Improve Maternal Health

She is the area’s only board-certified Women’s Health Clinical Specialist and obstetrics-trained PT. Karen comes from the perspective of it takes a village…women benefit the most during pregnancy and postpartum when all members of the healthcare team are working together. She has developed strong relationships with physicians, nurses, doulas, and other like-minded healthcare providers that have earned her a national reputation of excellence and integrity in evidence-based obstetrics practice and is excited to share information with the Lansing Doula Network members and other birth workers in the area. Learn more about current evidence about common birth-related injuries that persist in postpartum and what PTs can do to help, how to utilize a simple screening tool to identify your patients at risk, and general guidelines for referral of postpartum moms to women’s health PTs.
