Testimonial for Suzanne Kelly
I was on the fence about hiring a doula for most of my pregnancy. It wasn't until well into the third trimester that I decided to look into one. With a referral from my hynobirthing coach and then another doula, I was introduced to Sue Kelly. From the moment we first spoke on the phone, I felt incredibly at ease with her. We met in person a short time after speaking and I knew that she was the doula for us instantly! She had a tenderness to her that reminded me of the nurturing care only a mother could provide. She was calm, intelligent, and had a such pleasant sense of humor. Overall, she made me feel so comfortable and at peace. These wonderful attributes would definitely come in handy during my 24 hr. labor.
My husband and I were so thankful to have Sue's support through the birthing process. I had to be induced and I had told Sue that I was hoping to try to avoid an epidural if possible. When the pitocin kicked in full strength, it was brutal. Sue was such an amazing support to have by my side. She helped guide me along with my breathing and birthing positions, and included my husband in the whole process so he didn't feel lost, scared, or left out. When the contractions became so intense that it was hard for me to concentrate, Sue knew how to bring my focus back on my body and my breathing. My son was born without any complication and I was able to follow through with my birthing plan. I honestly can't imagine the experience turning out so well without Sue.
Both my husband and I sing praises for Sue's presence during the labor and we highly reccommend her to anyone considering the support of a doula. We are planning on adding to our family in the near future and there is no doubt that Sue will be by our side once again for the arrival.
