Doula. Writer. Mother. Strategist.
Big Picture Thinker.
At Mardi Gras in New Orleans in 2020.
Advocating for midwifery at the Texas Capitol in 2025.
I'm Carrie Murphy, a long-time doula, writer, and copy and communication specialist for maternal and reproductive health organizations and brands. I’m also a mother, herbalist, certified breastfeeding specialist,
I use my decade-plus of experience as both a writer and as a full-spectrum doula providing direct care to families to bring clear, compassionate communication strategy to TK. That includes copywriting, TK.
As a journalist, I've written dozens of articles about pregnancy, birth, women's health, and reproductive care for publications like Elle, Women's Health, Parents, and more. These days, I focus my work on visioning and executing kick-ass communications for brands and organizations that serve parents and birthworkers. From lactation to TK, I’m TK.
I am a connector and community-builder (ask me about the neighborhood popsicle hangouts I host in my backyard!) and see my commitment to the sometime smessy TK vision as a vital part of doing communications work.
Body literacy, body autonomy, and reproductive justice inform all of my work in the world—from my writing to my support of pregnant, birthing, and postpartum people. I believe that all people should have access to knowledge, tools, and support to live healthy lives and make informed decisions.
