Embodied Alchemy

Stevie is an ICEA Certified Birth Doula, trained toLabor doula, trained Hypno Doula, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist (PBiU), and certified Birth Assistant through Mercy in Action. Stevie also leads yoga classes, including pre and post-natal (e-RYT 500). She was called to birth work after leading thousands of hours of movement alchemy through the lens of yoga. Observing students explore embodiment, embrace their power and incredible potential, inspired her to support women in much the same way as they embark on one of their greatest life experiences. She believes in compassion and respect in every birth.

“I came from Love and I am Love and I will return to Love. Love casts out fear.” Stevie truly believes that this is the essence of who we are, and that we can infuse love into every part of our being in order to be of greater service to ourselves and the community at large. Few things in her life she has known with absolute certainty. All of which have been callings to serve.

Stevie’s intention is to encourage clients to become active participants in their birth, and support clients so that they may cultivate a sense of confidence and power which can be carried forward into their parenting as well as their daily lives. Pregnancy, labor, and birth serve a purpose — to help prepare the way to raise a child. Stevie believes that all people benefit from support and resources that will help them be aware of, and educated about, the options and choices that are available so that they may make informed decisions concerning their birth experience. She embraces the evidence that a person who actively participates in their birth will have a healthier birth for their baby, their-self and their family; physically and emotionally.

When she isn’t present in birth work, Stevie can be found dancing on her own mat, co-leading yoga teacher trainings, or leading community practices. During her “free time”, she may be immersed in her own study, enjoying live music, eating delicious food (chocolate is a food group, right?!), wandering outside, or (most likely) chasing her sonshine. Stevie received her baby at home surrounded by a close circle of caretakers.
