Hi, I’m Karmen Johnson, and I’m passionate about supporting women through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys. My own health challenges, including my diagnosis of premature ovarian failure, inspired me to focus on empowering others to feel informed, confident, and cared for during one of life’s most transformative experiences. As a doula, I combine my personal experiences with my professional background to provide holistic, compassionate care. I earned my Master’s in Food and Nutritional Science at Tuskegee University, which deepens my understanding of prenatal and postpartum health. My experience in nutrition education and plant-based living allows me to offer guidance on how to nourish your body and mind during this special time. I take pride in creating a calm and empowering atmosphere where you feel supported and respected. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or adding to your family, my goal is to honor your unique vision for your experience. Why I’d Be a Great Fit as Your Doula • Empathy and Advocacy: My personal journey has shaped my commitment to being a strong advocate for you and your needs. • Holistic Support: With my background in nutrition and wellness, I offer practical guidance to help you feel your best throughout your pregnancy and beyond. • Calming and Supportive Presence: I’m here to create a peaceful, empowering environment where you feel heard and cared for. • Personalized Care: I listen to your needs and preferences to help you create a birth plan that reflects your values and ensures your voice is always at the center.

Hello
When I think back on my birth and postpartum journey, Karmen Johnson’s name shines brightly as one of the most pivotal and comforting presences in my experience. From the very first moment we connected, Karmen exuded warmth, understanding, and a deep passion for her work. She immediately made me feel seen, heard, and supported in a way I didn’t even know I needed. As my doula, Karmen provided not just practical knowledge but also emotional reassurance that carried me through the most vulnerable and transformative moments of my life. She was there calmly guiding me, offering comfort measures, and reminding me of my own strength when I started being hard on myself about my healing journey. Her presence brought an indescribable sense of peace to both me and my partner, who also felt incredibly supported under her care. During The postpartum period (can feel overwhelming and isolating) she checked in regularly, offering both physical help and heartfelt emotional support. Whether it was helping me with breastfeeding challenges, reassuring me through moments of doubt, or simply being a listening ear during late-night talks, Karmen made me feel like I wasn’t alone. She became an integral part of our family’s story, and I can’t recommend her enough to any parent seeking someone who will walk beside them with grace, expertise, and a heart full of love. If you’re fortunate enough to work with Karmen, know that you’ll not only gain a doula but a lifelong advocate, cheerleader, and friend.
