Client Reflections

  • For the birth of our second child, we decided to use Stephanie's services. Stephanie was the first Doula we spoke to and the search ended as soon as we spoke to her on a video call. We knew right away we wanted her to be part of this journey with us. She has this calm and kind aura the eases your own energy when you are around her.

    During the labour and birth, Stephanie was not only a support to me but also my partner. She used that calm energy to keep us grounded and helped with our anxiousness. While supporting us through the labour and birth she even managed to capture beautiful moments in photos of us.

    I would refer Stephanie as a Doula or a support person to anyone in a heartbeat!

  • “The emotional and psychological support that the doula offered me was huge. In addition, she was available often on short notice, which was very helpful for my family. Having the immediate support when needed enabled me to get the sleep that I needed to be the best mother to my family.”

  • “Stephanie has been a blessing for my Wife and I - First time parents of a Baby Girl. She came to us at a very pivotal moment in our lives and helped us out in such a genuine and comforting way that it felt like she was family. The pandemic had made it worse for us to find help with our newborn, but the transparency and accountability Stephanie displayed, really put us at ease and made us all the more grateful for her help.

    I would highly recommend Stephanie for her Doula services - with newborns, infants, toddlers - the whole lot! We even had her over for extended overnight stays and given the dexterity and confidence she handled us and the baby - we slept with a profound sense of peace!

    5 Stars all the way through! - Thank you Stephanie!”

  • Description goesI had an amazing experience with Stephanie as my doula. I wasn't sure at first whether a doula was right for me as I have a super supportive partner and thought we could be OK on our own, but I'm so glad I trusted my gut and went for it for the extra support. At my birth, Stephanie created a zen space for us, helped to comfort me in all the ways we had discussed prior, and she was able to give my partner some much needed rest throughout the process as well. It was so helpful.  

    At the end of the day, working with Stephanie helped me feel ultra-supported throughout the whole process and I would not hesitate to do it again! Highly recommend!

  • I met Stephanie at a time when life was tossing me in so many directions and I didn’t know which way to turn.  I was expecting our first baby and I was both excited and scared.  Stephanie had a kind listening ear, offered her unconditional support while being caring and treating me like family.  I trusted her fully which is something that is hard for me to do with people I don’t know.  She came during the initial stages of labour and stayed with me right by my side offering love and support.  Today I have a beautiful healthy baby boy.  This is all thanks to our midwives and Stephanie who was our birth and postpartum Doula. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.

  • Stephanie was incredible to my wife (and I) throughout and after the pregnancy. She was always kind, personable, flexible but was also knowledgeable and professional. The visits prior to delivery prepared us well and the visits afterwards have also prepared us better for our new parental roles. Moreover it was more helpful than I can describe to have someone there who has been through this many times before. Furthermore Stephanie always gave us more time than what was expected of her.

  • Stephanie Was very useful and helpful when we needed her back in January when our little boy was born. My husband being in the busiest time of the year we would not have been able to go through it without her help! Thank you for everything!!

  • Stephanie Hammond-Conte was an absolutely amazing support when we welcomed our second child into our family.

    From the very start, Stephanie was warm, professional and empathetic and it felt like she was family. Her vast knowledge and the resources she shared were invaluable, providing us with confidence and peace of mind leading up to the birth of our child.

    When the day came, we had an unexpected home birth. Stephanie was right there in the thick of it and her dedication and calm demeanor were truly remarkable. We cannot imagine what we would have done without her rushing to our sides that day!

    Stephanie went above and beyond in many ways to support our family’s needs and to foster a positive experience filled with joy.

    If you are looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, supportive, and extremely compassionate , Stephanie Hammond-Conte is the one you want by your side! Just ask our 3 year old or our dog - they can’t get enough Stephanie time!

  • Stephanie Hammond is the best doula ever!
    Here is why.

    Through my birth experience Stephanie made me feel like I had a very good friend in my corner and helped me to feel at ease.

    My husband and I were hesitant to hire a doula, but from the very first consultation we knew that Stephanie is amazing. She asked specific questions to make sure that we are all on the same page and that we are prepared for all possible scenarios.

    She didn't push any agendas, she listened and cared for me and my husband.

    Her soft and calm voice cared me through my wait for much coveted epidural ( which seems like forever). Even though the pain of contractions was like 10 out of 10 her presents made it 100 times better.

    And after the epidural she made me feel like we were just hanging out and having fun.

    While on the final stages of pushing Stephanie was by my side making me feel like I am a rock star, while simultaneously helping the nurse and making sure that my husband was staying calm.

    Stephanie turned 24 hours of birthing my baby into a warm memory!

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

  • Stephanie is a fantastic postpartum doula. She took wonderful care of our twin boys during night shifts and provided excellent support during day shifts. We really appreciated her help as we adjusted to becoming parents.

  • Stephanie has been the primary support of our little one. She helped us from the day our daughter was born, took care of our daughter and guided me through postpartum like a family member. She is reliable, helpful, caring and has a beautiful heart. Highly recommend her as doula.
