About Me
​Welcome! I'm Stephanie, a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula passionate about supporting families through the transformative journey of childbirth and beyond.
​
My calling to birth work began while caregiving for families and becoming an aunt to a beautiful newborn. Witnessing the incredible strength of childbirth ignited something profound within me. At my core, I am intuitive, kind, and nurturing—qualities that form the foundation of my doula practice.
​
Birth is a powerful and vulnerable time that deserves gentle care and respect. I provide evidence-based information and create a safe, peaceful environment where you and your partner can connect deeply during your journey to parenthood. As your doula, I support you in exploring your options, examining benefits, risks, and alternatives, advocating for your wishes, and providing hands-on support throughout labor and beyond.​
​
Together, we'll create personalized birth and postpartum plans reflecting your unique needs and desires. I'll be there every step of the way, providing guidance and support to all parents.
​
As they say, it takes a village, and I'm honored to be part of your birth team. Wherever you choose to birth, I will be there with you.
​
I look forward to meeting you!
The Doula Difference:
-
Improved Birth Outcomes: My support can reduce stress and anxiety while increasing comfort, potentially leading to shorter labor, fewer medical interventions, and higher breastfeeding success rates.
​
-
Continuous, Uninterrupted Support: Unlike medical staff who change shifts, I provide consistent emotional, physical, and informational support throughout your entire labor, ensuring personalized care from start to finish.
​
-
Comprehensive Pain Management: I'm trained in various comfort measures including massage, breathing techniques, positioning, and relaxation exercises to help you navigate labor sensations.
​
-
Dedicated Advocacy: I ensure your voice is heard and your preferences are respected, serving as your advocate throughout the birth experience.
​
-
Enhanced Partner Experience: I support your partner too, offering guidance on how they can best support you, fostering deeper connection during this transformative experience.
