Let’s talk about ways I can support you!

My journey into motherhood started with multiple failed fertility procedures and in 2010 I became pregnant with my daughter. Life had become consumed with infertility treatments and timelines, so once I was pregnant, I had so many emotions and questions.

How would I transition from this rigorous, medical experience, to trusting that my body could handle pregnancy and birth? The answer was…with a doula’s help!

In early 2014 I trained with DONA International to become a birth and postpartum doula. I realized right away that helping families during this amazing transitional time in their lives is my passion.

In 2016 I took on the role of Agency Owner and have been loving it ever since! I still attend a few births a year and love to help families during the postpartum time, especially with breastfeeding, which is a passion of mine. But, my primary focus is ensuring that our families are matched with our amazing doulas so they can have the birth and/or postpartum experience that allows them to feel informed and empowered!

Outside of doula work I enjoy spending time with my daughter, family, and friends, especially outdoors in the fall, which is my favorite time of year. Before becoming a doula I was employed in Finance. I have a BA in Economics and an MS in Finance.

"Stephanie's support in the early days after I came home from the hospital with my baby girl was invaluable. Her help in the late afternoon and evening helped me rest and recover from my c-section and maintain an evening routine with my toddler son. In addition, washing dishes, helping with food preparation, and handling other household tasks helped my husband and I stay on top of the basics.

It is apparent that Stephanie loves supporting growing families. She was very tender and sensitive to my baby's needs, relishing any opportunity to cuddle her, and she checked in with me regularly to see how I was doing physically and emotionally. I appreciated her clear communication and reliability. She put me at ease upon our first meeting, and I was very comfortable with her.

Postpartum doula support made the transition to second-time parenthood easier, and I am so glad we got that support from Stephanie!"
