Kara Studenski

About

My name is Kara, and I am a mother, musician, and maternal care provider! My journey has not been a straight line, but I am so grateful to find myself in the maternal space helping other birthing people through one of the biggest transitions of their lives. I was a music teacher in the public schools for 7 years before I got pregnant with my son. Soon after getting pregnant, I was injured and had to stop teaching. So, I took the opportunity to look for a remote job so that I could stay home with my son. I worked in a nonprofit while home with my son for the first 3 years, and now I am supporting birthing people as a doula and future childbirth educator! I felt called to birth work after having my son and noticing the lack of community for birthing people. Many of us don't have the village people once did, and becoming a parent has been the greatest and most challenging part of my life thus far. I decided that I wanted to be the support people would need before, during, and after birth, because every birthing person deserves to feel supported. When not working, I love baking, doing yoga/pilates, hiking, kayaking, swimming, shopping, and going to the beach...my happy place. I also play in a saxophone quartet with my husband and two other friends we met at the Hartt school. I live in CT with my husband (Andrew), son (M), and two rescued hound mixes (Harpo and Junebug).
