Hi everyone! After I became a mom, I realized how much more I wish I had known. I looked back at all sorts of decisions I made in the birth process that affected my experience. My passion now is to enter the journey with others and make sure they have the information and resources that they need to confidently make decisions for themselves. Birth is also a very vulnerable and major transition in life for both the birther and the partner. My role is to provide reassurance and emotional support to both! Helping you create a plan to come as close to your desired birth experience as possible is also on my list of to do’s. You may know what you want it to feel like but you’re not sure how to achieve that. I’m here to help! Whether you’re having a c-section, a med-free birth, a birth with pain medications, a home birth or a hospital birth, I’m happy to support those decisions and make it the best experience possible. I see myself as a gap-filler. What ever seems to be missing for you (physical, emotional, or informational support), I’m there to fill it in.
-Two prenatal visits (1-2 hours) -Present through labor as soon as called in through the birth (will stay 1-2 hours after to ensure everyone feels stable and secure) -One postnatal visit (1-2 hours) *I’ll provide text, email, phone support throughout the entire pregnancy
Much of a doula’s work happens underneath the surface. There are times in people’s lives when they just need someone to understand them, intuit exactly what they need in the moment, and step into that moment and gently provide what’s needed. I’m here to offer assistance through the entire pregnancy, birth, and immediate postpartum period. We can walk through your birth preferences and create a plan together to ensure we get as close to that as possible. I can provide information and resources on anything that is important to you. We’ll go through labor positions, comfort techniques, and other strategies we can use when you need them. Once you’re in labor, I’ll come as soon as you decide you want me and stay until you’re settled in after the birth. My goal is that the birther and the partner feel fully supported and confident in themselves at the end of my time with them.
Stephanie is a Godsend! Stephanie's warm and loving presence always made us feel comfortable and well-informed during our birth journey. Stephanie cried with us in our lowest moments and celebrated beside us in our highest. Anyone who chooses Stephanie as a Doula will have a close friend, a Mother, a sister, and a knowledgeable advocate.

Stephanie was amazing. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, patient and kind, she’s exactly what you would want in a coach before, during and after having a baby. She’s there equally for both partners and the most calming presence. She’s worth every penny!
