WHAT IS A DOULA?

A doula is more than just a birth companion—they’re a calming presence, a steady hand, and an empowering guide throughout the journey of pregnancy, labor, and birth. Trained to offer continuous, personalized support, doulas provide physical comfort, emotional reassurance, and informed guidance every step of the way. Their care often begins well before the first contraction and can extend far into the postpartum period, helping families navigate the joys and challenges of new parenthood. From modern certifications to time-honored traditional practices, the world of doula care is rich with diversity, offering a wide range of approaches and philosophies to meet each family’s unique needs.

At FDG we envision a world where women and families approach birth and postpartum with joy, confidence, and trust in their bodies’ divine design. Through education, empowerment, and unwavering support, we are transforming the culture of birth and postpartum—replacing fear and intervention with expectation, joy and sovereignty. Our work restores the sacredness of birth, creating a legacy where future generations embrace childbirth as a natural, powerful, and celebrated experience. Families will no longer navigate postpartum alone but will be surrounded by a strong village of resources, care, and community. Together, we are reclaiming birth as an experience of strength, connection, sovereignty and profound joy.

"Steph was such an amazing help, support, and resource for my husband and I during my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. She was always available for questions. And being my first baby, we had no idea what to expect and it was so reassuring to have Steph's knowledge, especially during labor. She had a calming presence and her guidance in switching positions help labor progress and deal with contractions was helpful for me and my husband. I truly couldn't imagine going through labor without Steph as my doula! Would recommend!"
