Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm a Milwaukee based Birth & Postpartum Doula with 9 years of experience supporting new and growing families. My focus is providing support and education so that the choices you make are the right ones for you. I all support births in hospital, birth centers, or at home! I'm very familiar with the hospital in Milwaukee County and have experience with vaginal (with and without pain management) and cesarean births.

Birth Doula services include 2-3 prenatal visits to get to know each other, develop a sense of what your ideal birth is, and provide education. This also includes in-person labor support at your chosen birth location until 1-2 hours after delivery. 1-2 postpartum visits in your home during the first 6 weeks postpartum, which can be expanded based on your needs. Postpartum Doula services include weekly visits for the first 6 weeks after the arrival of your baby. I can provide infant feeding support based on your preferred methods, physical support (light housekeeping, snacks), education on bathing, sleep, routines, newborn behavior, as well as emotional support. Visits are usually 2 hours long and additional in person or virtual visits can be added at an hourly rate.
