Stephani is amazing. She was the most supportive and comforting doula we could have hoped for. We really loved the pre-birth meetings where she gave us a ton of info and education on the physical side of labor and childbirth, along with emotional and mental guidance for us to have the mindful and peaceful birth we wanted. Stephani is called the "Mother Keeper" for a reason! I felt loved, supported, and educated throughout our entire pregnancy, labor, and birth experience. We now are lucky to call Steph our beloved friend for life and are SO glad we found her!! You will be cherished and cared for with Stephani as your Doula! Larisa Bolek 12/1/2023 I would not have had such a beautiful birthing experience without Stephani by my side. She gave us all the information we needed to know before birth to feel confident going into it as well as going into my appointments with my doctor and what to think about for my birth plan. She was there every step of the way leading up to and through my 30 hour labor and after baby girl was born! I can't express how appreciative I am of her and would recommend her to anyone! Olivia 10/2023 Steph is such a gem!! She was so supportive throughout my pregnancy, checking on me and providing resources to help prepare for birth. She was such a calming presence during the entire birth, staying with my husband and I through a very long labor and delivery - we truly could not have done it without her. I would recommend her over and over again!! Catherine 5/2023 I cannot say enough great things about Stephani! She was amazing for us! Thankfully we have formed a friendship because I am not ready to let her go. From the beginning she was there for me and my family in whatever way I needed or wanted. When I went into the hospital multiple times due to preeclampsia and then had to deliver 3 weeks early she was always there for m. She even came to the hospital the last time perm request and was my advocate while my husband was at home with our other daughter. Her kindness, loving nature and she absolutely 100% cares for you and everyone around you. Stephani is very thoughtful and knowledgeable. She also would be willing to come and help with anything extra I needed for example like cleaning the house. When we have more babies, she will 100% be our doula. I can not imagine anyone else being there with my husband and I when all this is going on. Having her there during labor was such a BIG difference. If you are thinking she may be a good fit for you, jump on that thought. You will NOT be sorry. Just meet her in person and you will see exactly what I mean. God was so gracious putting her in our lives! My anxiety would have been through the roof if it was not for her throughout this process. Thank you Stephani for everything! Laura 9/2022 I truly cannot recommend Stephani enough! She was attentive before the birth, checking in and making sure we were in communication. Her birth class was super helpful too!! I felt very confident going into labor for the first time. My midwife was inattentive and only came in to make sure the baby was healthy after I delivered him BUT STEPHANI KICKED BUTT!!! I 100% COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT HER. We were such a team and she was able to help my husband understand what I needed and was able to intuit what might help me also. Although we only met in-person twice prior to labor, it was seamless and comfortable. I truly leaned on her emotionally and physically. Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth or a hospital birth do yourself a favor AND CALL STEPH! Your body and baby will thank you I know I'll be using her for any future labors and I won't recommend anyone else!!! Super grateful, from the bottom of my heart. Lacey 5/2022 Planning an out of hospital un medicated birth was a little nerve wracking, especially because people would automatically tell me horror stories. Having my Stephani by my side made a world of difference, and I had an amazing experience! I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. She helped me not only through labor and delivery but with all of the emotions and anxieties leading up to it. She made me feel comfortable and taken care of at one of the most vulnerable times of my life. I am so grateful I had her, and wouldn’t want to do it again without her! Brittany 1/2022 Stephani was MADE to be a Doula. From day one of meeting her I felt a connection and a mothering energy about her. I am so grateful that I had her by my side for my recent birth experience. I had a Doula with my first child and although I “knew what to expect” I still wanted that additional support of a Doula for my second pregnancy. It was refreshing to have her come to our home and go through the different stages of labor and talk through our wants and her suggestions. It had been over 5 years since I gave birth the first time and I assumed everything would go the same way, I was very wrong! Every part of my birth with my second was different and as a planner by natural this threw me for a loop. I was so thankful to have Stephani by my side as I labored differently than expected. When the contractions came on strong in the end, my husband was on his way back to the hospital and Stephani was the only one there keeping me on track. In the end we had a memorable birth experience and I owe a great deal of that to Stephani and her calming nature as a Doula. |
