About Stephanie

I knew I wanted to become a Midwife while pregnant with my first child. I had a wonderful midwife and she inspired me. After having 6 children, 4 of whom were delivered at home, I went to midwifery school to pursue the education and experience I needed to support mothers in the journey of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.
