Testimonial for Sue Chargo, ICBD, ICCE, (ICEA) Doula, Educator, Lactation Counselor, Doula Trainer
Our experience with Sue for our baby prenatal, delivery, and postpartum has been nothing short of utmost perfection. Sue is not only incredibly professional and organized, but more importantly in this field, she is a warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, strong, and has a likeable presence.
From sites like these, I found Sue and knew we needed an interview. We interviewed many doulas and some doula networks, but Sue stood out easily in our mind. Her presence alone at the interview shone through and it was exactly what we would need and want come delivery time. She's got the history and confidence of a guru doula. All of her services were layed out clear as day, and they have been honed down to what they are today to make them cover everything you can think of - which as a first time mom, was extremely relieving and stress-reducing. She also has her Mary Poppins bag full of magical powers to help a variety of different women succeed in the labor zone. I was a bit disappointed it worked so well for me, I wanted to try out more of the bag! This is a good thing though - Sue knew exactly what we should try from her bag based on how my labor was proceeding, and each item she pulled, she hit the target in the bullseye. I'm not sure how her strength never faded during my labor, she applied counterpressure it seemed during each contraction once I had back labor. It was a necessity for me, and she never gave up. She also challenged me to continue laboring and encouraged me at the same time. There was no doubt of safety or security - quite the opposite - Sue emphasized how safe and normal and fabulous my labor was going the entire time which also added priceless emotional value to our experience.
There is no question that we'd go with Sue for future labors. I will be recommending her to my network enthusiastically.
