MA, Postpartum Doula
Karen has a Masters Degree in Parent-Infant Education and 25+ years of mothering experience with her four children. She is a certified foster care parent for children ages 0-3. Prior to parenthood, she specialized in working with parents of deaf infants.
Karen is passionate about her work with the Mothers’ Center in Long Island, an organization created by mothers to support mothers while engaging them personally, enriching them professionally, and empowering them through public policy. As a Mothers’ Center Facilitator, work included developing and encouraging a judgement-free zone where women could get the support they need during all types of transitions in their lives, starting with the transition to motherhood. Karen loves creating similar environments within the home with a focus on encouraging open-hearted communication. She thoroughly enjoys the inspiring work of individualizing postpartum doula support for families caring for infants.
In and around caring for infants and families, Karen takes care of herself by spending time with friends, exploring new parts of Brooklyn with her husband, doing dreamwork, reading, and taking long walks in the park.
