Who is Karly?

I have an insatiable hunger for knowledge, and an adventurous soul that craves novelty & challenge. I’ve traveled all over the world alone, from riding camels at the pyramids of Giza to trekking the Himalayas to Mount Everest. I am a child of the mountains, having grown up in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico – I love hiking and forest bathing. I’m a mother to a vibrant 1-year-old boy, and expecting Baby #2.

I have a Master of Science in Psychology, and a partially completed Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’ve been an entrepreneur and business owner for 9 years as a freelance traveling model, and then in 2021 I began offering Life Coaching services with a focus on resilience and connection, as I come from a trauma-informed background.

I hold certificates in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga, and am a certified Tantric Embodiment Facilitator. I hold a current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification. In addition to my career choice in Doula work, I am pursuing an education in Diagnostic Medical Sonography to become an Ultrasound Technologist.

Passion & Pursuit

I am currently expecting my second child as well. My first birth held the greatest challenges I’ve ever faced in life. But it was incredible, and the way my birth team and doula surrounded me with support inspired me further in my own work as a doula. Throughout my fertility journey in conceiving and birthing my son, I uncovered a deep passion for all things surrounding pregnancy, birth, and babies. This led me to pursue a dynamic career that reflects my deep desire to support and inform others throughout their journey of bringing a child into the world.
