Meet Kelly

Hi! My name is Kelly Carlstrom. I'm a '98 Towson University graduate and currently blessed to be a wife and stay-at-home mom of two in Northern Baltimore County. My first birth experience was an induction at GBMC and the second was a natural birth delivered by a Certified Nurse Midwife at St. Joseph's Medical Center. After the delivery of the second child I recognized the need for birth doulas so it became a passion of mine to serve other women and families in this way.

I'm a certified birth doula of DONA International , the largest doula association in the world. I serve Baltimore and its surrounding counties and have supported births at St. Joseph Medical Center, Mercy Medical Center and Special Beginnings Birth and Women's Center. Since I'm close to the Pennsylvania line, I also serve York County.

I believe that our bodies were designed by God to birth. Through relaxation and positional techniques we can help manage and cope with labor. My ambition is to educate expectant families so  they understand their options, are empowered to voice their decisions so in the end they feel heard and unconditionally supported.
