My story as a doula

Meet Karlene Fox-Williams

Certified Labor Doula · Certified Postpartum & Infant Care Doula

From an early age, Karlene was captivated by the mystery and beauty of birth — the quiet strength, the sacred transformation, and the moment that life expands. When she discovered the role of the doula, she felt an immediate spark. What began as a personal calling grew into a professional mission: to build an agency of skilled, heart-centered doulas who provide exceptional care during life's most profound transitions. Today, as founder and CEO of Palo Alto Doulas, Karlene upholds her vision of inclusive, evidence-based, and deeply nurturing care for families of all backgrounds.
