About The Doula.
Karen Martinez Zipken
I believe that all women/birthing people deserve to have the birthing experience they desire in an environment where they feel safe and supported. Nurturing, educating, and uplifting a new parent during such a sacred and transformational event is essential to my work as a doula.
My passion for social justice and advocacy surrounding maternal and child health brought me to doula work. I started my journey to become a birth doula with Carriage House Birth and then took additional training to assist with Hypnobirthing during labor. After attending a few births I realized how important assisting in the postpartum period is, so I decided to become a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor (CBC). Every birth that I’ve attended has taught me a valuable new lesson, and I strongly believe that this will always be the case, which is one of the many reason why I love birth work so much. I am also very fortunate to be supported by a wonderful village of mentors at Manhattan Birth where we are constantly learning new and exciting things about the birth world.
I look forward to working with you!
