Stephanie Welsh - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Stephanie

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm a Milwaukee based Birth & Postpartum Doula with over 10 years of experience supporting new and growing families. My focus is providing support and education so that the choices you make are the right ones for you. I support births in hospital, birth centers, or at home! I'm very familiar with the hospitals in Milwaukee County and surrounding areas. I have experience with medicated and unmedicated vaginal birth, cesareans, VBAC/TOLAC, twins, IVF, loss, and surrogacy. In addition to Doula services, I am a trauma informed provider and certified lactation consultant. I am currently finishing my training to become a Childbirth Educator and IBCLC!
