Nurturing Motherhood Doula & Lactation Services

Hi, my name is Stacy, and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula as well as a certified lactation counselor. My passion lies in offering compassionate postpartum and lactation support to new parents. As a mother of three wonderful children—two older boys transitioning into adulthood and a toddler—I have experienced the challenges of being both a young mother and now, a more seasoned one. Each of my births was uniquely different, so I truly respect the individuality of every birth experience.

My journey into lactation care began after the birth of my youngest son. Having faced breastfeeding challenges with my older children due to a lack of support, I was determined to succeed with my youngest. However, breastfeeding proved to be more difficult than I had anticipated. We faced several obstacles, which fueled my desire to help other mothers navigate similar struggles. This experience inspired me to change careers and pursue a path focused on providing lactation support and nurturing families through the postpartum period.

I am now fully committed to offering expert lactation support and caring for mothers and families during this special, yet often challenging time.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology from CSU Stanislaus, and have completed the Lactation Consultant Pathway 2 Program at UC San Diego. I am a certified lactation counselor through ALPP and a Madriella-certified birth and postpartum doula. Additionally, I am infant CPR certified and fully up to date on all vaccinations. My personal experiences also contribute to the depth of compassion I bring to my work. I have navigated raising children with special needs, overcoming birth trauma, and going through IVF and a high-risk pregnancy. These experiences have shaped my understanding and empathy, allowing me to connect with and support families facing a wide range of challenges.

I believe it takes a village to raise a baby, and I am passionate about the power of a strong support system. I have established relationships with some incredible birth workers in the area and can assist you in finding the right birth support, if needed. My primary focus is on postpartum care, and I understand the importance of drawing on the knowledge of mentors in the field. Through these connections, I can also offer referrals to perinatal professionals, support groups, and community resources.

I would be honored to provide postpartum support to your family. I offer a free consultation to help determine if we are a good fit and to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to reach out.
