The Doula Connection
Connecting doulas and birthing families in Sonoma, Marin,
Lake, and Mendocino Counties
Sue Tucker
My passion for this line of work started at the first deliveries I
attended as a "Labor Coach" back in the late 80's and 90's. I was
fortunate enough to be present for the labor and deliveries of my
two nephews and four godchildren.After taking a break to enjoy
raising my kids and watching my god babies grow I have decided
to become a doula so that I may be there to help with this next
generation. I am excited about being a doula for my children,
nieces and nephews and their friends.As a doula, I have enjoyed
working with both single moms & couples. I meet with the mother
or couple to offer assistance with learning their best birth options
that fits their needs & desires. I'm available to give reassurance &
support as needed during the pregnancy. I offer to come to her
home in early labor if she desires or I meet her at the hospital. I'm
there throughout labor, offering comfort measures--
encouragement, massage, relaxation techniques, and
suggestions along the way to aid in helping her to stay comfortable.
My focus during the birthing process is to be there in support of the
mother during the labor and delivery.  My commitment is to provide
continual support at her side, and help her understand the
changing situations that she will be experiencing. I help by
clarifying the options that the mother has so that she may have the
delivery of her choice.
I also provide support for the Dads that want to be present and
active as fathers to their new babies from the very beginning.I have
received many thanks from other mothers that are present at the
time that their loved one. gives birth, thanking me for helping them
share in this experience
As a doula my goal is to help you find your own birth path. Each
path is different. Some are up hill, some are bumpy, some are
short and smooth, and some come with unexpected detours. You
never know which path you get until you're already on the journey. I
help you find your way. It's a joy to be a part of each woman's
journey through birth
I am very proud and excited to be part of this next "Generation". It is
my honor to attend women at their births and to support them
afterwards. There is nothing quite like the birth of a new baby and
the changes it brings to a woman and her family. I would be
honored to share life’s most treasured moments with you.
