Staci (she/her) is a Birth and Postpartum Doula who has always felt deeply drawn to caring for mothers, babies, and growing families. What started as a love for supporting people through pregnancy and birth grew into a true passion for maternal-newborn care.
Over the last four years, Staci has had the privilege of supporting families through more than 45 births, along with many postpartum days and overnights. Each family has looked different, and that is one of the things she loves most about this work. Some parents need reassurance, some need education, some need rest, and some simply need someone calm in the room reminding them that they are doing better than they think.
Staci is also an Associate Degree in Nursing graduate, and nursing has only deepened her love for maternal and newborn health. She enjoys being able to bring together the nurturing side of doula care with the knowledge and awareness she has gained through nursing education. She is especially passionate about helping families feel informed and supported without ever making them feel judged, rushed, or pressured.
During birth, Staci loves being that steady person beside a family through the unknowns of labor. She supports with comfort measures, positioning, education, encouragement, advocacy, and simply being present through the moments that can feel exciting, intense, emotional, and everything in between.
Postpartum care holds an equally special place in her heart. Staci knows how overwhelming those first nights at home can feel, especially when everyone is exhausted and still learning each other. She loves helping parents get the rest they need while caring for baby, supporting feeds, soothing, diapering, bottle preparation, tracking the night, and helping families begin to understand their baby’s cues and routines.
Her experience includes first-time parent support, overnight newborn care, breastfeeding education, reflux and gas support, premature babies, twins and multiples, and families coming home after a NICU stay.
More than anything, Staci wants families to feel comfortable with her. She wants parents to be able to ask the “small” questions, be honest when they are tired, laugh, learn, rest, and feel like they have someone in their corner during such a tender season.
Her long-term passion remains maternal-child health, and she continues to build on her experience through additional obstetric, newborn, and maternal-care education.

I doula because I know how much it matters to have someone beside you who feels calm, caring, and truly present. Birth and postpartum are such vulnerable seasons, and being trusted to support a family through them is something I never take lightly.
“Staci was such a calming presence for our family during those first few weeks home. She came in, immediately made us feel comfortable, and cared for our baby so naturally. We were finally able to get real rest knowing everything was handled. She also kept such detailed notes throughout the night, which helped us feel connected even while we slept.”

“From the beginning, Staci made me feel heard and supported. She never made me feel like there was only one ‘right’ way to do things. She explained things in a way that made sense, supported my choices, and was the person I could look to when everything felt overwhelming. Her energy was calm, warm, and exactly what I needed.”

“As first-time parents, we had so many questions and Staci never made us feel silly for asking them. She helped us understand our baby’s cues, gave us helpful suggestions with feeding and soothing, and made the nights feel so much less stressful. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared about how we were doing too—not just the baby.”

“Having Staci overnight felt like having someone we completely trusted in our home. She was proactive, organized, gentle with our baby, and always communicated everything that happened during the night. We woke up rested and with a full update of feeds, diapers, sleep, and anything she noticed. That peace of mind was everything.”
