Carol DeStefano, CD (DONA)
  Carol DeStefano
Carol is a DONA certified doula providing both labor support and post partum care.  Carol gently guides women and their partners through the birth process and into the world of parenting.  She believes that giving birth is a rite of passage, a sacred moment in every woman's life.  Birth doulas recognize this and work to create a safe and comfortable place for a woman's birth story to unfold.  Partners are honored as a vital part of the birth process and are never replaced by a doula's support.  Carol has been trained to teach parents how to soothe their babies using Dr. Harvey Karp's Happiest Baby on the Block methods. She is available for in home consultations days and evenings. As a mother of two, Carol brings a real life perspective and a healthy sense of humor to her practice.  Carol has been working as a doula since 2003.
