Hello and welcome!
My name is Steph, I am a mother to Sawyer, Emett, Henley & Wren. I am a Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator, a Birth Doula, aRegistered Professional Counsellor, and a former foster parent
My path to motherhood was long and deeply personal. After nearly a decade of unexplained infertility, I came to understand just how layered, sacred, and deeply human the path to parenthood can be. These experiences have shaped not just how I support others- but why I do this work; the way I walk with others-softly, respectfully and with reverence for each unique thread in their story.
Woven Birth was born from the belief that we are not meant to do this alone. Like a tightly woven knot, birth is held by the connections between body and baby, knowledge and intuition, family and care providers. My role is to help hold that knot- offering grounded support, evidence based guidance, and space for your voice to lead the way.
Your body. Your baby. Your birth-Woven together, with sacred intention

My name is Trista, I have two amazing daughters, Rory and Siobhan. I grew up in the Calgary area in Alberta, but have called Vernon my home since 2016 and have been working as a Doula with Stephanie since 2019.
I believe every birth person deserves to feel heard, respected, and deeply supported as they bring new life into the world. My goal as a doula is not to dictate your path, but to provide evidence-based information, physical comfort, and continuous emotional support so you can make informed decisions with confidence
I serve families across the Okanagan, offering support for home and hospital births. Whatever your birth may be, I am dedicated to honoring your space, your energy, and your story
When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me in my garden, at the baseball diamonds, or at the hockey rink with my kids! I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit for your birth.
