We absolutely loved Stephanie! When we were pregnant with our first child in 2015, my husband and I had taken a birth bootcamp class but at the closing of the class we felt underwhelmed and still unprepared for what exactly to expect and how to cope. We desperately searched for a doula at 37 weeks so we could have some assistance and fell in love with Stephanie as soon as we met. She has such a warm, calm, and loving presence and offered support and answers to our questions but also tried to make it simply about me and my husband. During my labor, she was comforting and peaceful, quick to make sure my husband felt involved and at ease in helping me cope with the contractions. Even though we had an idea of what to expect when we got pregnant with #2 but we felt Stephanie was an invaluable asset and an essential part of our birth plan. She was incredible again, providing support and guidance whenever I needed help and even brought oils to help with my nauseau and discomfort, and a rebozo to help with my hip and lower back pain during contractions.
Stephanie is a wonderful person and fantastic doula! We would recommend her everytime!! Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, having a doula like Stephanie will help you achieve your best labor possible.
