OWNER AND FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Karen

I’m so glad you made your way to Pome AyurDoula Group. I’m a mom, wife, Doula and lover of all things health and healing! I started Pome after serving as a Doula for 10 years and seeing parents go through many different practitioners before finding the answers and support they were seeking in fertility, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It is now my mission to offer a holistic home base for families to turn to for guidance in all aspects of their journey.

My favorite part of this work is sharing my knowledge to empower my clients and seeing them feel satisfied in this beautiful season of their life. Outside of Pome, I am studying for my masters in Midwifery. I couldn’t hold more honorable roles than mother and birth worker!
