About Carly
Founder, Gentle Roots Doula
I’m a doula serving families on the Central Coast, offering compassionate support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. As a mother myself—raising a little boy and preparing to welcome another baby—I understand how transformative and tender this season of life can be.
My intention is to create a sense of calm, confidence, and support as you navigate this journey. Whether you’re seeking education, hands-on care, or simply a steady presence, I would love to be part of your village and support you through this time.

What Clients Say
Expecting Mom Alison K.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our birthing class with Carly. She has such a natural, calming presence that makes you instantly feel at peace. She started us out with a true or false game, and it really helped diffuse any tension or anticipation we were feeling by getting us to laugh!
She’s a blessing to everyone around her, and you can really tell how passionate she is about helping women have healthy births and babies. We highly recommend her as a doula or birth prep teacher to anyone expecting!
Allyson & Adam S.
Carly was truly meant to be a doula. From the beginning of my labor, she had the perfect balance of being attentive and supportive without ever feeling pushy. Her calm presence made such a difference for both my husband and I.
My husband described Carly as an anchor for us. He was especially impressed by her steadiness and her ability to keep me calm throughout the process. Our family was beyond blessed to have Carly as part of our birth story and we will always be grateful for the care and presence she brought to such an important moment in our lives.
New Mom Drew
My husband and I are so thankful we took our birth class with Carly. She made us feel informed, confident, and truly prepared for birth. Her calm presence and practical guidance helped both of us feel empowered — especially my husband, who now feels equipped to support me well. We highly recommend her to any expecting parents!
