Doula Services Provided

My name is Stacy Kuhl, *certified doula. I have four children. The first was born via emergency Cesarean section. My second and third babies were born VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarean). My fourth child was born in my heart and into our family via adoption. 

After experiencing a traumatic labor and delivery with my first child, I did what I could to learn about the birthing process and how to never go through what I did again. Through a dear friend, I learned what a doula was. My doula walked through our second pregnancy with my husband and me, educating us and encouraging us that we were capable of changing the outcome of this birth. Not only was she right, but I actually healed some emotional scars from my first birth!  She was so special that we hired her for our third birth as well!! 

It was after my first VBAC that I said "I want to do this for other women!" I went on to be a doula for friends and family several times over those 19 years, always having the dream in my heart to become a certified doula labor and postpartum support. In 2023, that dream became a reality. I am now a ProDoula certified Labor Doula, Postpartum Doula and Infant Feeding Specialist. 

Hands On Doula Services was birthed out of a desire to support Mamas through the birthing and postpartum experience. My goal is to help educate and empower families so that they are in control of their pregnancy journey. Within her body, a woman has the power to do the most amazing thing - give birth and be a successful mother! Our bodies were created and designed to carry another human being for nine months and then deliver them and bring them earth-side. As a birthing team surrounding you, you can do more than you ever dreamed or imagined. I did!
