We were lucky to have support from Suyin (and Petra who we were also lucky to meet) for the first month and as a first time mom it made things so much easier. All of my worries were soothed, my questions answered with patience and I trusted them to leave my newborn in their care while I took a nap and caught up on much needed sleep. Suyin solved all of my breastfeeding woes and made the process so much easier when it was initially painful. She’s also an amazing cook and it was so great to not have to think about that while figuring out how to take care of a newborn. My husband and I both felt like we had a shortcut to better understanding our baby. Most of all our newborn was able to feel calm and well supported with Suyin’s care and guidance – she’s almost three months now and is very easygoing, which I believe is because we learned how to understand her! We highly recommend Cherry Blossom Doulas!
As a first-time parent, having Suyin support us as our doula during my postpartum period was a game changer. It was reassuring to have access to her knowledge and expertise as we navigated through the confusing and sleep deprived newborn stage.
I was especially grateful for Suyin when I was struggling (and in a lot of pain!) from breastfeeding. She provided helpful tips and videos over text and then even came for a visit the very next day to provide in-person assistance. I’m happy to report that breastfeeding is now a breeze.
Also, Suyin’s cooking is amazing and we appreciated her help keeping our house in order while we had our hands busy with our new baby.
Thank you for everything, Suyin! We’ll miss you!
A+ teacher
I had the privilege of undergoing doula training with Suyin last year. SuYIn is a very knowledgeable teacher, someone who knows the profession at the back of her hand among many other things. Sharing her knowledge does not stop after the training and she is always ready to support and help build your confidence in doing the job. I will always be thankful to you Suyin and for all the things that you do.
