What my clients say about me
Vanessa M, Linthicum MD
Karen is such a natural kind hearted, and empathetic person.. She helped us all acclimate to being a family of 5, provided space for me to process the wild birth and ensured we stayed nourished. I always felt more human after she was here. I couldn’t think of a better person as a postpartum doula! Bonus is she’s an amazing cook!
Damilola O, Laurel MD
Karen’s support after the birth of my daughter was so important for me. She helped me achieve my goal of breastfeeding even though it was not easy. She made sure I was eating well and her lactation cookies are delicious! Having her support during my early parenting journey made the days easier. Every new mum deserves Karen Kelly Doula services. It is the best gift after your bundle of joy!
Yordanos E, Clarksville, MD
Karen has been an incredible support throughout my postpartum period. She answered my questions and reassured me when I was doubting myself as a new mom. Her support made breastfeeding easier, which can be challenging for a new mom. She helped me through many sleepless nights by taking care of my newborn, while I was taking napping. She is not only an amazing postpartum doula but, a friend, sister and a family. She was very flexible with her time and our need. Having a baby during COVID-19 was stressful and scary, but Karen took all the preventative measures needed to keep me and my family safe. We truly appreciate her and love her. For families who are expecting, she will be a great support.
Ashley W, Elkridge, MD
Karen gave my husband and I a level of confidence caring for our newborn that we didn’t have before. She also provided me with extremely helpful breastfeeding support, which had reassured me that I’m nursing my baby well according to his nutrition needs. Due to COVID and family being in different states we really appreciated having her in our life especially when we needed it most. She always provides affirmation that we were doing a great job even when we didn’t feel like it.
Emilie F, Parkville, MD
We cannot thank Karen enough for the support she provided the past few weeks! We learned so much and got a little peace of mind back. So glad we found her!

Karen, thank you so much for you help and care during Felix’s and my first weeks home! I will for sure remember your support, delicious meals, the way you cared for Felix, and your encouragement during our breastfeeding journey. We will miss you!
Megan I, Baltimore, MD
Thank you so much for your support over the past month. I’m so grateful that Emile got to experience your energy in his early weeks. I feel very lucky to have had your experience and problem-solving during this time. TJ and I really enjoyed spending time with you, and being able to take some time to ourselves.
As your postpartum doula, I will nurture you and your family while you rest, recover and bond with your new baby or babies. I want to help you adjust to the many changes and new challenges you will encounter with your new baby. It is my belief that when you have support, you will feel confident in your parenting and your growing family will flourish.
