birth & Loss support

Birth is designed to set you free.

The journey into–or deeper into–motherhood is vulnerable, exciting, and full of the unexpected.  My role as your Portal-Keeper is to hold space for your sacred birth experience to unfold as nature intends. I trust in spontaneous and physiological birth; and I offer support to help steer you through the process.


During your pregnancy I will offer guidance on the many nuances of birth that are challenging to navigate on your own. If you desire support along your journey of reclaiming birth, I'm your girl.

You are not alone.

Birth Support Experiences

Amaris's Empowering Hospital Birth

On September 13, 2024, I had the most amazing natural birth experience at the hospital that would not have been accomplished without the support of Stella.


Her knowledge of childbirth and natural pain management techniques, combined with her compassion and care, made birthing Tomori the most memorable experience of my life. Stella was fully present, calm, encouraging, and empowered me throughout labor and delivery. Her communication with me and the hospital staff was on point, and she always made sure my birth plan was respected.


THE PHOTOS. THE PHOTOS. THE PHOTOS that captured this incredible experience without me even knowing or seeing the camera all but one time.


I appreciated how nonjudgmental she was, allowing me to make my own choices (e.g. hospital) while guiding me with gentle advice (e.g. birth “plan” reframing ). Even when things did not go as planned or expected (e.g. third degree tear), Stella remained calm, prioritizing me and baby. Having her by my side during this journey was nothing but a blessing, and I would highly recommend Stella for anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, nonjudgmental and reliable doula.
