We loved working with Susannah and couldn't recommend her more highly. She is a perfect balance of straightforward and compassionate and would be a strong addition to any birth support team.
I began to feel strongly that we would benefit from the support of a doula when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and became concerned that my birth experience would end up very differently than I was hoping. My husband and I had a great and easy-flowing conversation with Susannah during our initial consult, which convinced us that she was the right fit after interviewing a few other doulas. Then in our first official meeting, she asked many thoughtful--if difficult to answer--questions that formed the foundation of our solid relationship. Susannah provided incredibly valuable resources and guidance whenever we had questions or concerns in the weeks that followed, which helped address some of my anxiety as we got closer to baby's arrival. Her support leading up to and during our baby's birth definitely helped us feel confident and enabled us to have the experience we were hoping for: a low intervention and unmedicated birth where I mostly labored at home. Susannah was great with the rest of our care team at the hospital and made sure to advocate for our birth preferences, including giving my husband the opportunity to “catch” our baby. Plus should took pictures of our baby coming into the world so my husband and I could stay fully engaged.
Any family looking for birth doula support would be lucky to work with Susannah.
