Testimonial for Susan Rotman, AAHCC, CD(DONA)
By far one of the best decisions we made in our pregnancy and birth journey was to take Susan’s birth class and hire her as our doula. She prepared us so, so well for what turned out to be a difficult and complicated delivery; we firmly believe that thanks to her diligent and passionate coaching, knowledge, and empathy we were able to take the birth in stride and succeed. In the weeks leading up to the birth we communicated regularly, and her texts of advice and encouragement helped us stay calm as we waited for labor. It was amazing to have someone who was there for us, to answer any question we had. Once labor began Susan was a rock: she knew exactly when to advise we leave for the birth center, and had a million tricks to help ease discomfort and help me progress in my pushing. She knew exactly when to urge me to keep going and when to gently tell me I was doing amazing. Susan helped us have confidence in our choices about birth and my ability to have our baby, and when things didn’t go to plan she was the best reassuring cheerleader we could ask for.
