Stacy Gunter

Mother of Three Girls

Birth, Postpartum & Bereavement Doula

Stacy is a mama to three teens, splitting her time between the USA and the beautiful island of Bali.

She is an Interreligious Chaplain, completing a Master in Divinity with a Certificate in Buddhist Chaplaincy, and she has a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work.

With nearly 20 years as a birth and postpartum doula, she also serves as a breastfeeding counsellor 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 and Bereavement Doula Care.

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

Her clinical placement included a birth centre in Bali, Indonesia, where she had been volunteering off and on for about 18 years.

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 with groups and friends - has been important over the years.

Stacy begins each day with coffee and dairy-free milk, followed by meditation (even when it’s a struggle to get started).

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.

Stacy's Role in this Camino

With her many years of experience in working with Pregnancy and Infant Loss, Stacy has tailored a program for this Camino and will help participants through different processes and rituals to work through (and walk through) their grief.

Her intention is that - by the end of the Camino - you'll feel more capable of living with your grief and have the skills to manage the feelings as they come up throughout life.

This walk is an invitation to move through grief in community — to share stories, silence, and strength with others who understand.

With Stacy’s professional care and heartfelt presence, and the shared rhythm of walking side by side - we hope each participant finds moments of peace, connection, and hope along the way. Grief may change us forever, but together, step by step, we can keep walking toward light, love, and the future waiting ahead.

We would be honored to walk this path with you
