Suzanne Lim
As the mother of five beautiful children, all born in a variety of situations and locations, you could say I’ve been around the block!
The most important thing you need to know about me, however, is that I respect YOUR birth experience.
Over the past 17 years, I’ve dedicated myself to providing expectant parents with evidence based information and compassionate, down-to-earth support.
Since becoming a DONA (Doulas of North America) trained labour and birth doula, I have worked with hundreds of families- helping to guide them through the birth process and the postpartum transition time.
I’ve attended all types of births: hospital and home births, births attended by OBs and midwives, un-medicated, epidural and cesarean births.
I have been a childbirth educator for 10 years and have taught hundreds of families about the wonders and rigours of labour and birth.
I appreciate and respect the diversity of all family life.
