Without Stephanie, I probably wouldn’t have had my VBA2C. Right from the start, her recommendations led to my successful VBAC. At the time, I couldn’t find a supportive provider, and her suggestion led to the perfect set of midwives. During pregnancy, her books, YouTube suggestions and methods for preparing myself were invaluable. I had an incredible amount of fear and anxiety built up from my previous 2 c-sections. Not only did she help me to stay calm in moments of anxious waiting, but her advice prepared me for my birth in the best way possible. Stephanie met with me and reached out after each appointment. By the time labor started, I felt peaceful and safe. Having her on call calmed not only me but my husband as well. It was just nice to have another trusted person weighing in on when to start driving to the doctor, etc. She met us at the hospital and that’s where I was the most impressed and so grateful to have her. She was amazing. I could mumble a request and she’d leap to get it. When I looked uncomfortable, she immediately jumped in make things better. It allowed my husband to focus on holding my hand and helping me breathe through contractions without leaving me in discomfort or without an advocate with the staff. I felt so safe and focused that the contractions remained manageable and the birth itself was beautiful. My son came and I couldn’t believe he was already there – the experience had been so smooth and peaceful! When I look back, many of the good decisions I made trace back to something Stephanie said or suggested. I am so thankful and highly suggest her as a doula!

Stephanie helped so much throughout my labor, I am truly grateful for her support. She was so lovely since the first phone call and her calming energy was exactly what I needed. Throughout my pregnancy she kept in touch and we met a few times. In the beginning I was feeling discouraged by my current prenatal care and she encouraged me to keep searching for what we wanted and not to settle and I’m so glad she gave me the extra push because we found a midwife that was available and she was incredible as well. Stephanie was a huge part in why my labor and birth was an amazing experience. She helped encourage different positions and movement that helped during the contractions. The counter pressure she applied through every contraction was life saving and exactly what I didnt know I needed. Though we were able to have the birth we wanted and prayed for, having a doula there to help support you is so needed. As a first time mom I did all the research but at the end of the day, in labor I wasn’t using my decision making part of my brain and I’m so happy I didn’t need to. Hiring a doula was a huge reason I was able to have the birth I dreamt of and I’m so grateful to Stephanie for all of her support.

Stephanie was an absolute angel for me during my birth! My son came 6 weeks early and Stephanie was ready to be there for me the moment I let her know my water broke. She helped keep me calm with a calming massage, pressure therapy and even aromatherapy. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula!

Even over the phone, I could tell you are a very loving and motherly person. Very interested about me and my journey. That is exactly what I needed to get through labor and birth.

Stephanie is such a caring and thoughtful person to have with you through the whole process. I was definitely apprehensive trying for a VBAC with my second kiddo but she helped keep everything calm and her suggestions of how to move and handle labor were just what I needed! I am so thankful to have had her as part of my labor team.

Stephanie is all of the things you would look for in a doula. As a FTM planning a natural birth, I wanted to have a doula there to help guide me through my labor and I am so glad that I found Stephanie. From the very beginning she was so informative and helpful. During our prenatal visits she did a child birth education course with us and went over anything that we could possibly expect during labor. Once my labor actually began, she was there instantly. She set up our room to be peaceful and relaxing. She helped support me through contractions and pushed me to get into new positions every few contractions. She also made sure that my husband was a big part of the experience and stepped back when he stepped in. They were an amazing team. From start to finish we are so thankful to have Stephanie be a part of the whole experience. I had the natural water birth that I always envisioned for myself, and I really don’t know if I could have done it without her. And to top it all off, Stephanie took pictures for us through the whole process that we will be able to look back on and cherish forever. I couldn’t recommend Stephanie more if you’re looking for a doula!

We loved working with Stephanie! She is so knowledgeable! We were planning a home birth after a C section so there was a lot to learn and process. Stephanie did an amazing job checking on us and making sure we had all our questions answered. She was also really encouraging when we went past our due date. During the labor and delivery she gently gave very helpful suggestions and took wonderful pictures of our birth!
Mindy
Wonderful support, great value, amazing experience. Could not have done it without out you 🙂
Kristin
Stephanie was amazing through the whole process and really shined during labor. She made us feel very comfortable and definitely helped ease the nerves and pain! Even when things had to change from our birth plan, she encouraged us to take a minute to discuss our options while providing us on the spot education for things we didn’t plan for. Even after the birth Stephanie continued to show love and support with occasional check-ins.

This was our first birthing experience and had no idea what to expect. Stephanie laid out everything for us prepping us as much as possible and I’m so glad she did so we didn’t go into it blind. She not only helped make me feel comfortable and ready, but she made sure my husband was as well. It was a long 19 hour labor and Stephanie was by our side the entire time reminding me that I am strong enough and made sure my needs were met. I’m so glad to have found her and will definitely use her again next time!
