About me

Hi everyone! I'm LGBTQ+ friendly and I believe all families deserve love and support. I'm a certified postpartum doula and I provide daytime support in the city of Chicago. Not only can I provide excellent care of your newborn, but I'm there to provide support for the whole family by assisting with breastfeeding or bottle feeding, making meals and snacks, answering questions about newborn development or postpartum recovery, and generally providing emotional support during a time that can be both joyful and stressful. I take your family's health seriously, which is why I'm fully vaccinated and boosted, and I've received the Tdap vaccine. I get a yearly flu shot and I keep my CPR certification updated.

Carrie is amazing. She brings a sense of calm wherever she goes, and has an incredible supportive energy. She’s wonderful at anticipating needs without being asked, and an expert in all things postpartum. Whether it’s making a warm meal or snack, holding a hand (or baby!), or troubleshooting the highs and lows of this very special time - Carrie is my first choice. Thank you for everything you do!

Literally the best person in the world and a life saver. She was the magical fairy I never knew I needed. As a seasoned mother of two, I figured there was no reason to get extra help. I'd done it before. But was I wrong. Carrie was the caring friend and doula who not only took care of me but also my son. She helped to make sure our house was running and my belly was full. If there was anything she needed, she was always there to step in a help out in any way she could. I can't recommend her enough.

We had a great experience with Carrie! From the start, she was kind, calm, and easy to talk to. She helped us understand what to expect, answered all our questions. After the C-section, she was a steady and comforting presence. She supported both of us - checking in, giving helpful suggestions, and making sure we felt safe and confident. Her support made a big difference, and we’re so thankful she was part of our journey. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and experienced doula.
