When I first met Stephanie during our virtual consultation, our conversation felt both easeful and beautifully direct. Stephanie had a clear vision for her birth and a strong understanding of the kind of support she desired. While I typically encourage potential clients to interview with multiple doulas, Stephanie felt deeply aligned with my model of care and chose to move forward with support that same day.
Stephanie’s husband Daniel is serving our country overseas, therefore I joined just Stephanie and her mother in the early hours of the morning supporting her physically and emotionally until her incredible midwifery team arrived, and until her husband could us join virtually.
Despite her husband’s physical absence in her birth space, Stephanie labored with remarkable bravery and peace. It was evident that Jesus was meeting her in each moment, providing exactly what she needed right when she needed it most. While filing up her birth tub, the hot water ran out. Stephanie’s loving mother made every attempt to fill up the tub by making 5 or more trips up and down the stairs with pots of boiling water. Despite all efforts, Stephanie’s body and babe were ready for birth.
By God’s perfect timing, Daniel was able to answer the call just as Stephanie began to push—encouraging her and witnessing the birth of their baby. It was truly incredible.
It was such an honor to support Stephanie and Daniel as their doula, and to witness her powerful transformation through birth.

“When I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted Callie as my doula! I had found her on Instagram prior and knew she would be everything I needed and more in this season of life. Callie was so supportive throughout every interaction and made sure I was 100% prepared for anything that could come my way during labor and child birth. I will sing her praises for the rest of my life, Callie is such a big part of how I was able to make it through such an intense unmedicated home birth. It is truly such a blessing to have worked with her and we hope she’ll be able to be part of our future births as well!”
