About me

Hello Everyone, we are Suyin Jordan, a certified postpartum doula, IBCLC. Certified New Parent Educator with a background in nursing and midwifery in the UK and Petra Nobel, CPD, CNPE and Certified Sleep Consultant, with a background in maternity nursing in the Netherlands. We are the co-owners of Thornhill Doulas. Pregnancy, childbirth and the first few weeks of parenthood is an amazing time in our lives. It should be about the birthing parent, partner (if there is one), baby or babies and what they want for this special time. However, in our fast paced and hectic lifestyles, it can often feel completely overwhelming, especially as more people are living further away from traditional family support. Having doula support will smooth your transition to parenthood- a Magical yet challenging time! We are ready to support all your childbirth and parenting needs, including lactation and sleep.

I absolutely loved my experience with Thornhill Doulas. Petra was the first postpartum doula that I welcomed into my home after my second child was born. I completely trusted her, and felt so at ease, so comforted and supported by her loving and calming presence. It’s been a joy to stay connected with Petra through the years. Seemal was there for me after my third child was born, and I so appreciated her advice, friendship and support. Both Petra and Seemal feel like family, especially during these important transitional periods in our family’s life when we need the support the most. I highly recommend Thornhill Doulas for the professional and well-balanced support they provide mothers during postpartum.

Suyin from Thornhill Doulas is amazing! Thanks to her guidance with breastfeeding, I didn’t get discouraged when my milk supply dipped — I understood what was happening to my body and how to manage it. Her vast knowledge in the subject and calm approach made all the difference during those early weeks. It helps that she's always very responsive too!

I had the pleasure of having Suyin as my doula. As first time parents, she was so knowledgeable and supportive in helping my husband and I navigate caring for our newborn. I really appreciated her support with all things related to breastfeeding, lactation and infant feeding which ensured my baby and I were set-up for success. We are thankful to Suyin for always going above and beyond to address our concerns and needs. I highly recommend Suyin as she is passionate about what she does and has a lot of experience and knowledge to share!

Suyin is amazing and grateful I have her for myself and my newborn! She provided invaluable support for me and my second baby. Although I’m a second time mom who had a smooth exclusively breastfeeding journey with my firstborn, I thought things were going well but every baby is different. She watched me feed, gave me advices and useful tips , took weights for the baby and plotted the growth curve to show me that baby is growing at a healthy range. I will highly recommend Suyin if you have any issue with breastfeeding!
