Karina Gerbers

My name is Karina, owner of Koinonia Birth Services. I have always been fascinated by women, babies, and all things birth.  When I became pregnant with my first baby, I was so excited to learn about my body's changes through pregnancy and enjoyed watching birth stories. Giving birth to him brought this birthing goddess out of me that I didn't even know existed. It was impressed upon my heart to lead women to the same revelation about themselves. I have been a stay-at-home mother for three years now and have a deep understanding of the bond between mother and baby. I have had drastically different breastfeeding journeys with all my babies as well as varying postpartum experiences. These factors have taught me a lot about maternal mental health and the importance of support in the entire childbirth and postpartum periods.

When I’m not wearing my doula hat, I am a worship leader at my local church. I have three boys and a little girl, all four years old and under! We enjoy exploring, hiking, and camping together as a family. I collect plants and often go looking for oddities at antique stores whenever I get a moment to myself.
