About
I didn't choose this work because it sounded beautiful. I chose it because I know what it feels like when birth goes nothing like you planned — and no one is there to catch you. At 36 weeks pregnant, I was rushed into an induction after a sudden severe preeclampsia diagnosis. I had no birth preferences document, no mental tools, and no idea how to advocate for myself. After my son arrived, unchecked blood results led to HELLP syndrome — a life-threatening complication I almost didn't survive. What should have been the most sacred moment of my life became the most traumatic. The second time around, I did everything differently. I educated myself, prepared my mind with breathwork, affirmations, and the word of God, and walked into that birth room knowing my rights and my options. I still developed preeclampsia — but my second birth was calm, peaceful, and deeply beautiful. That transformation is what I now help other women step into. I am Stephanie, The Doula MamaBear — a Full Spectrum Doula trained with the Original Birth Connection, based in Kent and serving families across Kent and London. My approach combines evidence-based birth education with spiritual grounding and mindset preparation — because how you prepare your mind matters just as much as how you prepare your body. My support covers the full journey: - Antenatal preparation - Labour & birth support - Partner preparation - Postpartum support - Baby massage - Postpartum fitness coaching I also run The Birth Den, my signature antenatal course, which blends honest birth education with the kind of faith-forward support most courses don't offer. Whether you are planning a natural birth, an induction, or a caesarean — I will help you walk in educated, empowered, and at peace.
