Stephanie was the most amazing, supportive doula. We met with her twice at our house prenatally. I had a lot of anxiety surrounding labor and delivery, but Stephanie provided us with so much information and talked through that anxiety with me. The knowledge she provided made the thought of labor and delivery a lot less scary! Whenever we had a question or needed a resource, she responded immediately. She was always accessible to both me and my fiancé by text or phone call thoughout my pregnancy.
When I went to the hospital during labor, Stephanie made it there so quickly. The triage nurse was shocked when I told her she was my doula and not a family member. She commented that she had never seen a doula arrive that early! Once in the delivery room, Stephanie immediately made it comfortable; dimming lights, using essential oils, and putting up a sound machine (we LOVED having that sound machine to distract from outside noises!). She was a support, not only to me, but to my partner as well. I loved that she included him throughout this whole process, and supported him in supporting me.
Stephanie also met with us for a postpartum visit at our house to process our thoughts on the labor and delivery and to discuss how we were adjusting. It was so helpful to have that support after giving birth.
Stephanie is one of the kindest people I have ever met. I think of her as not just my doula, but as a friend as well. I cannot imagine going through this whole process without her. She was an advocate for me and continuously encouraged me to advocate for myself and speak up throughout my pregnancy. I am so thankful for all of her support. I can’t recommend Stephanie enough.
