Testimonial for Stacy Helm

I cannot say enough great things about Stacy. I rave about her to everyone and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to feel empowered to have the birth they want.

Right from the start Stacy helped us make educated decisions by providing unbiased research on topics and giving us insight on how other parents approached these decisions. Stacy also pushed us to think/talk about different situations we hadn’t discussed yet, what our plan of action would be and what kind of support we may need.

I had a pretty easy birth, almost entirely at home, and even though Stacy wasn’t physically with us until later, I felt she was with me the whole time. We texted back and forth as I progressed through labor, and she reminded me to trust my body and let it do its work. Once I could no longer text, she gave my husband the support he needed to support me. When things got intense, my husband and I both felt confident and in control because we had Stacy behind us.

Once we got to the birth center, Stacy was right there to help me get into a good pushing position and take pictures and video for us. Our son came pretty quick, before the rest of our planned support team could make it, so without Stacy we would not have been able to capture those amazing moments. And it was Stacy who taught me how to breastfeed. Since birth, Stacy has continued to offer her support by answering tons of questions, giving me tips and encouraging me. She is super knowledgeable and well connected to the STL community, there hasn't been a question or request for a recommendation that she couldn't answer.

When I tell people my birth story, some say “Well I guess you didn't need a doula afterall.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Stacy was a true source of peace and calm throughout my pregnancy, labor and journey into motherhood, and I credit her with helping me find balance and happiness during a time of change and chaos.
