Hi there! We're so glad you found us and took the step to reach out. We're here to support you through this incredible journey.

Welcome to Doulas of Empowerment! I’m Karissa Pritchett, the founder of D.O.E., and a certified labor and postpartum doula, VBAC specialist, and childbirth and newborn care educator. After having my daughter in 2017, I became deeply inspired by the transformative power of birth. Like many, my experience included highs and lows, and I know how easy it can be to feel overwhelmed or lost in the demands of parenthood.

Let’s be real: you are more than just a parent, spouse, or coworker—you’re you. We’re here to give you the rest, guidance, and strength you need to navigate this major life transition smoothly and confidently. Together, we’ll create a plan that works for you and your family, so you can embrace this time with clarity and purpose.

When it comes to labor support, we’ll be by your side every step of the way—whether it’s guiding you through breathing techniques, offering hands-on comfort measures, helping you advocate for your needs, or simply being a calming presence when you need it most. We’re here to help you feel confident, prepared, and supported as you bring your baby into the world.

We also deeply value the diversity in our community, understanding that every journey is unique. At D.O.E., we provide unbiased, nonjudgmental support, creating a safe space where you can learn, grow, and feel empowered during this raw and transformative period.

You hold the power to shape your experience—and we’re here to help you make it everything you deserve.
