Stephanie is a trained birth doula, and received her certification through Madriella and Birth Arts International. Stephanie has always been fascinated with pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the incredible feats the human body can achieve. After the birth of her second child, she gained a new sentiment towards her perception of birth and started following a path to help guide mothers to the best labor and birth experience possible. Birth is a transformative experience, and Stephanie is passionate about working to improve the birthing experience of others. She focuses on her clients and their partners by providing educational, emotional, and physical support. Her main goal is to help expectant mothers have a judgement-free, safe, and positive birth experience, regardless of their circumstances. Stephanie’s calming presence helps instill a strong sense of comfort and confidence in families. Her caregiving and optimistic nature help families feel well cared for throughout their birth experience. As a big self-care advocate, Stephanie feels it’s very important to pour into oneself before being able to pour into others. She is experienced in a variety of holistic practices including herbalism, healing stones, nutrition, and meditation as part of health and wellness. In her free time, she loves gardening, enjoying nature, and experiencing new places and activities. Stephanie is innately creative and greatly enjoys crafting and DIY projects.
