Hello! I am a birth and postpartum doula in Volusia County and servicing within a 50 mile radius. I got started in the birth community after the birth of my daughter. I had a wonderful experience, in part due to the wonderful midwives who attended me throughout my pregnancy and labor, as well as the postpartum doula who came to my home at 2 in the morning to help me with her when I was losing my sanity. These experiences made me want to give to other women, and I found my way into doula work. It has been the most rewarding work I have ever done, and I love doing it. Outside of my work, I spend time with my daughter and my partner, I enjoy reading and playing video games, and I have two cats and a leopard gecko. I have a Facebook page for my business where I regularly post at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069593215044&mibextid=ZbWKwL

From the moment I met Cari (night of my induction), she was by my side up until couple hours after our baby was born. That was a full 36 hours. My husband and I will forever be grateful for Cari and the unconditional support and care she provided me during my labor at Winnie Palmer. Majority of the reason why I enjoyed my birth experience was mainly because of Cari. I panicked a few days before my scheduled induction and wanted an extra support person and I found Cari through Doula Connect FL FB group. She was a god sent! She showed up with snacks, essential oils, music, room spray, she just came prepared for what she was meant to do on earth for expectant mothers and that providing emotional support, comfort and advocacy. She stayed overnight and kept checking in on me every so often. She saw my discomfort and rushed over to support me and assisted my husband on how to help me through the pain. I will never in my entire life forget Cari and the role she played during my birth story. God really sent an Angel to be by my side especially in such short notice. I would definitely recommend Cari to every expectant mother I know and I will utilize her services again if we ever do decide to have another. She is well educated, has a heart of gold, so motherly, so trustworthy and reliable.

Cari is a very sweet woman with a warm heart, who loves the birthing experience and is dedicated to her job. She stayed with me all the way through a long and difficult birth, and brought her expertise and birthing tools to help.
