Stephanie Eberly - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Stephanie

I'm Stephanie, the owner of Gentle Birthing SC. My passion for birth work began after the home birth of my first child in 2010, when I experienced the incredible support of a midwife and birth team. That experience inspired me to help other women learn about their birth options and approach birth with confidence. Since then, I've welcomed six children through home births, including five water births, and have continued to deepen my knowledge of pregnancy, birth physiology, and natural comfort measures. The encouragement I received from my own birth team shaped the way I viewed birth, and I strive to provide that same compassionate, evidence-based support to the families I serve. In addition to birth work, I have experience supporting families during the postpartum period, providing overnight newborn care as they adjust to life with a new baby. My goal is to help parents feel supported, rested, and confident during this special season..

We hired Stephanie as our doula for our first home birth and she was amazing! She offers birthing classes which we took (this is kid #3 but you’re always learning, they were very informative and she’s a thoughtful, supportive teacher. She’s on top of communication and checking in on how you’re doing, helping you navigate pregnancy, the birth process and postpartum. During my labor and delivery she was fully present, supportive to both myself and my husband. She made sure that our needs and wants were met and helped troubleshoot where needed. She provided a steady calm that really supported my husband and I. We’d recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to hire a doula to assist in their birth!

Stephanie was an amazing person to have as a doula for our unmedicated natural birth. She provided helpful guidance for various laboring positions and natural strategies for keeping labor progressing. She was also an amazing advocate, helping us interpret what the Midwives. and nurses Told us and explaining what our options were for each procedure and intervention. She met with us twice before our due date, even though we hired her late in the game. (I believe I was about 36 weeks already by the time we hired her, but she still made time to meet with us and made sure we went over our birth plan thoroughly with her.) I would highly Stephanie to any family or friend desiring a natural childbirth!
