Hi, I’m Susan — your birth cheerleader, information translator, and gentle-but-firm guide

My journey into birth work started when my daughter had her baby. She was excited, overwhelmed, and unsure what her choices were in a hospital setting. I saw how much she needed someone in her corner—someone to calmly explain her options, remind her of her strength, and help her feel in control. That’s when it clicked: so many moms need this kind of support.

I believe birth is not something to be managed—it’s something to be understood, respected, and experienced with intention. I work with new moms who want a low-intervention birth but feel unsure where to begin. They're excited, a little nervous, and totally ready to lean into the deep wisdom their body already holds.

What makes me different?
I don’t tell you what to do. I teach you how to ask for what you want. I break down the science in a way that actually makes sense, and I bring a calm, grounding presence to even the busiest hospital room. I read the energy, I multitask like a pro, and most importantly—I’ve got your back, all the way through.

Whether you’re looking for doula support, childbirth education, or private coaching, I’m here to help you feel seen, safe, and prepared. You were made for this—and I’ll remind you of that every step of the way.
