A little about me
Hello!!
I’m Steph – plus sized mom of three rolling through my 30’s (way too fast) with my husband and our lab Jeter.
Most times you’ll find me doing all things mom for the 3-, 10- and 11-year-old. Our life is a blur of busy, organized crazy chaos but it’s our beautiful crazy chaos and I wouldn’t change one minute of it.
In between being a mom, a wife, and your doula – I am also employed full time. Don’t worry – I have the flexibility to support my clients with all their needs. I’ve also really enjoyed my time volunteering with the Ronald McDonald house here in Red Deer and my hope is to spend more time there come spring of 2024.
When we aren’t in go mode for the day to day, my husband and I try to balance the chaos. We enjoy the mountains (nothing beats the fresh mountain air), travelling when we are able, and every possible concert we can cram into our lives.
FUN FACT: we have travelled over 4000 kilometers to see Chris Stapleton in concert.
My biggest fear would have to be wasps; irrationally so. So, if you’re planning an outdoor birth at the end of summer, I might not be your perfect match. Id most definitely lose all of my composure, should one decide to grace us with its presence.

My goal as your doula is this….
To be a constant unwavering support. To share strength & knowledge through this magical, powerful, and sometimes scary journey. My intention is to honor you and your wishes (whatever they may be) regardless of your religion, skin color, BMI, body size or ability, by providing tailored information coupled with emotional and physical support every step of the way.
Whether you are welcoming your first, or seventh baby – you are entitled to the same unconditional love and trust.
There is no one size fits all support plan; my aim is that you can lean in on my love and education of the birth space to empower yourself, and to help you trust and honor your intuition. I plan to hold space with you, and for you and to be your comforting familiar face. I will cheer you on and remind you of what a badass you really are; and I will cry with you when you welcome your baby earthside.
