Stephanie Freeman

President

Stephanie began her career in the birth world by becoming a LLL Leader when her daughters were babies.  Realizing that the most rebellious thing is to empower people through education, she went full on rogue and became a Certified Childbirth Educator as well as a Doula.  Now she rounds out her support to families by also encapsulating placentas.  Making sure that families understand and have awareness around their choices in the world is a subject that she passionate about!

Nicole is a Birth and Postpartum Doula and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator. After moving to the Bay Area, she spent eight years working for a large woman-owned design firm in Mountain View. In 2010 her first son was born and her world changed forever. A deep passion for supporting mothers through pregnancy and birth took root! In 2015, after five years of being part of the birth community in the South Bay, her family moved to South San Francisco. She is excited to help expand BABI’s influence and build a stronger network among birth workers on the Peninsula -- to better support each other and the families they serve!
