Testimonial for Erin Stertz-Follett, Hypnobirthing Educator & Doula
We hired Erin for childbirth education and for doula services and are so happy we did! It was great to spend time with her before the birth and get to know each other. Erin was not only informative, but her classes were interactive and engaging. She brought a great balance of literature, activities, and videos. She has such an impressive set of credentials - we loved that she was able to bring so many birthing tools and perspectives to share with us. We knew Erin was smart, organized, easy going and caring from our first interview and through our classes and we were confident that she would be a great doula, but, it was not until the most intense moments of labor that we saw her incredible gift and skill as a doula. Our labor experience was not exactly what we had hoped for as I had to be induced early due to a complication. I was told it was very unlikely that I would go into labor from Cervadil only, but I did! My husband called Erin at 4am that morning in a near panic because things were moving along and we were not expecting it to happen so soon! Erin came shortly after and was with us until our baby girl was born. I can still hear Erin's voice so clearly in my head providing me with support, strength, and courage when I was certain I could not go on. She was there for my husband and she was there for me, never letting me give up and always guiding me with a calm, warm, but firm voice. Besides being highly trained and talented, Erin went above and beyond for us many times: she rearranged her schedule to make sure we got all of our classes in before induction, she stayed committed to our birth even though it was three weeks early, she answered emails promptly, provided advice as she felt comfortable (to my many questions), and she reached out to her colleagues when she needed more information. She is AWESOME and we are so thankful for her presence and expertise at the birth of our daughter. We highly recommend her as an edcuator and doula!
