She is there 24/7 to answer any and all questions and she is always calm, attentive and truly cares about you and your baby's well being. I could not have asked for better support, I HIGHLY recommend her.
