Cara George - Childbirth Educator

About Cara

I have been a birth worker for 8 years and have 15 years of infant care experience as a professional nanny, postpartum doula, and educator. I am a mom of 4 crazy lovable kiddos (2015, 2017, 2021, and 2023) and I have personally experienced hospital birth and out of hospital birth. It was the care of 2 volunteer doulas during my first birth who helped drive my desire to become a birth worker. I am passionate about education as an incredible tool to build confidence and help birth outcomes. I believe everyone should have access to the highest level of education and care during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This is driven by my belief that every person is born with inherent dignity, value, and worth and that women’s bodies are strong and beautifully made to birth their baby. I have a true calling to do this work and it is an incredible honor to be part of each family’s birth journey that I serve! When I am not teaching childbirth education or processing a placenta, I enjoy servicing at my church and all things musical theatre and fantasy. Two things that will always make me smile are dance parties with my kids and trying new restaurants with my husband.

Childbirth Educator packages and pricing

Placenta encapsulation

Placenta encapsulation, a traditional Eastern medicine practice, supports postpartum healing by regulating hormones, boosting energy, increasing breastmilk supply, and replenishing minerals. The process involves cleaning, steaming, dehydrating, and powdering the placenta, which is then encapsulated. Our certified encapsulator will pick up your placenta between 8am and 9pm, or your doula can handle it after birth. The entire process, completed in a safe and sterile environment, takes 24-48 hours. Once ready, your capsules and instructions will be delivered to you.
