Hi! I am Karly, your Postpartum Doula
Welcome to Grow in Grace Doula Care! I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a wife, new boy mom, and pediatric registered nurse based in Queen Creek, Arizona. With three years of pediatric nursing experience, I have always had a special love for taking care of little ones. My true passion lies in supporting new moms and babies, which is why I fell in love with postpartum doula care after the birth of my son. Having been supported by both labor and postpartum doulas during my birth and recovery, I can honestly say my experience would have been vastly different without their care. I believe birth and postpartum are natural and beautiful events in which every woman should feel empowered and protected. That's why my goal is to provide loving, non-judgmental care to all expecting parents, helping them experience the grace and joy that comes with their new baby!
At home, I enjoy a full and joyful life with my husband, son, two dogs, and our rabbit. Outside of my doula work, my perfect day includes reading my Bible while sipping on an iced coffee or matcha, spending time outside in the sun and grass, hanging out with my family, and podcasting!
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” - 2 Peter 3:18
I believe God is the ultimate provider and comforter during postpartum and motherhood. By rooting ourselves in Him and trusting His guidance, we experience His undeserved grace more clearly. Even in the challenges of this time, we can rejoice and find the joy of motherhood, knowing we are saved by grace alone. God doesn't call us to be perfect, just present, and I believe this holds true for mothers as well.

Fun Facts about Karly
My favorite fun fact:
I have an identical twin sister who is also a nurse! I love having a twin to share in all my challenges and accomplishments in life and nursing. She is also an incredible resource for all my questions and supports me to be the best nurse possible.
When I am not working:
My husband and I enjoy bouldering in an indoor rock gym. Even though I have a fear of heights, pushing myself mentally and physically has had such a positive impact in my life and health. I am slowly getting back into rock climbing after the birth of my son, and I already cannot wait to introduce our son to the sport.
Bet you didn’t know:
I have a podcast and have been podcasting for almost a year now! Starting a podcast was a leap of faith that has introduced me to so many incredible woman and allows me to talk about all the things I already love to talk about with my best friend.
