Testimonial for Sue Chargo, ICBD, ICCE, (ICEA) Doula, Educator, Lactation Counselor, Doula Trainer
Phenomenal. Sue is amazing - I can't say enough great things about her and the service she provides. She went above and beyond any and all expectations on multiple occasions, was informative, kind, and understanding, and really took time to get to know us and our growing family. We had a scare early on in the pregnancy that required us to stay two nights at the hospital - Sue was right there, no questions asked, and never once made us feel like she was being put out. It's just who Sue is as a person. It was great having a go-to person to lean on when needed and to discuss how things are coming along and what to expect. There is so much we'd never have thought through if not for Sue. Big things like a birth plan - huge - down to the little things, like a calming scent or room music.
Flexible. Sue does house calls! There's nothing like not having to worry about getting everything ready to go out when you've got so much going on - she'll come right to your home before and after the birth at whatever day/time works best for you, or even meet for breakfast, coffee, or lunch to work through everything.
Professional and organized. Sue was aware of and on top of everything at all times. It's mindblowing. We were surprised when, during a post-birth home visit, Sue delivered a summary of events leading up to the birth of our son. Despite all of the chaos (more so in my panicked mind!) and many, long hours, Sue was keeping track of everything. Stuff we'd forgotten about but can now look back on with an "Oh, yeah!" heartfelt feeling. Things like that just mean so much - Sue does it all, even when you don't even know you needed it.
We took multiple pregnancy/birth classes and read up on anything and everything inbetween, which was great, but I'd trade it all in to have Sue the Doula in our corner.
