“Stephanie was able to give us the peace of mind, comfort, support and confidence that we needed…”
Being pregnant with my little girl gave me so much excitement but also brought on many fears. Fears around birth, pain, and the many other decisions and choices that come with having a baby. My whole life, I could only dream about the moment I would become a mom and how lucky I would be to be one. But at times, I still felt overwhelmed by the unknowns of it all and the many worries that come with becoming a new parent. However, Stephanie was able to give both my husband and I the peace of mind, comfort, support and confidence that we needed but didn’t realize was so possible.
Decision making is not my strong suit! But with Stephanies support, my husband and I were both able to make the informed decisions we needed to and truly enjoyed the experience of bringing our daughter into the world. Even despite the many fears and worries that often stood in the way. Especially during a global pandemic.
Steph, you will always be so special to us and this journey - thank you for everything! ❤️

“We would not hesitate to have her with us again in the future!”
I am so so glad that we decided to have Steph as part of our birthing team! As first time parents, the entire birth process is totally overwhelming - it was a relief to have Steph’s cool calm presence to keep us from panicking. She was able to come right over to our house when I entered “labour land” as she calls it, and contractions were stronger and quicker than we expected. She made sure we were able to assess how everyone was feeling, and helped us to know when the right time to go to the hospital was (and not too early either!). Although birth rarely goes to plan, we felt comfortable in the knowledge she provided us, and really appreciated the birth preferences sheet we made together and brought to the hospital. From pregnancy, through labour and birth, debriefing my birth experience, and during our newborn haze after birth, Steph was available and so quick to answer any questions we had, even just to reassure us that everything was normal! We would not hesitate to have her with us again in the future, and without a doubt recommend her doula services! Thank you so much Steph!

“I found the home visit after we got home from the hospital to be incredibly helpful”
My husband and I are so grateful to have had Stephanie's support during the preparation and birth of our first baby. Her birth prep sessions had so much valuable information to help guide us to make informed decisions, and the creation of our birth preferences plan made us feel empowered. Stephanie was always available to answer any questions and provide us with resources along the way.
During labor, Stephanie's calm, reassuring, and supportive demeanor helped to encourage me, ensure our questions were answered, and advocate for our preferences.
I found the home visit after we got home from the hospital to be incredibly helpful. Stephanie helped us to debrief our experience, answered questions, and gave us support and ideas for adjusting to life with a newborn.
I would highly recommend Stephanie and sincerely hope she will be a part of our future births!
