Karina Pascoal

Karina (she/her) was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. As the oldest of 3 sisters her mother worked as a career nanny and Karina shares her passion to care for babies and families. When Karina had an opportunity to come work in the US, she met her partner and started her own family, giving birth to her son in 2014. Through her own birth and postpartum experience, she became consumed by how impactful it is to have the right support in the very beginning of the parenting journey. In 2023 she became a doula, supporting new families blooming in joy, confidence, and so much love. She believes being a doula is without a doubt work of the heart. Karina’s hobbies are aimed towards finding calmness. She is studying to get a degree in psychology, learning how our minds process information and emotions, and applies that within her doula practice. Emotional and mental health is extremely important to Karina ad she sees how having doula support significantly decrease anxiety, depression or other symptoms of emotional distress that can surface in the beginning of parenting journeys.

Karina plays piano and electric organ for relaxation. She can be found walking and spending time in nature, enjoying scented candles and vintage objects to build in her sense of tranquility.

In their own words:
“If we want to change the world, we must do it one birth at a time.” Once I
learned how much positive and compassionate support, during pregnancy,
birth and postpartum, can affect a family in not only short term but also long
term, I understood that this work could help change the world. And that be-
came my intention.
