Ms.Stacey Was the best meeting her during the birth of my child I felt like I have known her forever as if she was a grandmother to me. My mother loved her as well , She definitely went above and beyond for my birthing of my king  .

I'm forever grateful to have the support of Stacey during my pregnancy. Unfortunately I was only able to have one virtual session with her due to me having a preterm baby but the session I did have made me feel comfortable to have her as my duala. She was warm, kind, understanding and humorous. When I went into labor I called her to let her know and she was immediately on the way to be my side during delivery day. She my voice when I didn't have the energy or mental capacity to think or speak. She was a shoulder to lean on during the entire occasion. She comforted me and supported me with whatever I needed. She helped me capture some pics and videos of the special moment my baby came out. And even after delivery she continuously made sure I was well. I highly recommend Stacey as your duality ! Truly appreciated her kind heart during this conversation special time in my life

Hello I had Ms. Stacey as my doula and to say the least I am going to never forget and will be forever be grateful for my birthing experience. I feel like she was an instant family member. So calm and caring. Even with my daughter father in the room she was never to over baring and gave us room and time to engage as well. When I needed her she was there and when I didn't she took a step back but always paying attention to see when she might be needed again. On a scale of 1-10 I give Ms. Stacey 100 thank you so much I am forever grateful. ??

Stacey Staley gave me the best support I ever wanted during and after delivering.  Stacey stood by me all the times I needed  someone. She has a way of infusing in you courage and at same time building in you that strength to believe in yourself. I can still remember Her positive outlook during those moments when I stare in her face she glow with joy confirming to my hear that I can make it. I really saw in Stacey a real sense of humor which was just what I needed.

I testify that Stacey Staley is that doula anyone will love to work with during and after delivering. Your experience with Stacey will bring you nothing but joy.

I can't say anything but good things about Ms Stacy. She was absolutely amazing!!! I thank God for her life. We met as a a back up doula  a few days before giving birth. She was  Brought in by my initial doula. I was very nervous at first but Stacey stepped right in and stood by my side as if we worked together months prior. Again she was nothing but amazing. I felt comfortable and impowered  by her constant support in and out of hospital. I  highly recommend her to anyone who needs a cheerleader and support system that genuinely cares about her clients.

I met Stacey when I was 36 weeks pregnant and I was so anxious about everything surrounding the birth of my second baby. I desperately needed a shoulder to lean on, talk to, cry, and to be comforted for the rest of my birth journey. When I reached out, she agreed to be with me right away. During our first video chat, she had a pleasant smile which just calmed me down and reassured me that I was not going to be alone in this journey. She was also very excited with me for trying a VBAC. Though the fear of potential uterine rupture and other complications associated with a VBAC scared me, Stacey knew exactly what to say to keep me on track with my goal. She was truly a sister and a friend who was constantly available through text and video calls. When my water broke at 37 weeks (within a week of meeting Stacey), she helped me through the stages of labor and made herself available via text and phone calls till I needed her at the hospital. During labor at the hospital, my husband had to step out for a bit to take care of my toddler, and Stacey stepped in right with me and was with me for the rest of my labor and birth. She provided physical and emotional support to both me and my husband when we needed the most. she was truly a wonderful support person to me and my husband. I had a successful VBAC and started a succesful breastfeeding journey. I had the support and strength I needed from Stacey to help me and my husband have this beautiful birth journey with our second child. Time didn't matter to her when she was with me and she made sure that I didn't have to worry about anything. Her rates were very reasonable and affordable for a single family income. She even stayed in touched postpartum, checking on us and offered help if we needed it. We bonded so well even though we knew each other for less than a week before the birth. Please do yourself a favor and have her as your doula and she will be all that you want her to be for your journey.

Hi Everyone, 

This is Bahar, I was really fortunate to find and hire Stacey as my doula! 

She started her professional services when I was pregnant with my second son on my 35 weeks, the services were great as she was very clear and great in explanation of the better methodologies and tactics in order to have a normal delivery, Stacey knows what she does! she is a professional and very kind heart as a mother when you are on delivery day as she proved it for me. 

I strongly recommend Stacey for a Mother who wants to experience the support of an amazing person. 

Thank you so much, Stacey! 

I will never forget your kindness and supportiveness on my delivery day. 

stay safe and keep helping other Mothers. 

Kind regards, 

Bahar
