DeeAnn Stack CD
Certified Birth Doula
Provider For: Quilted Health

Year Began Practicing: 2020

“I strongly believe in autonomy and a woman’s right to make informed and educated decisions regarding her birth. I respect birth and know that birth is unpredictable and support mother’s intuition to know what is right for her care and the care and wellbeing of her children, weighing out the risks and benefits of her options. I have a clear understanding of physiologic birth, movement and comfort measures, as well as interventions, advocacy skills and risks that can present themselves, I speak the language and can help facilitate communication so that the mother is informed and involved. These are all things considered in my prenatal visits, during birth and early postpartum support.”
