My Story
I am a certified doula through DONA International and a Certified Lactation Counselor. I am also an Evidence Based Birth© Instructor and Childbirth Educator.
As a birth doula, I accompany women in labor to encourage, offer emotional, physical, and informational support, and help with relaxation techniques. I can give both the mother and her partner reassurance, perspective, suggestions for different positions to help labor progress, and comfort measures.
As a postpartum doula, I offer whatever support is needed for the new mother and her family. I can help with breastfeeding initiation, newborn care, cooking, cleaning, errands, etc. and direct mothers and families to other resources that they may need.
I teach 6 week Evidence Based Birth classes and 4 hour “Crash Course” Childbirth Ed classes in Plainfield, CT and Colchester, CT as well as private in-home childbirth classes.
For pricing, questions or if you are considering hiring a doula for the birth of your baby, please feel free to reach out. ~Stefanie~
