Stephanie Rayburn

Stephanie tries her best to defy explanation, but it might be nice to know that she is an engaging introvert, birth-mentor, writer, science-lover, storyteller, foodie, artist, and part-time mystic who tries to stay true to her contradictions while mothering her two children and building a life with her partner, Tyler. She knows your life is probably just as unpredictable and contradictory as hers is, and she wants to celebrate how wonderfully you manage it.

Stephanie teaches Birthing From Within childbirth classes and attends births as a doula in Fort Collins, Colorado. She also offers private birth-story-listening sessions to mothers, fathers, or birth attendants who are working through emotional birth trauma. In her spare time she writes about whatever the wind gives her and works to honor the extraordinary everyday experience of life.
