Caring, Compassionate, Knowledgeable Doula Services For the Seattle Mom
I believe your birth should be a positive and empowering experience. It is my goal that you feel confident, capable and supported as you give birth to your baby.
Why Work With A Doula?
Working with a doula has many benefits. A doula:
>Helps you develop skills and confidence for birth
>Coaches and encourages you throughout your labor and the birth of your child
>Supports your birth partner to participate at their comfort level
>Doulas can help shorten your labor and help you have fewer complications
>Reduces the risk of your birth escalating to caesarean birth
>Increases success rates with breastfeeding
>Reduces the risks of post partum depression
What People Are Saying About Suzzie, The Seattle Doula
I loved Suzzie from the moment we started talking. We used her as our doula for the birth of our second child. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough! She is calm and has an amazing energy that can be felt throughout the whole room. She is a huge reason I was able to have the birth I wanted.
-Nikki, Second Time Mom
Suzzie was a calming, kind and confident presence. We had such a positive birth experience and could not have done it without her.
-Nancy, First Time Mom
If you're on the fence about whether to hire a doula or not, I highly recommend it. And I would 100% recommend Suzzie to any of my friends, family or strangers. I'm so thankful she came into my life at just the right time. I just wish I hired her sooner.
