I’m Karen Mitchell
Birth, breastfeeding and baby consultant
The Freefall Grandmother
Birth Consultations
“Birth is 80% psychological. Your body knows how to handle the physics-it’s your mind that needs rewiring. I’m the Freefall Grandmother and I help you “shut out the noise and trust the fall”
Baby and Breastfeeding
Every new baby and breastfeeding experience is different. Let’s tap into how you can best serve yourself and family through the most important transition of your life.
“I’ve taught hundreds of people how to jump out of airplanes, and I’ve spent 35 years supporting women through birth. Want to know the secret?
BirthworkBefore i became a doula, i studied acting under Uta hagen in New York. The single biggest thing acting teaches you also related to childbirth.
Bringing Baby Into Love
Stop trying to perform birth or follow a rigid script. Unclench your jaw, drop the performance, and listen to your gut.
The fourth trimester
Breastfeeding, baby and your body enjoy the first few months of parenthood. Strengthen your relationship and enjoy the learning curve.
Why book a session?
You don’t need the perfect plan.
You don’t need all the answers.
What you do need is:
- A basic understanding of what’s happening
- The right kind of support
- And permission to take this one step at a time
This is the beginning—not something you need to have mastered.
And you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Who would benefit from a consultation?
– Expectant mothers (and partners )overwhelmed by contradictory advice, medical opinions and internet noise. – Parents who want to feel empowered, calm and grounded in their decision making – Second time mothers looking for a different, more intuitive birth experience after a chaotic first birth

About Me
I’ve spent 35 years studying human presence, trust and the art of surrender. Before I became a mother to four and grandmother, I studied acting at Studio 58 in Vancouver and under Uta Hagen in New York. I learned how human beings hold tension, how breath creates power and how presence overrides fear. Then I met my ex-husband skydiving. We ran a parachute centre where I taught students how to manage absolute terror, trust their equipment and surrender to the freefall. When I gave birth to my first son (above with his son) I realized something profound. Birth is the ultimate freefall.
