Mothercraft Midwifery

Every moment with Kara and her team was perfect. On a deep level I felt seen, respected, safe, heard, and a sense of teamwork. I was way more comfortable giving birth at home than in the hospital setting. Thank you Mothercraft!!

Kara is a human being that makes you feel seen and heard, unconditionally. Midwifery care is innately a very intimate relationship. What distinguishes Kara from other midwives is her calm, joyful personality, and her intrinsic capacity to nurture mothers. Regularly laughing with your care provider is something I believe all pregnant people should experience! Her love for every single mother and baby she comes in contact with, as well as her own children, radiates from her. Kara's office environment is soothing and welcoming, she accommodates mothers schedules, and she has a vast knowledge from years of experience. I always felt secure and safe in Kara's hands and that my body and baby were important.

I cannot recommend Kara more heartily to any woman wanting compassionate, skillful, personalized, heartfelt, fun and insightful care from a midwife through your pregnancy, labor and post-partum experience. She really helps includes partners as well--so wonderful. A worrier myself, I chose to see her AND as my Obgyn at Kaiser throughout my pregnancy. I can attest that the care, information, insight, and support I received from Kara surpassed anything at the hospital, 100-fold. She's clearly found her calling and we are all the better for it. Kara handled my every concern (and there were a Lot of them) with grace, intelligence and sensitivity; never guiding me into any decisions but encouraging me to understand every option and make my own decisions. She was incredibly attentive, available to discuss anything via email , text or phone, and when she could tell I was losing it a little, or getting scared or emotional about something, she made herself really truly a friend and support. The birth of my son was amazing, I felt held and empowered and safe with her there, helping me and my baby. Despite an unexpected transfer to the hospital, bringing Kara to the hospital made the experience easy and joyful for me. She advocated and was wonderful with all the doctors/nurses--they all walked away impressed. It was Kara's voice that guided me through the labor, particularly the pushing. I knew I was in such good hands. This kind of care for woman's body, experience, and labors is phenomenal and I wish every woman could have it. Kara's abilities, love for, and deep experience in this field is clear. Her calm (and funny) demeanor is also wonderful during such a huge life-transformation process, and I wish every woman who wants a midwife could work with her! Book her. You will absolutely not regret it.
