HEY I'M STEPHANIE!
My hearts desire is to enable, and equip women to make informed decision about their birth because an empowered woman becomes an empowered mother, and an empowered mother can transform families.
I believe that midwifery care is more than just delivering babies, it requires nutrition education leading to healthier pregnancies, postpartum support and resources for breastfeeding, and emotions mentoring. The process of birth doesn't end when baby is out, postpartum is one of the most valuable seasons of a mothers life, and she shouldn't have to do it without support!
WELCOME TO ROOTED MIDWIFERY
My love for birth began after a clinical nursing rotation in obstetrics. I was fascinated with the strength of women and the miracle of birth - that season marked me, even though my path went in a different direction. I went on to start a family, and each of my five children were born in a hospital setting. I remember not knowing there were other options, wishing I would have been more informed because every woman deserves to make decisions about her birth and have her questions answered. After discovering these other options, I dreamed of one day becoming a midwife so that I could create space for women to make informed decisions for themselves and feel empowered in the process. I am now a licensed professional midwife, CPM, and have been attending births since 2016!
That dream of creating space for women to make informed decisions for their best birth has now become a reality through the creation of Rooted Midwifery! I would love for your dream birth to become a reality for you!
I have been married to my husband Donovan since 2001 with five amazing children together! My hobbies include being the biggest fan to those 5 kids, traveling, gardening, pottery, and hiking!
