About me

Birth & Postpartum Doula, Mother to one adult child. Serving the greater Sarasota, Siesta Key & Tampa area. I became a Certified Doula through DONA in 2005. I love everything to do with pregnancy & delivery -- and I love holding the newborns postpartum.I'm here to provide support during a very important time in a woman's life (and her partners too, of course). I am available for 'on call' Doula services as well as pre-planned help. I can assist with lactation and newborn care, also. WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE: I will sit with your infant postpartum should they require NICU support. This will help parents sleep or return to work. I look forward to speaking with you!

Suzanne came rolling into our hospital room with a big smile, a positive attitude & several relaxation methods. She turned down the lights, closed the door, put on lullaby music and transported me to a less intimidating environment. It was like I was at the spa (well, almost lol).

Contacted her the week of my birth when I was having 2nd thoughts about not hiring a Doula.. She was kind enough to drop everything & attend my delivery. I would recommend.

Found her to be caring, patient and knowledgeable. Would re-hire with next pregnancy.
