"It was so comforting to have Susie by my side..."

Susie is an incredibly knowledgeable resource for all things pregnancy, birth, and baby! I had the honor of Susie attending one of my births as my doula, and it was so comforting having her by my side. Although it was my 3rd child, she helped walk me through my labor at home and stick to our birth plan once we got to the hospital.

After our baby was born, Susie made it a priority to check in on us. She helped me sort through some breastfeeding difficulties, and anytime I had questions about my newborn, she had helpful information, articles, and resources to send my way.

Whether it’s your first pregnancy or you’re an experienced mom, I highly recommend having Susie as your doula. She makes you her priority and truly loves her job. It was a pleasure working with her!

"Susie makes sure you feel comfortable during this special moment in your life."

I had Susie at my last two births, and I'm so glad I did! She kept me in the know of the doctor lingo, making sure I really understood what was going on. She is there for you 100%, wanting to make sure you feel comfortable during this special moment in your life! You will never regret choosing her to be your doula!
