Hi! Iām Stephanie Dayton, MA, CD (DONA), certified birth doula and owner of Dayton Deliveries, LLC.
I began my birth doula journey in 2014 and became certified through DONA in 2018. In addition to providing private birth doula services, I work as a doula for Community Health Network in Indianapolis.
I have had the privilege of providing doula services for over 100 babies born into this world at hospitals in and around Indianapolis. I have experience with non-medicated and medicated births, cesarean sections, and trial of labor after a cesarean (TOLAC) births. I support and encourage factual, evidence based care and maintain the DONA birth doula scope of practice.

Personal Life & Advocacy
I have a husband, three adult kids, several granddarlings, two dogs and two grand puppies. I enjoy reading, bicycling, listening and dancing to live music, chai lattes, and margaritas. I do not enjoy Pilates but recognize its importance in my life.
Since 2017, I have worked alongside the women home buyers with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Indianapolis Women Build. They are amazing single moms.
Previously, I was a volunteer actress in the Vagina Monologues, benefitting those affected by violence.
