"Having Stephanie be a part of our birthing experience was the single best decision we could have made for our first child. We were nervous about the birthing processes and wanted to gain more knowledge and techniques to help with natural birth. When my contractions started getting stronger, we called Stephanie, and she was ready and prepared to help us. She met us at the hospital, teamed up with my husband, and gave me the best support to follow through with unexpected 12-hour labor. She was understanding and sympathetic to my needs and decisions. We shared a special experience with her, and she is someone who will always be a part of our family."

"As soon as I met Stephanie, I felt her warmth and comforting presence. She exudes calm and self-assuredness. And right away, I could picture her at my birth. We met a week before my due date, so there wasn’t a whole lot of time to prepare. Right away, she dove into checking in with me, making every effort to get to know and support me leading up to the big day. When the time came, she showed up full of positive and ready-to-go energy. She helped create a calming space in the L&D room with aromatherapy, music, and hanging up my birth artwork. I can’t even fully describe how much of an asset she was throughout my labor - her massages, acupressure, applying heat/cooling, and suggestions for positional changes helped provide relief, comfort, and strength throughout. She was consistent and present, whether holding my hand or reminding me of my birth visualizations/mantras. Most of all, she provided the space and support to help my husband, and I connect and lean on one another, as we both felt safe and cared for. It was such a positive experience working with Stephanie, and I’m incredibly grateful for her presence in welcoming my son into the world." - Rachel Pacio.

Postpartum Doula
"Working with Stephanie was such a joy! I was terrified of childbirth, especially needing a csection, and wanted extra support. When my baby came a month early, Stephanie was there at the hospital same day and ready to help. She was warm, knowledgeable, and so supportive to both my partner and me. She came and helped us out postpartum and continued to remind my partner and me that we ere doing great. One of the most helpful things was her support with lactation. As a FTM I had no clue what to expect and she not only coached me through it, but also utilized extra resources. Without the support from my doula I'm certain my birth and postpartum experience would look different. So grateful for Stephanie's services and would absolutely recommend her to any mamas to be!"

"Stephanie was an amazing doula for us! She equipped me with the exact videos, articles, and personal tips needed to prepare myself mentally AND physically for birth. She also educated me and my partner the different stages of labor and showed us positions that would help me alleviate the intensity of labor contractions.
At the early stages of labor, she was there to setup everything needed to help me relax, such as sounds, smells, and one of the best foot massages I have ever had! Once we got into active labor, she was there coaching me on my breathing, helping me stay calm and she was not afraid to be wherever I needed her to be.
She also supported my boyfriend by giving him time to take breaks as she stepped in to be my full support at times.
One thing I would really note is that she was an advocate for me during each step, making sure the hospital followed my birth plan and listened to all my needs and concerns.
It didn’t stop at the birth though. Stephanie supported us during postnatal helping us transition our home with baby stations. Gave us tips for feeding and better sleep. She meal prepped a healthy recipe and assisted with my plans for breastfeeding/pumping. Just an all around doula for all stages of our new lives.
I am grateful to have had Stephanie as a member of my birth team and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking support for their pregnancy."

@signsofharmony (Stephanie) came into my life just at the right time when I was in need of a doula’s support, love, and guidance with my vision.
Stephanie, a New York native, Dominican descendant. A down to earth, authentic, real one that embodies what Latina sisterhood love is and empowers you as in your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
She became my North Star from that point on.
She supported my vision from beginning to end, and when I was about 30 weeks and realized I did not want to birth at Kaiser but had made no attempt to locate a midwife— Stephanie gave me a referral that would quite literally change the course of my second experience with childbirth.”
Super grateful for our connection. It set it all in motion 🫶

Alex + Jack’s testimonial:
From the very beginning, when we met Stephanie at the Little Company of Mary’s Nesting Party, we had a great feeling about her. She greeted us with a warm sincerity about her, and we knew even before the interview, she was going to be our Doula!
In one of the most intimate and intimidating experiences of my life, giving birth, she always kept us at ease and made us feel in ‘the know’ throughout our prenatal visits and the day of.
She was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable in her craft. Always answered our texts and phone calls quickly, which was really important to us knowing that she was there when we needed, which took a lot of worry away from us.
The day of Jade’s birth, she made sure the nurses and doctors stuck to our birth plan… leaving medications out of it, unless otherwise needed.
I am so grateful to her for helping me power through, with her pep-talks, massages, suggestions on changing positions to help baby be in the right position for birth…
I was only able to engage the right muscles to push when she told me the trick… and minutes later, my precious angel was in my arms!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I tribute that to Steph!! 💕
She even encapsulated my placenta for me, which has been really helpful this postpartum journey. She is made for this title—doula, and I thank God for bringing her into our life!🙏🏼
