Stacy is a full-spectrum doula and a community chaplain, currently completing a Master in Divinity in Interreligious Chaplaincy with a Certificate in Buddhist Chaplaincy . Stacy spent one year of Seminary in trauma studies to enhance her client support and do some self-healing, too! With nearly 20 years as a birth and postpartum doula, she has served as a breastfeeding counselor and student of midwifery.

Her work supporting families through perinatal and postpartum loss revealed a critical need for deeper understanding, more wisdom, and expansion of care.

Her first 400 hour Unit of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) placement was completed at Bumi Sehat, a birth center in Bali, Indonesia, where she had been training and volunteering off and on for the last 18 years. She continued to offer telehealth via Bumi Sehat for the second unit of CPE through 2025. Buddhist Chaplaincy placement hours were completed at Planned Parenthood.

Stacy is the mama to three daughters. Earlier in life, to stay near her children, she taught in Waldorf education and guided youth on outdoor hikes. Time outdoors - camping, backpacking, and trail walks solo, with groups and friends- has been important over the years. Movement and nature contribute to trauma recovery. For Taproot magazine, Stacy wrote an article about Bumi Sehat

She loves the feeling of sunshine on skin, the smell of frankincense, the taste of spicy guacamole, the sound of the Gayatri mantra, and the sight of birds dancing together in the sky.
