We are so grateful to have had Susanna as our doula. Along with our Bradley education, she was the reason we had the natural, unmedicated birth we hoped and planned for.
Susanna provided support and education throughout our pregnancy. She answered our many questions honestly, and with an open heart and mind. She always let us know our options, and explained why some mothers choose one way or another. She offered homeopathic remedies for my ailments. She explained our options when it came to birthing and birth education. We never once felt judged or pressured, only supported.
During labor and the birth, Susanna was instrumental in helping us communicate with one another, the nurses, and the nurse midwife. She made us feel comfortable in a hospital setting. Susanna cared for me with massage and cool rags for my head, while making sure Vinnie kept me hydrated and encouraged me with love and positivity. I will never forget my beautiful, perfect birth!
Susanna made sure we had post-partum support as well. She continued to help us with nursing, caring for baby, and caring for mama. Susanna helped me to recover quickly, and with as little discomfort and stress as possible.
We look forward to our next pregnancy, labor, and birth with Susanna!
