What families say

I recommend Stefanie wholeheartedly! Stefanie provided amazing and necessary support to me and my family throughout my most recent pregnancy and the birth of my son. Through her guidance and support, I was able to have a successful VBAC, using only the non-medical pain management techniques she helped us select.

★★★★★ — Sophia, 2020-12

I would highly recommend Informed Pregnancy and Birth Collective for any pre-natal, birth, or postpartum doula needs. Stefanie helped me and my husband during the pregnancy and birth of our first child, and her help and support was invaluable!

★★★★★ — Amanda, 2021-06

As a new nurse and a mom x2, I knew I wanted someone to assist me with my last pregnancy and birth. I knew I wanted to go natural and needed that support to do so. After searching high and low, my husband found Stephanie. From our first conversation, she was so attentive, understanding, caring, and knowledgeable.

★★★★★ — Trice, 2023-02

Stefanie was our PHENOMENAL doula for my and my husband’s first birthing experience together. She was an advocate of our natural birthing plan, and protector and liaison for us at times with hospital staff.

★★★★★ — Mary, 2020-11
