"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."

"Susie has delivered both of my babies. Each birth was unique and tailored to our wants and needs. My appointments with her started as soon as we found out we were pregnant to 6 weeks postpartum. Susie made sure with each interaction that I and baby were as healthy as we could be. This included not only physically but also emotionally and mentally. I particularly love how she supported and helped me through every stage of labor and birth- giving me advice, strength and encouragement. My postpartum experience was also wonderful with Susie! She made sure nursing was going great, that I was healing well and that our baby was healthy too! She has amazing advice and is who I turn to first when I have a question. I will always treasure my birth experiences with Susie and wish I could have many more babies just so I could see her more often! I recommend Susie to all my friends that are considering a home birth!"

"Birthing and mothering have been awe-inspiring and life altering for me. I have a strong preference for control and was concerned that I would not be able to cope with an experience where my body took over. This same preference made a hospital birth undesirable and led me to pursue a home birth.
Susie delivered both of my little boys at home. My two birth experiences were very different; in both cases Susie’s calm and professionalism made me feel safe and supported. Each prenatal visit with Susie built a lifeline between me and my strongest, bravest self. I left her office feeling stronger and more hopeful that I was prepared for my birth (my baby’s birth). Her confidence that I could do this thing convinced me, and I did. I looked forward to her aftercare visits where I could show off my beautiful babies to the woman who became like my fairy godmother. I will be forever grateful that I found her. Grateful to know her and to have been under her care for this most transformational expression of womanhood. I am so happy that the first hands that touched my babies were hers. They could not have had a kinder or more competent midwife into the world.
All my love and for always,
Anna

"My experience with Suzie as a midwife has been beyond the level of pleasant, and into the realm of meaningful, inspirational, and profound."
"Few people, let alone health care providers, take the extra effort like Suzie does to get to know you. It goes without saying that Suzie is medically knowledgeable, competent, and organized, and also extremely easy to work with on insurance issues, paperwork, etc…" "Her gentle manner was supremely respectful, while at a critical moment, her confident, assertive guidance displayed acute midwifery skill."

"Susie Terwilliger is a wonderful midwife - I would have a hundred babies with her if I could!
"She is professional and extremely knowledgeable, and at the same time supremely warm and gentle."
"When my husband and I discuss the possibility of having another child, we discuss also the fact that Susie is in Alaska, and we're in Texas....
Yes, she's that good. Two thumbs up! "

"There are few people in my life who are as compassionate, empathic, knowledgeable and
trustworthy as Susie."
"She helped me see my own strength.....she doesn't take the credit (even if she deserves much of it!), but rather works to help the mother find her own powerful Self during her birthing time. "
"It is truly difficult to express my respect, fondness and trust of Susie with words. She is a gifted midwife and I consider myself and my family blessed to know her."
