Welcome! My name is Carla!

Im a proud founder of Empowered Peace Birth Services. With over 15 years of experience as a Certified Birth Doula, Certified Lactation Educator, Childbirth Educator, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, and Holistic Wellness advocate, I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and empowering support to women and families throughout their birthing journeys.

My passion for birth activism and holistic living drives my commitment to honoring the unique needs and preferences of every woman I support. I believe that birth is a profound, sacred experience, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where you feel heard, respected, and in control.

Beyond my work as a doula, I’m also an advocate for holistic wellness, guiding families toward natural, balanced living. When I’m not assisting new mothers or sharing wellness practices, I’m nurturing my creative side as a ceramic artist or spending time with my big, farty dog, Nelson, and my two grown children who inspire me every day.

Whether you're planning your first birth or navigating the postpartum phase, I'm here to support you with knowledge, empathy, and unwavering encouragement. Let’s create a birth experience that feels authentic, safe, and truly yours.


My Approach

At Empowered Peace Birth Services, our approach is grounded in love, respect, and the belief that every woman deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported during her birthing journey.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. We take the time to truly listen—so we can meet you where you are, honor your values, and walk alongside you with compassion and intention. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, our role is to help you tap into your own power, advocate for your choices, and enter motherhood with confidence and peace.

Our Goals

  • To provide personalized, culturally-aware, and holistic birth support

  • To reduce fear and anxiety through education and hands-on care

  • To build lasting relationships with the women and families we serve

  • To uplift and empower women—especially those often overlooked or underserved

our “why”

Because birth is sacred.
Because support should be a right, not a luxury.
Because we’ve seen firsthand how powerful, healing, and transformative birth can be when women are truly supported.

This is more than work for us—this is purpose.
