Testimonial for Erin Moyen, CD/BDT(DONA), PCD(DONA), LCCE, CLE
My husband and I hired Erin as our birth doula for the birth of our second child. After our first meeting with her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our family. Her warm and open personality inspires confidence; my planned birth was a VBAC and she was 100% supportive of this goal. She provided valuable information that helped me decide on an OB, she lent me books on natural childbirth and she emailed various links to me, all tailored to my specific situation.
When I was admitted to the hospital for a placental abruption, I didn't know who to call as my husband was working out of town at the time. Erin dropped everything (even though she wasn't on call!) and she stayed with me until my husband could get there. She helped to keep me calm and informed when my mind was all over the place.
I was put on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy and Erin was so helpful finding information regarding VBACs after an abruption. Because of her support and encouragement, I had the confidence to go into labour naturally and in my own time. All went well and she was by my side as we welcomed our little son earthside! She helped with the initial breastfeeding after the birth, she took pictures and she made sure we were settled before she left us.
Erin has a wealth of knowledge and would definitely be an asset at any birth. We feel like she's more than a doula, she's a part of our family's story. My husband was a little unconvinced about doulas in general, but now he tells all his friends who are expecting children to get a doula! We have nothing but good things to say about our time with Erin.
