We hired Sue to be our childbirth doula for the birth of our first child born March 28, 2016. Sue helped us through a challenging last few weeks leading up to the delivery, and she was by our side throughout childbirth, and continues to be a support in the postpartum period.
Choosing Sue as our Doula was the best decision that we ever made. Her loving and caring approach combined with her extensive knowledge of the childbirth experience made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We would highly recommend Sue to anyone that is looking for a Doula that will feel and eventually become like family.

Sue was a great partner throughout the pregnancy and entire labor process. She met with us regularly leading up to the birth to help formulate a complete birth plan we were comfortable with. She was available as a resource for any questions, big or small, leading up to the birth.
It was great to have her upbeat attitude and calming presence during the delivery. She has also followed-up to check in on us after the birth to make sure everything is going well.
We highly recommend her!

As first time parents and knowing that we didn't have relatives living close to us, hiring Sue as our post-partum doula was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. We were anticipating that caring for a newborn was going to be challenging and and it was such a relief to have Sue. I was grateful for not only her help with the household tasks like laundry, but also simply holding the baby while I took a shower or slept. She genuinely cared for my well being and that of my son. Sue also gave me great guidance on the care of a newborn that gave me confidence to take care of my baby in the weeks ahead when I was on my own.

I contacted Sue near the end of my third trimester to be a part of our baby's arrival and also to help us adjust at home with postpartum care. From helping create a birth plan during prenatal visits to hands-on education in giving our baby his first baths after we came home, her helpful guidance on many topics was a valuable form of support to both me and my husband.
Her calm encouragement got us through several hours of labor. After our baby showed signs of distress an unplanned c-section was necessary for his safe delivery and her supportive presence during the surgery prep was very helpful. Due to the circumstances, she wasn't able to be in the OR, but she stayed in contact with us and visited in the hospital after our son was born.
With my husband back at work, I looked forward to her postpartum visits - a friendly face to a tired new mom, Sue was willing to help in so many ways and offer encouragement and reassurance that we were on the right track. She understands what new parents need for support and guidance. Our son was always content after a visit from Sue.
Sue made herself readily available for questions and concerns by email, phone, and text with timely responses and frequent check-ins.
She has a passion for her role and the families she serves. Her caring, non-judgemental approach put us at ease in a new world for us, and I'm thankful she was a part of our birthing and postpartum experience.
