Pregnancy Coaching NYC

In a city where everything happens in a New York minute, pregnancy is your time to slow down and find grounding support that centers you and your baby. 

If you’re a first-time mama, whether you’re navigating the medical system or the subway, it can feel overwhelming.  

You’re not alone.  

Or, if you’re a second or third-time mama seeking a different, more supportive experience, you’re in the right place.  

Your physical, mental, and emotional health matters.  

With the hustle and bustle of the city and the stresses of modern life, is it a challenge to know what to focus on and how best to prepare for the birth and motherhood?  

Whether you live on the Upper East Side, in Flatiron, or in Soho New York support is available.  

Maybe you’re worried you’re not doing enough for your baby. Or you’re anxious about talking with your doctor or in-laws.  

With expert guidance and intentional preparation, you can trust you’re spending your time wisely, investing in the health of your family.

    Sarah T

She’s also a doula which makes a huge difference in knowing what I needed, my anxieties and how to best prepare for birth. I highly recommend her! She’s the best! "

    Diana R

    Mandy F

  • "Stephanie’s taught me tools such as guided meditation and working with the breath. We also involved my husband to learned several partner poses to use during early labor. Now that I’m at the end of the pregnancy journey, Stephanie and I work on positioning to help baby shift around as the baby loves to kick me on the right side - and boy does that hurt!"

    Simone W

  • “Stephanie has a positive, kind and uplifting energy. She’s attentive, knowledgeable and kind. I had the opportunity of working with her prenatally and postnatally and I highly recommend her. She brings out positive energy and awareness of one’s own breath, body and state of mind.”

Pregnancy Coaching Could be Right for You

If you want a deeply fulfilling pregnancy and birth experience, intentional preparation helps you to strengthen your body, mind and intuition so you can handle whatever comes your way. 

Whether you live in a walk-up, elevator building or a private home, it’s your sanctuary in the city that never sleeps. And it plays a role in how you prepare for your baby’s arrival. It’s likely where you’ll spend your early labor. We use furniture, walls and nooks to help you - and your baby -feel supported, calm and centered.

And when anxiety rises, we can pivot to do a walk-and-talk session in a place like Central Park or Carl Schulz Park, using movement, breath work and green space to reduce stress. 

Birthing in NYC brings unique challenges - from getting an Uber to getting a laboring room that’s not a storage closet. 

As a New York Pregnancy Coach and birth doula since 2009, I understand the specific challenges you’ll face, whether you’re giving birth at New York Presbyterian, Mount Sinai, Lenox Hill or NYU.

As your Pregnancy Coach, I bring competence and calm that empowers you to be confident in your ability to labor and  birth. I also aim to empower your partner. 

With Pregnancy Coaching, you also get guidance for postpartum planning to help ensure a smooth transition into motherhood, lowering your risk of a perinatal mood disorder. 

Why Support Matters 

As you begin your motherhood journey, everything is changing. Your body. Your brain. Your relationships. Your priorities. 

A Pregnancy Coach helps you prepare - intelligently, effectively and efficiently - for birth and motherhood - body, mind and soul. 

Doesn’t it make sense to hire a Pregnancy Coach, someone who understands your changing needs and who can be a steady, nurturing and calm presence in your life, to help you to become the mama you’re meant to be?
