Testimonial for Stephanie Suntken CD/PCD
I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie. My partner and I interviewed multiple doulas, and from the beginning Stephanie impressed us with her knowledge about birth, thoughtful questions, and genuine supportiveness. Even though my partner and I were both experienced parents, when we found out that our son had heart issues, we were understandably worried about what this would mean for the delivery and postpartum period. Stephanie was a constant source of support, comfort, and understanding during this time.
During the birth, Stephanie's presence was invaluable. She not only provided emotional and physical support, but also made a wonderfully cozy environment to labor in despite it being in a hospital room. She helped ask questions and communicate my wishes to my care team, who were also incredibly impressed by her. She made sure I felt comfortable and empowered during the delivery process, and after my partner and our son had to leave for the NICU, she stayed with me while I processed the powerful emotions from the birth experience.
A few weeks later, our son was able to come home, and Stephanie continued to be a rock for our family. She provided wonderful postpartum support for both me and our newborn. She was always available to answer our questions, and spent many hours in our home supporting our family and helping take care of our son. Overall, Stephanie's care and support were essential in helping us navigate the challenges of bringing a baby with health issues into the world. Our family is forever grateful for her kindness, wisdom, and compassionate expertise. I highly recommend Stephanie as both a birth and postpartum doula to any expecting parents.
