Gentle Care Birth Services

Welcome! I imagine you are here because you are considering doula services for yourself or someone you love. I would absolutely love to be part of your journey as you learn about and consider using labor support.

 

My name is Carrie Bohanan. I have been a childbirth doula since 2006 and a childbirth educator since 2009. I am certified with DONA International and trained as a childbirth educator with the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth (AAHCC). 
 

My husband and I have five children. My first baby was born by a cesarean birth. When I was expecting my second baby, in an attempt to learn my birth options after cesarean, I was catapulted into the world of doulas and childbirth education. Long story short, I went on to have four more births after my cesarean birth. One of these VBACs (vaginal birth after cesarean) was with the use of an epidural and three were without pain medication (one of which was intentionally born at home with a midwife present).

 

After my third baby, with one cesarean birth and two natural births as personal experience, I realized that I wanted to help women have the births that they wanted. I pursued my doula training and childbirth education certification. Because of my own varied birth experiences, I have a great understanding for women who have different desires for their births and support them unbiasedly in their personal goals for their births. I have attended over 200 births as a doula and it is truly my passion to help couples have the births that they are hoping for. It would be my joy and honor to serve you as your doula!
