Motherhood Doesn't Have to Be Overwhelming

I help women live a values-driven lifestyle with autonomy and confidence, so that they have a beautiful, holistic mothering experience.  I help my clients confidently navigate the childbearing year, so that they can enjoy the beauty of motherhood without being overwhelmed by the mundane and difficult moments.  I nurture mothers through the early years of motherhood because, motherhood is on-the-job-training that you can never fully prepare for.  That doesn't mean you have to go it alone!

As a doula, I find most clients want to prepare for the physical labor and delivery experience.  The reality is that your mental strength is the most important piece.  Your birth experience, like all of motherhood, is very much guided by your thoughts.  It's been said, "whether you think you can or your can't: you are right."  This is why I offer created a beautiful birth affirmations PDF.  Simply download & print and practice these throughout pregnancy.

Birth Affirmations


After a decade of birth work, six of my own labors I can tell you with absolute certainty: birth is mostly mental and emotional strength with just a touch of physical strength. 

If you think you can do this: you can. Affirmations are a powerful tool to train your mind and emotions to have the strength necessary to have a positive experience.

Hey there! I'm SO glad you found me!
I'm Stefanie and I'm a mom of 5
For fifteen years, my deepest desire has been to be a mother.  After a beautiful homebirth, I experienced trauma due to breastfeeding problems.  Navigating breastfeeding issues caused undiagnosed anxiety and resulted in self-isolation. 

I loved the baby and toddler years. However, my mental and emotional state, at that time, was dark.  As my family grew and the daily pressures increased, I reached a "boiling point" and knew that something had to change.

I started seeking the help I needed and implementing changes that brought me from complete overwhelm and frustration to experiencing joy and peace as my new normal.

I know that confident, joyful and peaceful mothering is available to you, and I'd love to help you experience it.  If we can start you off on the right foot in pregnancy: how much easier will it be for you?
