about prenatal yoga with kara
"Prenatal Yoga with Kara has been something I look forward to every week. I love feeling connected and supported by other women. I often feel recharged, plus some of the little aches and pains go away. The best part of the class is being reminded that you can count on your body during labor. I feel very confident to deliver my first baby!"~Linda Kondilis

about kara's doula services
"My husband and I wanted to add Kara to my birthing team as a Doula. After taking the Hypnobirthing class, I felt that our personalities meshed well and that she had the knowledge and the ability that I needed in the room with me as I undertook my natural homebirth experience. She proved to be an indispensable part of the experience - I can honestly say I could not have done it without her, or rather I would not have wanted to do it without her. Kara anticipated what I needed before I knew myself; she had excellent suggestions for positioning and techniques to deal with the inherent pain of the surges prior to transition. She was a positive and caring voice and force in the room, and her encouragement and thoughtfulness was exactly what I needed to overcome my slow progression in the final pushing phase of the birth. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to undertake a natural labor - she made my experience so positive, incredible and wonderful that I wouldn't have it any other way, and if and when I do it again, I will ask her to be by my side as a Doula."~Margaret Barone, Mama to Vivian
"Having given birth once without a doula and a second time with Kara’s support, I can truly say her presence made a huge difference in having a positive birth experience. I appreciated that she was willing to be flexible as we discussed a birth plan, and knowing that I could count on her to be an advocate for my wishes and my comfort throughout labor let me relax and focus on having a quick, natural birth. Her support made the birthing experience much less stressful and more enjoyable for my husband, as well."~Emily McFaul Coon, Mom to Jemma and Jesse
"My husband and I were not going to have a doula, but met Kara by chance very late in my pregnancy and immediately bonded with her. My husband and I felt confident on our own but liked Kara so much we decided to hire her as our doula "just in case" my labor did not go as planned. I only met with her a few times but the few sessions with her were very impactful and gave me the focus and state of mind needed to have the natural birth I wanted. My husband and I both realized that after the birth we felt that having her there was absolutely critical (despite the labor going as planned) and we do not know what we would have done without her. She also supported us in the days leading up to and following the birth any time I needed which was so critical. My birth experience was very positive and it is a credit to Kara's calming influence and positive energy that made it possible." ~Nancy Bennett, Mother of Julian
"Kara exceeded my expectations. From our first meeting, throughout the birth of our daughter, to meeting after being home, Kara was a calming presence for myself and my husband. She answered our questions and offered suggestions, always keeping our vision of birth in mind. Kara's knowledge and perspective of the birth process helped us to keep things in perspective and to trust ourselves. Kara's support to my husband throughout labor and delivery was awesome! Having her there gave him the extra support to be there for me and our daughter. It was wonderful to have someone to call with questions or concerns at any time, knowing that I'd get some honest advice, support or whatever I needed! Even though we met late in my pregnancy, it felt as if we'd known Kara forever! She has such a calming, warm, empathetic presence.
I really can't say enough about the positive impact Kara had on my pregnancy and the birth of our daughter. We would love to have her there the next time around!" ~Sarah Dowd, Mother of Cecilia

"Kara is a continuing source of inspiration and support though her sensitive, yet compelling style of teaching. I feel stronger now, as a result of my yoga practice with her and other fine teachers at Molly's Yoga Corner, than when I was younger. I'm calmed but tested as I slowly stretch and fix my mind and body."~Judith Trolley
