Welcome to Birth with Karishma!

All About Me

My doula journey started after the birth of my one and only child in 2010. An amazing woman supported me on my baby's birthday and even though some of the details are foggy, I know that her support helped me achieve my birth goals. Her constant encouragement, physical, and emotional support was so vital. It moved me to join the doula community in hopes of being a positive impact on one of the most important days in a birthing person's life. 

​

I completed the necessary training and received my Birth Doula Certification from DONA International in 2013. I have taken a number of additional classes to help me be a better doula, including hypnobirthing, spinning babies, and a TENS and Accupressure class. I started working exclusively with the Midwives at OMG in Hinsdale in 2015. I have supported over 275 women including first-time moms, moms of multiples, those seeking a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), midwives, and doulas! I am humbled by the trust and confidence of those that have chosen me to be a part of their birth team, and I look forward to supporting so many more!

​

I also teach childbirth education and have had the pleasure of teaching over 200 expectant families. 

​

Personally, I am a mom to a 14-year-old boy and a 4-year-old Yorkie, and I've been married to my amazing husband for 20 years. We live in the south suburbs and love all things sports. I grew up in Vancouver, Canada and moved to Illinois in 2005. My post-secondary education is in criminology, definitely a far cry from doula work!
