Client Testimonials for Modesto Doula Group
Heather Melton
This review is with respect to the postpartum Doula services offered by Susan Jessee. Susan has been a great help in assisting with the care of our newborn Eleanor in the daytime hours. Susan also works as a nighttime Doula. In hiring Susan I contacted several of her references. All had extraordinary stories of how Susan helped them at different difficult times. She’s a gem. She’s warm and friendly. Babies seem to adore her. You can set your mind at ease and move onto accomplishing your other tasks with Susan watching your babe! Also, she just wants to help, whether it’s bringing you fresh fruit or brownies she made herself. She always brings some light with her into your home!
