Testimonial for Susannah Glass
Susannah was transformative in our birth experience. When I first met her, I was terrified of giving birth. Through our work together, I was able to enter into labor informed and curious. This evolution was thanks to her expert, empathetic guidance and excellent stream of resources. We talked through every aspect of the process, she gave me clarity about what to expect and what my choices would be, and coached my partner and I on how to manage our way through the whole thing. When we had to be induced early, she was there for every step of walking us through what would happen, what medications and medical interventions we could expect, and what the pros and cons of each were. She taught us to make space within each decision, ask a lot of questions, and come to a conclusion about what was going to be best for us.
During our actual birth, Susannah was an incredible support. She was a wonderful advocate for us throughout and specifically attuned to my needs and comfort (everything from recommending comfortable position shifts to diffusing essential oils to working with the medical staff to make sure we had all the information we needed). She stayed with me even after our new son headed off with my partner to the NICU, talking me through my experience and feeding me peanut butter crackers when I had no brain cells left to do anything but appreciate her presence. If you are looking for someone equal parts caring, empathetic, and an excellent coach and thought partner, I can't recommend working with Susannah highly enough!
