When we asked Karcy, what the inspiration was behind her business The Birth Friend, here's what she has to say....
"As a nurse with a passion for health education and now a mother of two, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of raising greater awareness around pregnancy. It’s a holistic journey with many interconnected aspects that deserve more attention and understanding. I’m inspired to connect with expectant mothers, sharing both my personal experiences and professional knowledge to help guide them toward a positive, empowered transition from pregnancy to motherhood."
As moms, it's hard to manage everything all at once so we always wonder how these incredible boss moms do it...
And for Karcy, it's definitely not easy too! But because of her love for both, mothering and health/birth coaching, she gets to do it with less stress because she lives what she does and makes sure also to ask for help when needed.
Here's what you can expect from Karcy as a client of The Birth Friend:
"They could expect a fun relaxed experience as if they're just talking to a friend. That's why I am the birth friend. as much as possible I want to remove all hesitation and angst from our moms to be. Learning should be fun not just informative. I am also very flexible to our mom clients' need."
