Testimonial for Suzanne DeSelms

When I found out I was pregnant I knew immediately that I wanted a drug free home water birth. One of the next questions was about a doula. What the heck is a doula? I really had no idea until I went into labor. My doula (Suzanne) was there to help me emotionally and mentally while the midwife was there to make sure Axel and I stayed alive. She reminded me to eat, hold my hand, told me to "roar" (LOL) and helped keep me calm. My family helped too but it wasn't the same, they weren't trained for it like she is. Suzanne, thank you so much for all that you do. You are an amazing doula and my birth would not have been the same without you! <3
