Testimonial for Erica Jacobsen

My husband and I had absolutely the best time working with Erica for our birthing experience. She is incredibly knowledgable about everything and took the time to answer all our questions both before, during, AND after this experience. She gave us the chance to choose everything we thought would work for us, offered suggestions and options for when we didn't know what to do, and supported us as we changed our mind and changed it again. Our baby came a touch earlier than expected, and she was available for us right when we needed her and so supportive through the entire experience. She was very hands on (since I wanted that, but she is flexible with everything!) and really knows what she is doing with counter pressure, labor techniques etc. With her support, I was able to play music and sing during pushing, and trust me she was direct and told me what I needed to hear as the baby was crowning. I canNOT stress enough how immediately my husband and I were able to click with her warm and caring personality and supportive nature. She is so grounding and really was one of the best parts of our birth! I will say, part of what we wanted her to be was also supportive to my husband so he could better support me, and she was able to grant us the support as a unit and read what was needed for each of us and when. It's hard to find exactly the right words to write about her, since nothing feels quite enough, but if I was talking to someone in conversation I would say she is a warm hug of a person and a powerhouse when you need it. Erica is a wealth of knowledge and has so much experience as well as passion and excitment for the birthing process. Would 1000% reccommend!
