I cannot image my birth without having Stephanie Read to help educate, guide and couch me and my Husband. Stephanie is extremely knowledgeable and was there to answer questions for me throughout my entire pregnancy. I love how Stephanie put my desires for my birth plan first with her full support. My husband and I took her education course, and we both learned so much and felt as prepared as we could be. When I started going into labor, my husband and I both knew exactly what to do.

Stephanie is amazing! She was there whenever I needed her during my pregnancy. What was most helpful was her postpartum food delivery both in the hospital and once back at home. I don't know how I would have survived nor recovered so quickly without her delicious and nutritious food. She is more than just a doula. She is an advocate, chef and body relaxer.

Stephanie helped me manage my anxiety through practicing prenatal yoga, talking through concerns, and getting in a good headspace for labor and delivery. For postpartum care, Stephanie provided support regarding breastfeeding, lactation, and the healing process. We are forever grateful!

I would highly recommend Stephanie's Doula services for she is extremely knowledgeable in her field of work and her loving, caring nature would make any mom and baby feel at ease. What I love about Stephanie is that she offers an array of services for supporting mothers and baby on many levels. I attended her prenatal workshop where she shared skills on how to cope with birthing contractions. She provided nourishing food to purify and boost my milk supply when it was low (which it did!). She soothed my baby while he was uncomfortable from gas pains by calming his digestion with an oil massage thus allowing me to get 7hrs of sleep. She is incredibly professional with a warm, gentle, motherly nature which makes her very special for this type of work.

From the first meeting I immediately felt comfortable with Stephanie. She was supportive and accepting of my decision, and very knowledgeable of all things pregnancy and birth related. She became more like a friend than just my doula. Through my induction and eventual C Section she was by my side and helping to ease my fears, and I had a lot of them! She was there for me postpartum when I had breastfeeding issues and had referrals for anything I may have needed. I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through my pregnancy and birth, and even after, without her! I’ll definitely be securing her services for my next pregnancy!!

I highly recommend Stephanie and her doula services! She provided wonderful care and education to my family before, during, and after the birth of our baby. Her childbirth education class helped us feel more prepared and at ease as first-time parents. She came to our house in the middle of the night on Christmas day and spent most of her Christmas with us at the hospital as I labored. Stephanie was so positive and supportive that day, even though she was away from her own family! She came to our house the next week for a follow-up visit to make sure baby and I were doing ok. Stephanie is knowledgeable, caring, and passionate about bringing babies into the world!

After expressing to our OBGYN that I wanted an unmedicated birth she strongly recommended a doula. I met with her [Stephanie] and felt like we immediately clicked. I love that she's a good mix of the more holistic side and the traditional medicine side of birth. We did her childbirth class which my doctor said she preferred over the hospital class. When it came time for the main event. I stayed in contact off and on during the day with Stephanie. I was thankful that she was so adamant that mama knows when it's time to go to the hospital. We called when we left, and she was there as soon as we had a room. She kept me so comfortable and focused throughout labor I don't know if my husband would have been up to the task. It was so wonderful for him to just be able to be there instead of having to coach as well. We'll be doing it all over again in a couple years and I would want anyone else in there with me!

We are a first-time parents and very nervous about having our first baby. My doctor recommended Stephanie for prenatal yoga and I attended. I loved her prenatal yoga classes and when she told us she was also a doula, I was very excited. My husband and I are very grateful that we choose Stephanie to be our doula and help make the birth process a memorable experience. We love her sweet spirit and personality. We highly recommend her and will gladly have her as our doula again in the future.
