Testimonial for Susanna Mauzy
I would enthusiastically recommend Susanna to other couples expecting a child. As a first-time father, I had no idea of the help a doula could provide to me as well as to my wife. Far from pushing me aside or replacing me, Susanna allowed me to be the best support I could be as my wife endured a 36-hour labor with our first child. With gentle and timely guidance, Susanna put me in the best position to help my wife as often as possible, and she gracefully stepped in when my wife asked for a more experienced hand. Susanna was our quiet advocate in conversations with hospital staff and our reassurance when we were unsure of the path forward, all while allowing us to make the decisions that were right for us. In addition, being with my wife throughout a difficult 36-hour labor was an emotional challenge I never expected, and Susanna was as attentive to my emotional well-being as she was to my wife. She cushioned what could have been a traumatic experience for both of us with her knowledge of what was going on and her calm, encouraging demeanor.
