Meet Karen

I’m Karen Shlegeris, passionate childbirth and parenting educator, doula and yoga teacher, and founder of Birth & Baby Village in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast.

For over 25 years I’ve been working with women just like you to demystify birth, so I know how common it is for women to feel afraid of giving birth, overwhelmed with information, and anxious about motherhood. I’m here to make it easy for you, so you can enjoy your pregnancy and look forward to the birth of your precious baby.

My new book is here! It's perfect for anyone who wants to know the secrets to having a good birth. And to read lots of positive birth stories too.
