Grounded in Faith, Rooted in Presence.
Called to Birth..
Services
Birth doula support is designed to provide guidance, education, and continuous encouragement throughout your pregnancy and birth experience. Services include an initial consultation, a personalized birth preparation course, continual availability for questions and support, and in-person labor support. After birth, I also provide two postpartum visits to help you transition into recovery and early parenthood with confidence and care.
Postpartum doula support is tailored to meet the unique needs of your family during the early weeks after birth. Services include multiple in-home postpartum visits focused on recovery, newborn care, emotional support, and practical assistance. Scheduling is flexible, with options for individual or bulk visit packages to best fit your family’s routine and evolving needs.
About Stephanie
I’m Stephanie, a Birth and Postpartum Doula, as well as a certified Mental Health Coach. I believe the Lord has called me to help women navigate the seasons of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with joy, peace, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. My aim is to equip women with the tools they need to thrive in their role as mothers.
My approach to birth support is deeply relational. I value evidence-based guidance, biblical truths, and compassionate care for the beauty and challenges of bringing life into the world. While we can’t always predict how birth will unfold, I am committed to supporting each mother and family, holding the encouragement of the Lord as we navigate the nuances of birth.
As a Christian, I believe we are all made in the image of God (Imago Dei), and that birth is a profound reflection of the Lord’s design. It is a true privilege to walk alongside families as they expand the Kingdom of God, and it is one of the deepest honors of my life.
“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.” — Psalms 127:3
Navigating Birth and Beyond
At Imago Birth, you will be encouraged and supported as you prepare for a peaceful, informed birth and postpartum experience. Having a doula means receiving emotional, physical, and spiritual support throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum season. My heart is to help mothers feel prepared for the journey ahead by discussing the stages of labor, natural pain management techniques, postpartum recovery, newborn adjustment, and what to expect along the way.
During labor, I support mothers in helping labor progress naturally and holistically by encouraging movement, different laboring positions, breath work, rest, and following the wisdom and flow of the body. Every birth is unique, and I strive to create a calm, supportive environment where mothers feel safe, heard, and empowered in their decisions.
Faith and prayer can also play a beautiful role throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am honored to offer encouragement through prayer, scripture, and a peaceful presence for families who desire to keep the Lord at the center of their birth experience. My hope is to help mothers and families feel spiritually grounded, strengthened, and supported as they walk through this transformative season.
I passionate about supporting the family as a whole. Birth is a deeply sacred and transformative experience, and I encourage couples to stay connected to one another and grounded in faith throughout the process. Fathers play such an important role as a loving support, protector, and steady presence during labor and postpartum. While the mother remains the priority, my goal is to nurture and support the unity of the entire family as they welcome new life.
Together, we will discuss your hopes and desires for birth and postpartum, creating a plan that aligns with your values and preferences. Whether you are planning a hospital birth, home birth, or birthing center experience, I am here to advocate for, encourage, and support you every step of the way. Your vision for your birth matters deeply to me, and it is my honor to walk alongside you through this season.
Testimonial
I had the pleasure of having Steph as my doula for both my babies’ births—my daughter in 2023 and then my son in 2024 —and I cannot imagine going through either of these deliveries without her by my side!
She is so amazing and invaluable and was seriously such a blessing to me and my family. She has such a calming, peaceful, presence. She makes you feel so much more comfortable and at ease. Steph was strong and had my back at all times but was very respectful and not pushy which was so important for me at the hospital and particularly helpful for me going into my first birth where everything was so new and unknown. Everything you could ask for in a doula. She knows the right questions to ask the nurses and doctors and helps you navigate how to proceed in various situations or emergencies. She discussed with me in advance of the birth my preferences and reminded me at times when things got hectic in labor but didn’t push me if I changed my mind- just supported. She prayed with me and my husband a few times when I couldn’t make a decision and helped us have peace with the decisions we chose throughout. She also had great pressure techniques to help with the labor process, and can give an amazing back and foot massage! I couldn’t imagine going through labor and delivery without her. We are all so thankful for her. She was also incredible postpartum and so supportive and helped my breastfeeding journey and recovery. Highly recommend Steph for any pregnant mama!
