About us

Stork Advisor​ 

Stork Advisor® is a platform to help women before, during, and after pregnancy. We are a group of experienced women’s health professionals who have directly cared for thousands of women at various stages of their lives. We have learned that women may encounter new and unexpected challenges at different times.

Our desire is to provide information to help and encourage all women through the content and features of our unique Stork Advisor® app and website.

How did Stork Advisor® begin​?

Stork Advisor® is the dream of a practicing board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist who has been blessed with years of helping women before, during, and after pregnancy. Other gifted and experienced women’s health professionals are a vital part of the Stork Advisor® team. Our years of caring for thousands of women help us to recognize the variety of ways to encourage, inform, and support women with our sincere love of life and family. Our mission is to contribute to the improvement of their outcome and their lives.

Therefore, Stork Advisor® is a tool to equip women with knowledge, share the experiences of others, improve communication and connectivity with loved ones, and provide support during their journey. Our motivation is to help anyone out of love for people. “Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God...and God is love (1 John 4:7-8, New Living Translation).”

Our Contributors 

Our experienced team of physicians, midwives, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and doulas are here to partner with you through your pregnancy and beyond. They will be adding articles and posts as we read your questions and comments so that we can continue to add relevant content to your Stork Advisor®!
