“Stephanie was an amazing teacher as well as a valuable support for my husband and I during this journey to becoming first time parents. She quickly joined our circle of trusted people who we knew would respect our wishes as well as provide us with valuable resources when we had questions and concerns. Her positive attitude and openness to learn alongside her teaching was inspiring.” -Brittany B.
