I’m Karen Bayne. I’
m a birth doula and childbirth educator. I live in Northampton, MA with my husband and three boys. I am currently serving as President of the Green River Doula Network. I am proud to be a MotherWoman board member and facilitate a MotherWoman support group at the Amherst Family Center. As a doula, I have been nurturing mothers, their partners and new babies since 2003. When I’m not working with my clients, I might be found writing about birth here on the Gentle Balance Birth blog, or reading, cooking, gardening, knitting and running around with my boys.
I have an excellent reputation among my clients. I’d be happy to provide references to you – real parents who invited me to their births. They’d love to speak to you about what having a doula meant to them.
