HOW IT ALL STARTED
Finding Her Calling
Hello!
Before Steph became a doula, she spent years working in IVF and fertility support — walking alongside families through some of the most emotionally complex and hopeful moments of their lives.
She was there through the waiting, the uncertainty, the setbacks, and the breakthroughs. And when those same families finally got pregnant, they didn't want to let go of that support. They wanted her there for what came next.
"You've been with me since the beginning. I can't imagine you not being there."
That's how Steph became a doula.
Through those years she saw something clearly: families were navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with clinical care around them, and still feeling completely alone in it. She built her practice around filling that gap.
No fear. No fluff. Just honest, personalised support that starts wherever you are and stays with you every step of the way.
STEPH’S STORY
Steph’s Own Story
“I’ve been in that room. As a doula. As a nurse. As a mother who delivered her own baby and cut the cord.”
She had no idea she was in labour.
She'd popped into the birth suite for monitoring and just seven minutes after her waters broke, she delivered her daughter Sienna herself. There was no time for the conversation she'd planned with her obstetrician. No time for the carefully considered preferences she'd thought through.
But in those fast, raw, completely unplanned moments — she knew. And the people around her made space for exactly that.
She cut the cord. She held her daughter. And she walked away from that experience not traumatised by what she couldn't control, but transformed by what was possible when the right support was present.
“When you know what you want and you have the right support around you, remarkable things become possible.”
STEPH’S BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE
Steph spent over a decade as a registered nurse before becoming a doula, and that clinical grounding shapes everything about how she works.
Her time in nursing gave her a deep understanding of hospital environments, how care teams operate, and what genuinely helps families feel safe and informed in clinical settings.
She's also a mother of two, shaped by her own Greek and Italian heritage that places enormous value on community, nourishment, and showing up for the people you love.
Steph Believes…
All births are beautiful.
Every birth is valid. There is no hierarchy between a VBAC, a planned caesar, an unmedicated birth, or one that looked nothing like the plan. What matters is that the person giving birth felt informed, supported, and present for it.
Birth is unpredictable.
Every birth is different. And that's not something to fear, it's something to prepare for.
No judgement here.
Judgment has no place in the birth room. Not about epidurals or pain management, not about feeding, not about how a birth goes. None of it.
Advocacy is everything.
People know what they want. They just sometimes need someone to help them find the words, hold the space, and remind them they're allowed to ask for it.
Your birth team matters.
Presence and people can change everything. Walking into a birth suite and feeling a familiar, steady person beside you — that changes the room and your experience in it.
