Practice overview
I started my journey in nonprofit leadership, where I dedicated years to empowering individuals and communities. This work, along with my experiences as a life coach and doula, led me to create a practice centered around holistic care for families. I recently began offering coaching and doula services to help families and individuals navigate life's most important transitions—from personal growth to the joys and challenges of parenthood. My approach is compassionate and deeply personalized, designed to offer emotional, mental, and physical support. I'm here to guide you through each step, ensuring you feel empowered, heard, and supported.

I felt cared for every step of the way. Even before the birth, she was there with advice and emotional support that was helpful, which eased my anxieties as a first-time mom. I felt empowered knowing Carissa was by my side. I can’t thank her enough for the comfort and guidance she provided during one of the most important moments of my life.

From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, kind and caring. Her presence was always calming, and she was always available to answer any questions I had, providing me with much-needed certainty during my pregnancy.
Carissa has a beautiful smile and an even more beautiful soul. She helped me tremendously with some anxiety I was experiencing, guiding me through breathing exercises and even providing some pregnancy yoga routines that were a huge help. During my labor, she was by my side, helping me relax and constantly assuring me that I was doing an amazing job. She introduced me to several tools, including sitting on an exercise ball to ease my pelvic discomfort-it made such a difference.
Her support was invaluable, and I honestly don’t know how I would have managed without her. Carissa is an amazing human, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive doula.

On my delivery day, she really helped me stay centered. It felt like she has a way of anticipating people’s needs before they even realize what they want. I honestly don’t think my birth experience would’ve been as smooth or memorable without her. I’m super grateful for everything she did and would recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome doula!
