I had the incredible privilege of having Erin as my doula during my second child's pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey. Erin is deeply passionate about supporting families and individuals during this special and, at least for me, incredibly anxious time. Throughout my pregnancy, Erin provided invaluable guidance, emotional support, and evidence-based information that empowered me to make informed choices about my birth plan. I had many anxieties and questions, and Erin responded to them with care and comfort.

When my labor day arrived, she was by my side, offering unwavering encouragement and comfort. Her presence was a calming force in the delivery room. What sets Erin apart is her genuine care and dedication. She went above and beyond to ensure both my partner and I felt heard, respected, and supported throughout the entire journey. Her knowledge and experience in childbirth and postpartum care were evident, and her non-judgmental approach allowed us to make the choices that felt right for our family.

In the postpartum period, Erin continued to be a source of support, offering guidance on breastfeeding (she even helped me through a blocked duct and blep!), newborn care, and emotional well-being. Her expertise and kindness have been a lifeline for our family. I can't express how grateful I am to have had Erin as my doula. Her dedication to my family's well-being made all the difference in our birthing experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Erin to anyone seeking compassionate, knowledgeable, and unwavering support during pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond.

As first time parents, it was wonderful having someone in the delivery room to guide and support us. Erin met with us a few times before delivery, and was very responsive to emails, texts, and phone calls. She had such a calming presence that was greatly appreciated and helped to keep us calm before and during delivery. 

Erin held my hand during delivery, and often reminded me to stay hydrated. She was a great advocate and asked the nursing staff for whatever I needed to be comfortable. She was amazing, and we are so glad she was there to support us.
