Why Willow and Nest?
As the founder of Willow and Nest, Stephanie's journey stems from a deeply personal and transformative experience with pregnancy and childbirth. From becoming a mother at a young age to fulfilling her goal of being a gestational carrier for a same-sex couple, Stephanie's path has been defined by her awe for the magic of conception, pregnancy, and delivery. However, it was her own experiences navigating the postpartum period, particularly during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, that ignited a passionate drive for change.
​
Faced with a lack of information, resources, and support as a recovering birther, Stephanie was compelled to advocate for better care for women, new parents, and families. Her own experience with postpartum health issues and the journey of breastfeeding and donation further solidified her commitment to providing holistic and compassionate support to others embarking on the journey of parenthood.
​
Drawing from her lifelong affinity for holistic practices, coupled with her professional expertise in healthcare marketing and business development, Stephanie is driven to create a sanctuary at Willow and Nest where parents-to-be, new caregivers, and their precious babies can feel pampered, supported, and celebrated. Through her heart, knowledge, skill, and connections, Stephanie is dedicated to delivering a unique, tender, and loving experience, ensuring that every client feels as glorified and empowered as they deserve during this sacred time.
