my spouse and i had erin on our care team for a pregnancy i gestated between march and december 2023. we were drawn to working with erin due to her skills at approaching pregnancy, birth, and children from a gender-neutral lens; her skills as an acupuncturist; and her pro food and pro fat politics. throughout our time with erin, i appreciated that she was clear and flexible in her communication approches and finding strategies that worked well for all of us. i also really appreciated how thoroughly she took notes and was receptive to our adding questions to meetings where we were exploring our birth plan. i spent a lot of time in early labour and erin is the main reason i was able to sleep during that time -- her acupuncture treatments were instrumental in helping me cat nap. after a surprise c-section, erin went to bat for me in the hospital, convincing hospitality staff to give me twice my alotted food for the day because of how hungry i was, and she also stayed on my care team in my immediate post-partum period, providing me with c-section scar acupuncture and helping me grow used to having nerves that would need time to regrow. i am really glad to have gotten the opportunity to work with her.
