Stacy is a doula and a community chaplain, currently completing a Master in Divinity in Interreligious Chaplaincy with a Certificate in Buddhist Chaplaincy and a year of trauma studies. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work.

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 and wisdom in this area for care providers, leading her to train in Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss with The Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death. She has attended Bereavement Doula training and plans to certify in 2026.

During seminary, she dedicated a year to trauma studies to enhance her client support (and do some self-healing, too!).

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 continues to offer telehealth via Bumi Sehat for the second unit of CPE through 2025. Supervision has been generously shared with a cohort of peers from across the world via Community CPE and Psychotherapy.

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 during summer camps and school breaks. 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.

Stacy begins each day with coffee and dairy-free milk after a deep breath sequence and groundedness to the earth, who is always available to hold us and sustain us.

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.
