Dayna + Jordan

Steph was my doula before she was a doula!  I called her at the very last minute and told her I wanted her there.  I knew she was a natural doula and she did such a great job, just running off her intuition.  Steph has this knack for staying calm during stressful moments.  When things got intense, I just remember her smiling and encouraging me.  Her faith in my ability to give birth is what pushed me through a difficult birth.  Unfortunately, our son ended up with minor complications and was transferred to the NICU at a different hospital.  My husband went with the baby so he wasn’t alone.  Steph came back to the hospital, with food and drinks, and stayed with me during the rest of my recovery so I wouldn’t be alone.  When I was discharged, she drove me to the hospital our baby was at (in another city!).  None of this was expected, it was all above and beyond, yet so appreciated.  It really goes to show her level of commitment and the genuine care she has for the families she supports.  Did I mention she was 37 weeks pregnant herself?!
