Testimonial for Suzanne Kelly
What can I say about Suzanne? Words cannot begin to describe my experience with her! She was a mother, sister, & best friend all rolled into one! I didn't know what to expect in terms of labor & delivery, since this was my first pregnancy. I was referred to her by my sister-in-law, who had hired Suzanne for her own pregnancy. She gave rave reviews for Suzanne, and simply said, "I loved her". I visited her website, and she contacted me immediately. We spoke on the phone, & then met in person. She struck me as someone that was compassionate & understanding, as well as very positive & easy going. She was available via text, email, & phone calll whenever I needed her. I also attended a childbrith class that she taught (excellent, of course!). I ended up going into labor 2 weeks before my due date. I began having contractions during the night, and it was so comforting to know that I could call Suzanne and she would be there for me. We talked and texted through the night & into the early morning, while I coped with the contractions using the techniques that she taught me. When my husband & I (finally) decided to head to the hospital, Suzanne was standing at the hospital entrance waiting for us! While in the labor & delivery room, she used various techniques to help me achieve my goal of an unmedicated birth: slow, controlled breathing; squats; aromatherapy; relaxing music; walking, etc. Suzanne completely supported my choice to not have an epidural or any other medication. After my daughter was delivered, Suzanne: got me lunch; combed & braided my hair; helped me brush my teeth; and she texted my family & friends. She also took great photos of the delivery and afterwards. Even after childbirth was over, she would continue to call and/or text me to see how the baby and I were doing. She also visited us once we were home. Without any hesitation, I will hire Suzanne to be my doula for any future pregnancies!
