Meet Stephanie Fritz, LM, CPM

Hi, I’m Stephanie Fritz, a Licensed Midwife and Certified Professional Midwife. Through my work as The Essential Midwife, I support women in understanding their bodies and navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum healing, hormones, and gut health. My goal is simple: to help women feel informed, supported, and confident in the decisions they make about their health. I believe that when women are given the right information and guidance, they are fully capable of making powerful choices for themselves and their families.

My Approach

Root Cause Perspective

I help women explore what may be happening beneath symptoms so we can support the body as a whole.

Education & Empowerment

My goal is to give women the knowledge they need to feel confident in their health decisions.

Whole Body Wellness

Hormones, gut health, fertility, and pregnancy are deeply connected, and my approach supports the full system.

Who I Work With

Many of the women I work with are looking for a deeper understanding of their bodies and their health.

Some are preparing for pregnancy or navigating fertility challenges. Others are moving through pregnancy or postpartum and want support that looks at the whole picture.

I also work with women who are experiencing hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, or unexplained symptoms and want to explore what may be happening at the root level.

If you’re someone who wants to feel informed, supported, and empowered in your health decisions, you’re in the right place.

Conultations

We talk through what you're experiencing, your questions, and what support may be most helpful.

Virtual Midwife

Ongoing guidance and support when you want a steady presence alongside your journey.

Oil Education

Safe, intentional essential oil education designed specifically for pregnancy, birth, and babies.

Hi, I’m Stephanie.

My path into midwifery began with a deep curiosity about how the body works and a strong belief that women deserve to feel informed and supported in their health decisions.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside women through fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum healing, hormonal shifts, and gut health concerns. Each experience has reinforced what I believe at the core of my work: when women understand their bodies, they are empowered to make confident decisions about their health.

My approach combines traditional midwifery wisdom with a root-cause perspective. Instead of simply managing symptoms, I help women explore what may be happening beneath the surface so we can support the body as a whole.

This work is deeply meaningful to me, and I’m honored to support women through some of the most important seasons of their lives.
