Welcome.I'm Stephanie, your home birth midwife!
With my own deep ancestral roots in midwifery, I’m here to help you tap into your own power while feeling safe, seen, and heard.
I didn’t choose midwifery—midwifery choose me! This work is in my blood. My paternal grandmother was a Grand Midwife in the South, and my maternal grandmother was a nurse. I was called to midwifery after my own birth experiences, and working with families in my community who continually felt unheard and treated unfairly.
I first stepped into birth work as a birth sister (doula), then became a certified lactation consultant and childbirth educator. I served families in these roles for 8 years before becoming a midwife. I wanted to do everything I could to help parents in my community make informed choices to improve birth outcomes and lessen their risk for birth trauma and interventions. After graduating from college, I moved into my destiny of becoming a home birth midwife with the guidance and support of my community and mentors.
My mission as a midwife is to help Black parents reconnect and reclaim the rich culture surrounding pregnancy and childbirth. I love providing nurturing care to my families and seeing new parents thrive.
I was raised in Dorchester, MA, where I still live with my two daughters. In my free time, I enjoy reading, dancing, beaches, and spending time with family and friends.
