 "Stephanie was a fantastic postpartum doula.  She eased my burden in many ways, following the birth of my fourth child.  Her presence was calming, and full of grace.  Stephanie was a welcome respite for a tired mama!"

"Stephanie has a remarkable love for mothers and babies. God gave her the gift of encouragement. My breastfeeding journey with both of my children was full of unusual struggles. I fought for many months with each of my children to be able to breastfeed. Stephanie fought with me every step of the way. When the day came when I had to stop she was there to mourn with me as well. She loved me through the ups and downs and never gave up even when it was at its hardest. She believes in breastfeeding, she treasures the bond it creates with your sweet baby and she has the knowledge to guide you through the struggles. Even though my breastfeeding story doesn't end with years of successful breastfeeding I am a stronger person for it. Stephanie will never know how her gentle hand of encouragement touched my life. I have two healthy and happy formula fed babies and Stephanie helped me except that it was okay. She is a blessing and I couldn't be more thankful."

"Two years ago I gave birth to our last child and I was determined to nurse her since I never was able to nurse my other children. Nursing became a challenge for not just myself but for our newborn daughter. I felt hopeless and didn’t know what to do. Stephanie became my lactation consultant and she was amazing. She gave me the confidence I needed to push through what felt like a failing time. She gave me her undivided attention and showed me how to work with my daughter to get her to latch correctly and things I could do to help produce more. Though I unfortunately wasn’t able to continue nursing past three months due to my body just not physically being able to produce, she never once made me feel like a failure. She supported me all the way to the end and more. She helped me cope with what may come naturally to most mothers, just doesn’t always work for ALL moms. I am the small percentage that couldn’t produce but I was able to try for three months and have that bond with my daughter thanks to Stephanie because she never gave up on me. She never made me feel bad because I wasn’t able to continue nursing but made me feel accomplished in succeeding to try. "

"Stephanie breathes comfort and stress relief when it comes to breastfeeding, especially to a new parent like me. As a first time mom breastfeeding, it was challenging the first few weeks, but I was able to push through and know that I have a shoulder to lean on when I have doubt. No question was too little or too much for Stephanie. Not only was she there to guide me through the wonders of breastfeeding, but also what to expect and how to handle situations dealing with breastfeeding, from latching to teething! She is very resourceful and reassuring, which is what I love and respect!"
