We first met Susan when we attended her Bradley Method birthing class. We had received such strong recommendations for her class from close friends that our expectations were fairly high, but I can say with absolute assurance that Susan met every one. We liked her so much that after only a few sessions we decided to hire her as our doula to support us through our birth experience.
Susan has many tremendous gifts for supporting couples in natural childbirth, but I think above all else she is someone we could completely trust to help us make the right decisions for our birthing goals during labor. We initially wanted an intervention-free birth, but during the transition to the pushing stage of labor some complications arose and medical intervention was deemed necessary to keep both mom and baby safe. This was a very difficult decision to make, and as my wife could not focus on anything else but the contractions at this time, I needed someone else in the room who I could turn to and affirm that we were making the right decision for mom and baby. Susan was that person and helped us to make the right decision while keeping the birth as intervention-free as possible.
We really cannot recommend Susan high enough as a doula. She has an incredible passion for supporting couples in their natural childbirth goals and her expertise during labor is a huge asset to have at your side. The birth of our daughter was a life-changing experience that my wife and I will never forget and Susan was an integral part in making it happen.
