When a woman decides to become a mother their whole world goes through changes. Some of those changes are scary and challenging while others are uplifting and enlightening. I am so grateful that when my wife and I decided to become parents we searched for a Midwife with a lifetime of experience that could guide us on our incredible journey. Susan Terwilliger is one of the most sincere, caring and knowledgeable professionals I have ever met and we had such a wonderful experience with her as our guide for our first born that we sought out her services for another time when we were expecting our second child. No two births are the same but the level of care and guidance that you get with Susie is always the best. I am proud to say that Susan was instrumental in bringing our two children into the world and that my wife got every bit of attention she deserved during two of the most important moments of her life. If you want a natural healthy approach to childbirth look no further, Susan Terwilliger is the best Midwife around.

I thought I understood the birth experience and appreciated midwifery care as I embarked on my journey through pregnancy and birth. Waking up from a nap during my labor and seeing Susie sitting with me and my family, in our home on a Saturday afternoon placed my admiration and gratitude of her and her work to a level I had never imagined. She allowed me to just be, to be present with myself, and to go deep within. Susie was there for me and baby-to-be from the first weeks of pregnancy. Susie was kind, professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and respectful. I felt empowered after each prenatal, coming away with new information about myself, baby-to-be, and the process of pregnancy, and even more so during labor, birth, and postpartum. Because I felt respected and had the utmost confidence in my care from Susie, I had more confidence in my decisions and my ability to birth. Susie is a brilliant human who truly acknowledges and fosters the space that pregnancy and birth take place in. We are so grateful our paths crossed and that we had the privilege of her serving as our midwife.

My family and I love Susan! She is knowledgeable, has an amazing bed side manner, is punctual with her appointment times, and always goes the extra mile for her clients and their specific needs. She takes on whatever role is needed whenever it is needed! She a gentle hand, a firm and supportive voice, a hug on the hard days, and a genuine smile, that seems to shine brighter than the sun itself, when you bring joyous news! She has a plethora of knowledge about many medical, naturopathic, and herbal remedies and knows just the right questions to ask to make sure she finds a solution to help. No matter if it is a physical pain or an emotional/hormonal one Susan is there to work with you and for you. Alaska Birthing is the best place for prenatal care, has the most trusted people at your side while in labor, and continues their amazing services well into your postpartum time. I have birthed four healthy babies at home with Susan (Alaska Birthing) at my side. I hope I will never have to birth a baby without her love, care, and support.
