Testimonial for Sue Chargo, ICBD, ICCE, (ICEA) Doula, Educator, Lactation Counselor, Doula Trainer
We were so very fortunate to have Sue as our prenatal and postpartum doula! She provided amazing support, education and organization before, during and after birth! Whatever your plan is Sue will support you 100%! We were very impressed by how wonderful and professional she was with communication not only with my husband and I but with the hospital staff too. My husband and I initially had reservations about birthing at a hospital (we went to Methodist with the midwives) but Sue really put us at ease. She was at my side throughout labor providing positive and calming affirmations. She seemed to just know exactly what we needed! She was prepared with cool towels, snacks, flameless candles, etc to create the peaceful environment we desired. She even helped recite some Hypnobabies scripts when my husband needed a break. Our plan was to try for a vaginal birth with no drugs involved. When labor became very tough for me (during transition & pushing) Sue provided calm guidance to help get me (and my hubby!) through it. She made me feel empowered at a time when I thought I could take no more. I believe that encouragement helped me believe in myself and my body, and I cannot express my gratitude enough. The postpartum service she provided was great too--not only because we are new parents but we are transplants with no family in town. Just as with prenatal services she went above & beyond our expectations. I was able to get a shower in while she watched our little one and we took him out in the stroller for the first time for a walk on a beautiful day. We recommend Sue without reservations as a doula because she is so passionate and driven to help women & their families during such a special and transformative time in their lives.
