Suzanne, Metro DC Postpartum Doula

Suzanne, Postpartum Doula & Lactation Education Counselor

Hi - I’m Suzy! I am a mom to two wonderful grown children and the proud grandmother of Esti who just turned one.

As a certified postpartum doula, I can be there DAY ONE when most new parents are exhausted, overwhelmed, and, need hands-on support. I will help you learn to breastfeed, care for your baby and generally inform you as to what is in the range of normal. It is my greatest pleasure to help families find their way as new parents so that they can approach the first few weeks postpartum with joy and confidence.

I’m HERE to let you know you’ve got this!! I am passionate about learning the latest evidence-based care for my clients. I have attended at least 50 seminars and conferences.
