Stephy DC postpartum doula

Stephy, Certified Full Spectrum Doula & Certified Lactation Educator

Perinatal equity and reproductive justice are at the center of my doula work. I strive to be an advocate for the families I work with and provide a safe space for families to transition into parenthood.

I have newly completed my full spectrum doula training and am excited to provide services to DMV families that are filled with empathy, listening, hands-on support and collaboration to create the life they envision as parents.
